We propose a data-driven method to realize high quality detailed hair animations in interactive applications like games. By devising an error metric method to evaluate hair animation similarities, we take hair features into consideration as much as possible. We also propose a novel database construc … Continue reading “Data-Driven Detailed Hair Animation for Game Characters”

Controlling the Shape and Motion of Plumes in Explosion Simulations
We propose a fluid simulation method with controlling the shape and motion of rising fire and smoke, called plumes, in the incompressible phase of explosion phenomenon. With our method, plumes are generated based on physical phenomenon called entrainment, which strongly characterizes plume behaviors … Continue reading “Controlling the Shape and Motion of Plumes in Explosion Simulations”
GPU-based Adaptive Surface Reconstruction for Real-time SPH Fluids
We propose a GPU-based adaptive surface reconstruction algorithm for Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) fluids. The adaptive surface is reconstructed from 3-level grids as proposed by [Akinci13]. The novel part of our algorithm is a pattern based approach for crack filling, which is recognized as … Continue reading “GPU-based Adaptive Surface Reconstruction for Real-time SPH Fluids”
Procedural Fluid Modeling of Explosion Phenomena Based on Physical Properties
We propose a method to procedurally model the fluid flows of explosion phenomena by taking physical properties into account. Explosion flows are always quite difficult to control, because they easily disturb each other and change rapidly. With this method, the target flows are described by control p … Continue reading “Procedural Fluid Modeling of Explosion Phenomena Based on Physical Properties”
A Fast and Practical Method for Animating Particle-Based Viscoelastic Fluids
This research proposes a practical technique for fast animation of materials such as viscoelastic fluids. A fast animation of such materials is desperately desirable especially for real-time applications such as games. We compute the behavior of viscoelastic fluids approximately instead of the exact … Continue reading “A Fast and Practical Method for Animating Particle-Based Viscoelastic Fluids”
Controllable Deformable Animations
There is a crucial demand in the computer animation industry to make animations that blend animator-specified expressive motion with physics-based realism. We propose a novel framework to create directable animation of elastically deformable objects. The directable animation is created with animator … Continue reading “Controllable Deformable Animations”
Interactive Physically-based Animation for Dense Meshes
In this paper we describe an interactive physically-based animation system for dense meshes. Our method extracts a coarse mesh from an original mesh to make a tetrahedral mesh for the reduction of computational costs. For computing reaction forces we precompute penetration depth values and gradients … Continue reading “Interactive Physically-based Animation for Dense Meshes”
