Since the first edition of this book in 2007, there has been a fast evolution in Virtual Reality.
Palmer Luckey designed a prototype for what would become the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality …

In this paper, we present an approach for fast subspace integration of reduced-coordinate
nonlinear deformable models that is suitable for interactive applications in computer …

An ambitious goal in the area of physics-based computer animation is the creation of virtual
actors that autonomously synthesize realistic human motions and possess a broad …

This article describes a 2D and 3D simulation engine that quantitatively models the statics,
dynamics, and nonlinear deformation of heterogeneous soft bodies in a computationally …

We propose a virtual node algorithm that allows material to separate along arbitrary
(possibly branched) piecewise linear paths through a mesh. The material within an element …

This paper presents a framework for the skeleton-driven animation of elastically deformable
characters. A character is embedded in a coarse volumetric control lattice, which provides …

We present the" Cartoon Animation Filter", a simple filter that takes an arbitrary input motion
signal and modulates it in such a way that the output motion is more" alive" or" animated" …

Spring meshes have been used to model elastic material in computer graphics, with skin,
textiles, and soft tissue being typical applications. A spring mesh is a system of vertices and …

We present a novel, variational and statistical approach for shape registration. Shapes of
interest are implicitly embedded in a higher-dimensional space of distance transforms. In …
