Adaptive anisotropic remeshing for cloth simulation
R Narain, A Samii, JF O'brien - ACM transactions on graphics (TOG), 2012 - dl.acm.org
We present a technique for cloth simulation that dynamically refines and coarsens triangle
meshes so that they automatically conform to the geometric and dynamic detail of the …

Augmented MPM for phase-change and varied materials
In this paper, we introduce a novel material point method for heat transport, melting and
solidifying materials. This brings a wider range of material behaviors into reach of the …
