• Dynamic Units of Visual Speech 

  Taylor, Sarah L.; Mahler, Moshe; Theobald, Barry-John; Matthews, Iain (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  We present a new method for generating a dynamic, concatenative, unit of visual speech that can generate realistic visual speech animation. We redefine visemes as temporal units that describe distinctive speech movements ...

• Faster Acceleration Noise for Multibody Animations using Precomputed Soundbanks 

  Chadwick, Jeffrey N.; Zheng, Changxi; James, Doug L. (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  We introduce an efficient method for synthesizing rigid-body acceleration noise for complex multibody scenes. Existing acceleration noise synthesis methods for animation require object-specific precomputation, which is ...

• Controlling Liquids Using Meshes 

  Raveendran, Karthik; Thuerey, Nils; Wojtan, Chris; Turk, Greg (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  We present an approach for artist-directed animation of liquids using multiple levels of control over the simulation, ranging from the overall tracking of desired shapes to highly detailed secondary effects such as dripping ...

• Mass-Conserving Eulerian Liquid Simulation 

  Chentanez, Nuttapong; Müller, Matthias (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  We present a GPU friendly, Eulerian, free surface fluid simulation method that conserves mass locally and globally without the use of Lagrangian components. Local mass conservation prevents small scale details of the free ...

• Principal Geodesic Dynamics 

  Tournier, Maxime; Reveret, Lionel (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  This paper presents a new integration of a data-driven approach using dimension reduction and a physicallybased simulation for real-time character animation. We exploit Lie group statistical analysis techniques (Principal ...

• Misconceptions of PD Control in Animation 

  Allen, Brian F.; Faloutsos, Petros (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  In this paper, we address certain misconceptions that have been perpetuated in the animation practice and research for quite some time related to the proportional-derivative (PD) control of physics-based systems. Because ...

• Physically Plausible Simulation for Character Animation 

  Levine, Sergey; Popovic, Jovan (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  Artist-created animated characters can exhibit stylized, engaging behavior, but require considerable effort to construct, while interactive applications require numerous motions and variations to create a dynamic, believable ...

• Simple Data-Driven Control for Simulated Bipeds 

  Geijtenbeek, T.; Pronost, Nicolas; Stappen, A. F. van der (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  We present a framework for controlling physics-based bipeds in a simulated environment, based on a variety of reference motions. Unlike existing methods for control based on reference motions, our framework does not require ...

• Cloning Crowd Motions 

  Li, Yi; Christie, Marc; Siret, Orianne; Kulpa, Richard; Pettré, Julien (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  This paper introduces a method to clone crowd motion data. Our goal is to efficiently animate large crowds from existing examples of motions of groups of characters by applying an enhanced copy and paste technique on them. ...

• Quaternion Space Sparse Decomposition for Motion Compression and Retrieval 

  Zhu, Mingyang; Sun, Huaijiang; Deng, Zhigang (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  Quaternion has become one of the most widely used representations for rotational transformations in 3D graphics for decades. Due to the sparse nature of human motion in both the spatial domain and the temporal domain, an ...

• Environment-aware Real-Time Crowd Control 

  Henry, Joseph; Shum, Hubert P. H.; Komura, Taku (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  Real-time crowd control has become an important research topic due to the recent advancement in console game quality and hardware processing capability. The degrees of freedom of a crowd is much higher than that provided ...

• Evaluating the Plausibility of Edited Throwing Animations 

  Vicovaro, Michele; Hoyet, Ludovic; Burigana, Luigi; O'Sullivan, Carol (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  Animation budget constraints during the development of a game often call for the use of a limited set of generic motions. Editing operations are thus generally required to animate virtual characters with a sufficient level ...

• Component-based Locomotion Composition 

  Kim, Yejin; Neff, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2012)

  When generating locomotion, it is particularly challenging to adjust the motion's style. This paper introduces a component-based system for human locomotion composition that drives off a set of example locomotion clips. ...
