Fredrik Kjolstad, Shoaib Kamil Jonathan Ragan-Kelley, David I.W. Levin,Shinjiro Sueda, Desai Chen, Etienne Vouga, Danny M. Kaufman, Gurtej Kanwar,Wojciech Matusik, and Saman Amarasinghe Using existing programming tools, writing high-performance simulation code is labor intensive and requires sacrificing readability and portability. The alternative is to prototype simulations in a high-level language like Matlab, thereby sacrificing performance. […]

Eder Miguel, David Miraut, Miguel A. Otaduy In this paper, we present a method to model hyperelasticity that is well suited for representing the nonlinearity of real-world objects, as well as for estimating it from deformation examples. Previous approaches suffer several limitations, such as lack of integrability of elastic forces, failure to enforce energy convexity, […]

Gerard Pons-Moll, Javier Romero, Naureen Mahmood, and Michael J. Black To look human, digital full-body avatars need to have soft tissue deformations like those of real people. Current methods for physics simulation of soft tissue lack realism, are computationally expensive, or are hard to tune. Learning soft tissue motion from example, however, has been limited […]

Zherong Pan, Hujun Bao, Jin Huang In this paper, we propose a full featured and efficient subspace simulation method in the rotation-strain (RS) space for elastic objects. Sharply different from previous methods using the rotation-strain space, except for the ability to handle non-linear elastic materials and external forces, our method correctly formulates the kinetic energy, […]
