Super-Resolution Cloth Animation with Spatial and Temporal Coherence

Jiawang Yu, Zhendong Wang Creating super-resolution cloth animations, which refine coarse cloth meshes with fine wrinkle details, faces challenges in preserving spatial consistency and temporal coherence across frames. In this paper, we introduce a general framework to address these issues, leveraging two core modules. The first module interleaves a simulator and a corrector. The simulator […]

Neural-Assisted Homogenization of Yarn-Level Cloth

Xudong Feng, Huamin Wang, Yin Yang, Weiwei Xu Real-world fabrics, composed of threads and yarns, often display complex stress-strain relationships, making their homogenization a challenging task for fast simulation by continuum-based models. Consequently, existing homogenized yarn-level models frequently struggle with numerical stability without line search at large time steps, forcing a trade-off between model accuracy […]

Modelling a feather as a strongly anisotropic elastic shell

Jean Jouve, Victor Romero, Rahul Narain, Laurence Boissieux, Theodore Kim, Florence Bertails-Descoubes Feathers exhibit a highly anisotropic behaviour, governed by their complex hierarchical microstructure composed of individual hairs (barbs) clamped onto a spine (rachis) and attached to each other through tiny hooks (barbules). Previous methods in computer graph- ics have approximated feathers as strips of […]

Merci: Mixed curvature-based elements for computing equilibria of thin elastic ribbons

Raphaël Charrondière, Sébastien Neukirch, Florence Bertails-Descoubes Thin elastic ribbons represent a class of intermediary objects lying in-between thin elastic plates and thin elastic rods. Although the two latter families of thin structures have received much interest from the Computer Graphics community over the last decades, ribbons have seldom been considered and modelled numerically so far, […]

Lagrangian Covector Fluid with Free Surface

Zhiqi Li, Barnabás Börcsök, Duowen Chen, Yutong Sun, Bo Zhu, Greg Turk, This paper introduces a novel Lagrangian fluid solver based on covector flow maps. We aim to address the challenges of establishing a robust flow-map solver for incompressible fluids under complex boundary conditions. Our key idea is to use particle trajectories to establish precise […]

Stabler Neo-Hookean Simulation: Absolute Eigenvalue Filtering for Projected Newton

Honglin Chen, Hsueh-Ti Derek Liu, David I.W. Levin, Changxi Zheng, Alec Jacobson Volume-preserving hyperelastic materials are widely used to model near-incompressible materials such as rubber and soft tissues. However, the numerical simulation of volume-preserving hyperelastic materials is notoriously challenging within this regime due to the non-convexity of the energy function. In this work, we identify […]

Eulerian-Lagrangian Fluid Simulation on Particle Flow Maps

Junwei Zhou, Duowen Chen, Molin Deng, Yitong Deng, Yuchen Sun, Sinan Wang, Shiying Xiong, Bo Zhu We propose a novel Particle Flow Map (PFM) method to enable accurate long-range advection for incompressible fluid simulation. The foundation of our method is the observation that a particle trajectory generated in a forward simulation naturally embodies a perfect […]

Contact detection between curved fibres: high order makes a difference

Octave Crespel , Emile Hohnadel, Thibaut Métivet, Florence Bertails-Descoubes Computer Graphics has a long history in the design of effective algorithms for handling contact and friction between solid objects. For the sake of simplicity, most methods rely on low-order primitives such as line segments or triangles, both for the detection and the response stages. In […]

Position-Based Nonlinear Gauss-Seidel for Quasistatic Hyperelasticity

Yizhou Chen, Yushan Han, Jingyu Chen, Joseph Teran Position based dynamics is a powerful technique for simulating a variety of materials. Its primary strength is its robustness when run with limited computational budget. We develop a novel approach to address problems with PBD for quasistatic hyperelastic materials. Even though PBD is based on the projection […]

A Framework for Solving Parabolic Partial Differential Equations on Discrete Domains

Leticia Mattos Da Silva, Oded Stein, Justin Solomon We introduce a framework for solving a class of parabolic partial differential equations on triangle mesh surfaces, including the Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the Fokker-Planck equation. PDE in this class often have nonlinear or stiff terms that cannot be resolved with standard methods on curved triangle meshes. To […]
