  Young, James E.; Igarashi, Takeo; Sharlin, Ehud (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  Puppet Master is a system that enables designers to rapidly create interactive and autonomous animated character behaviors that react to a main character controlled by an end-user. The behavior is designed by demonstration, ...

• Elevation Cable Modeling for Interactive Simulation of Cranes 

  García-Fernandez, Ignacio; Pla-Castells, Marta; Martinez-Dura, Rafael J. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  In this paper, the way to simulate hoisting cables in real time is addressed. We overcome instability in such simulation by considering a two-layered model: a model for the dynamics of a cable passing through a set of ...

• Synthesis of Interactive Hand Manipulation 

  Liu, C. Karen (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We present an interactive physics-based motion synthesis technique for creating hand manipulation across a wide variety of tasks, objects, user interventions, and stylistic preferences. Given an object being manipulated, ...

• Image-based Collision Detection and Response between Arbitrary Volume Objects 

  Faure, Francois; Barbier, Sebastien; Allard, Jeremie; Falipou, Florent (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We present a new image-based method to process contacts between objects bounded by triangular surfaces. Unlike previous methods, it relies on image-based volume minimization, which eliminates complex geometrical computations ...

• Globally Coupled Collision Handling Using Volume Preserving Impulses 

  Sifakis, Eftychios; Marino, Sebastian; Teran, Joseph (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We present a novel algorithm for collision processing on triangulated meshes. Our method robustly maintains a collision free state on complex geometries while resorting to collision resolution at time intervals often ...

• Staggered Poses: A Character Motion Representation for Detail-Preserving Editing of Pose and Coordinated Timing 

  Coleman, Patrick; Bibliowicz, Jacobo; Singh, Karan; Gleicher, Michael (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We introduce staggered poses - a representation of character motion that explicitly encodes coordinated timing among movement features in different parts of a character's body. This representation allows us to provide ...

• Achieving Good Connectivity in Motion Graphs 

  Zhao, Liming; Safonova, Alla (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  Motion graphs provide users with a simple yet powerful way to synthesize human motions. While motion graphbased synthesis has been widely successful, the quality of the generatedmotion depends largely on the connectivity ...

• Motion-Motif Graphs 

  Beaudoin, Philippe; Coros, Stelian; Panne, Michiel van de; Poulin, Pierre (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We present a technique to automatically distill a motion-motif graph from an arbitrary collection of motion capture data. Motion motifs represent clusters of similar motions and together with their encompassing motion graph ...

• Flexible Simulation of Deformable Models Using Discontinuous Galerkin FEM 

  Kaufmann, Peter; Martin, Sebastian; Botsch, Mario; Gross, Markus (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We propose a simulation technique for elastically deformable objects based on the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG FEM). In contrast to traditional FEM, it overcomes the restrictions of conforming basis ...

• Two-way Coupling of Rigid and Deformable Bodies 

  Shinar, Tamar; Schroeder, Craig; Fedkiw, Ronald (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We propose a framework for the full two-way coupling of rigid and deformable bodies, which is achieved with both a unified time integration scheme as well as individual two-way coupled algorithms at each point of that ...

• Fast Adaptive Shape Matching Deformations 

  Steinemann, Denis; Otaduy, Miguel A.; Gross, Markus (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We present a new shape-matching deformation model that allows for efficient handling of topological changes and dynamic adaptive selection of levels of detail. Similar to the recently presented Fast Lattice Shape Matching ...

• Meshless Modeling of Deformable Shapes and their Motion 

  Adams, Bart; Ovsjanikov, Maks; Wand, Michael; Seidel, Hans-Peter; Guibas, Leonidas J. (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  We present a new framework for interactive shape deformation modeling and key frame interpolation based on a meshless finite element formulation. Starting from a coarse nodal sampling of an object's volume, we formulate ...

• Perceptually Guided Expressive Facial Animation 

  Deng, Zhigang; Ma, Xiaohan (The Eurographics Association, 2008)

  Most of current facial animation approaches largely focus on the accuracy or efficiency of their algorithms, or how to optimally utilize pre-collected facial motion data. However, human perception, the ultimate measuring ...

• Pose-Space Animation and Transfer of Facial Details 

  Bickel, Bernd; Lang, Manuel; Botsch, Mario; Otaduy, Miguel A.; Gross, Markus (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
