Mecklenburg, Robert | STORY: A hierarchical animation and storyboarding system for alpha-1 | We introduce an integrated animation and storyboarding system that simplifies the creation and refinement of computer generated animations. The framework models both the process and product of an animated sequence, making animation more accessible for communication and as an art form. The system a... | STORY; storyboarding system; animation system; computer generated animations | 1993 |

Kopta, Daniel M.; Kensler, Andrew Erin; Spjut, Josef Bo; Brunvand, Erik L.; Davis, Al | Fast, effective BVH updates for dynamic ray-traced scenes using tree rotations | Bounding volume hierarchies are a popular choice for ray tracing animated scenes due to the relative simplicity of refitting bounding volumes around moving geometry. However, the quality of such a refitted tree can degrade rapidly if objects in the scene deform or rearrange significantly as the ... | Ray tracing; Acceleration structures; Bounding volume hierarchies; Tree rotations; Dynamic scenes; Parallel update | 2011 |

Bargteil, Adam Wade | Dynamic sprites | Traditional methods for creating dynamic objects and characters from static drawings involve careful tweaking of animation curves and/or simulation parameters. Sprite sheets offer a more drawing-centric solution, but they do not encode timing information or the logic that determines how objects shou... | | 2014-01-01 |

Hansen, Charles D. | Design of 2D time-varying vector fields | Design of time-varying vector fields, i.e., vector fields that can change over time, has a wide variety of important applications in computer graphics. Existing vector field design techniques do not address time-varying vector fields. In this paper, we present a framework for the design of time-vary... | | 2012-01-01 |

Parke, Frederic Ira | A parametric model for human faces | This report presents a computer model for the representation of human faces. This three-dimensional, parametric model produces shaded facial images. The face, constructed of polygonal surfaces, is manipulated through the use of parameters which control interpolation, translation, rotation and scalin... | Parametric model; Human face | 1975 |

Peterson, John W. | Distributed computation for computer animation | Computer animation is a very computationally intensive task. Recent developments in image synthesis, such as shadows, reflections and motion blur enhance the quality of computer animation, but also dramatically increase the amount of CPU time needed to do it. Fortunately, the computations involved w... | Distributed computation | 1987 |

Thulasinathan, Aravindan; Pascucci, Valerio; Tierny, Julien | Topology Based Surface Meshing and Morphing | Morphing is a seamless transition from one image to the other, used in animation and motion pictures. Mesh Parameterization used in this process is a fundamental tool used for domain remeshing. In case of 2-manifolds for example, most approaches require that the input mesh be cut into one or mor... | | 2010-10-06 |

Bargteil, Adam Wade | Strain limiting for clustered shape matching | In this paper, we advocate explicit symplectic Euler integration and strain limiting in a shape matching simulation framework. The resulting approach resembles not only previous work on shape matching and strain limiting, but also the recently popular position-based dynamics. However, unlike this pr... | | 2014-01-01 |

Bargteil, Adam Wade | Multiphase flow of immiscible fluids on unstructured moving meshes | In this paper, we present a method for animating multiphase flow of immiscible fluids using unstructured moving meshes. Our underlying discretization is an unstructured tetrahedral mesh, the deformable simplicial complex (DSC), that moves with the flow in a Lagrangian manner. Mesh optimization opera... | | 2014-01-01 |

Tasdizen, Tolga; Whitaker, Ross T. | Particle-based simulation of fluids | Due to our familiarity with how fluids move and interact, as well as their complexity, plausible animation of fluids remains a challenging problem. We present a particle interaction method for simulating fluids. The underlying equations of fluid motion are discretized using moving particles and th... | | 2003 |
