A new sharp-crease bending element for folding and wrinkling surfaces and volumes Real-Time Dynamic Wrinkling of Coarse Animated Cloth Fully Momentum-Conserving Reduced Deformable Bodies with Collision, Contact, Articulation, and Skinning Efficient Simulation of Knitted Cloth Using Persistent Contacts Multifarious Hierarchies of Mechanical Models for Artist Assigned Level-of-Detail […]

Nathan Mitchell, Court Cutting, Eftychios Sifakis We present an interactive simulation framework for authoring surgical procedures of soft tissue manipulation using physics-based simulation to animate the flesh. This interactive authoring tool can be used by clinical educators to craft three-dimensional illustrations of the intricate maneuvers involved in craniofacial repairs, in contrast to two-dimensional sketches and still photographs which are the medium […]

Xinxin Zhang, Robert Bridson, Chen Greif Most visual effects fluid solvers use a time-splitting approach where velocity is first advected in the flow, then projected to be incompressible with pressure. Even if a highly accurate advection scheme is used, the self-advection step typically transfers some kinetic energy from divergence-free modes into divergent modes, which are […]

It’s my favourite time of the year. Stay tuned for more simulation paper links as they appear. As usual, see Ke-Sen Huang’s page for the full list.

Nobuyuki Umetani, Ryan Schmidt, Jos Stam We present a novel method to simulate complex bending and twisting of elastic rods. Elastic rods are commonly simulated using force based methods, such as the finite element method. These methods are accurate, but do not directly fit into the more efficient position-based dynamics framework, since the definition of […]
