We propose a new fluid control technique that uses scale-dependent force control to preserve small-scale fluid detail. Control particles define local force fields and can be generated automatically from either a physical ...

This paper presents a novel data-driven system for expressive facial animation synthesis and editing. Given novel phoneme-aligned speech input and its emotion modifiers (specifications), this system automatically generates ...

We present a general-purpose numerical scheme for time integration of Lagrangian dynamical systems an important computational tool at the core of most physics-based animation techniques. Several features make this particular ...

We present a method for progressive deforming meshes. Most existing mesh decimation methods focus on static meshes. However, there are more and more animation data today, and it is important to address the problem of ...

This paper presents a physics-based method for creating complex multi-character motions from short singlecharacter sequences. We represent multi-character motion synthesis as a spacetime optimization problem where constraints ...

We present an efficient algorithm for simulating contacts between deformable bodies with high-resolution surface geometry using dynamic deformation textures, which reformulate the 3D elastoplastic deformation and collision ...

We present a novel algorithm for efficiently splitting deformable solids along arbitrary piecewise linear crack surfaces in cutting and fracture simulations. We propose the use of a meshless discretization of the deformation ...

Control of physical simulation has become a popular topic in the field of computer graphics. Keyframe control has been applied to simulations of rigid bodies, smoke, liquid, flocks, and finite element-based elastic bodies. ...

By changing only the playback timing of a motion sequence, an animator can achieve a variety of effects that alter our perception of an event. In some scenarios, it may be important to consider physical properties of the ...

Motion capture data is now widely available to create realistic character animation. However, it is di?cult to reuse without any additional information. For this reason, annotating motion data with kinematic constraints ...
