Progressive Simulation for Cloth Quasistatics

Jiayi Eris Zhang, Jérémie Dumas, Yun (Raymond) Fei, Alec Jacobson, Doug L. James, Danny M. Kaufman The trade-off between speed and fidelity in cloth simulation is a fundamental computational problem in computer graphics and computational design. Coarse cloth models provide the interactive performance required by designers, but they can not be simulated at higher resolutions […]

Fast Stabilization of Inducible Magnet Simulation

Seung-wook Kim, JungHyun Han This paper presents a novel method for simulating inducible rigid magnets efficiently and stably. In the proposed method, inducible magnets are magnetized by a modified magnetization dynamics, so that the magnetic equilibrium can be obtained in a computationally efficient manner. Furthermore, our model of magnetic forces takes magnetization change into account […]

Isotropic ARAP energy using Cauchy-Green invariants

Huancheng Lin, Floyd M. Chitalu, Taku Komura Isotropic As-Rigid-As-Possible (ARAP) energy has been popular for shape editing, mesh parametrisation and soft-body simulation for almost two decades. However, a formulation using Cauchy-Green (CG) invariants has always been unclear, due to a rotation-polluted trace term that cannot be directly expressed using these invariants. We show how this […]

Shape from Release: Inverse Design and Fabrication of Controlled Release Structures

Julian Panetta, Haleh Mohammadian, Emiliano Luci, Vahid Babaei Objects with different shapes can dissolve in significantly different ways inside a solution. Predicting different shapes’ dissolution dynamics is an important problem especially in pharmaceutics. More important and challenging, however, is controlling the dissolution via shape, \ie, designing shapes that lead to a desired release behavior of […]

Simulation of Hand Anatomy Using Medical Imaging

Mianlun Zheng*, Bohan Wang*, Jingtao Huang, Jernej Barbič (*joint first authors) Precision modeling of the hand internal musculoskeletal anatomy has been largely limited to individual poses, and has not been connected into continuous volumetric motion of the hand anatomy actuating across the hand’s entire range of motion. This is for a good reason, as hand […]
