The large-scale mechanical behavior of woven cloth is determined by the mechanical
properties of the yarns, the weave pattern, and frictional contact between yarns. Using …

We present a computational tool for fabrication-oriented design of flexible rod meshes.
Given a deformable surface and a set of deformed poses as input, our method automatically …

Elastic rods produce complex nonlinear motion and are essential for animating thin strands
such as hairs and ropes. However their simulation using Position-Based Dynamics …

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 and versatility, most …

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 …

Tool paths defined by G01/G02/G03 commands need to be smoothed to eliminate the
discontinuities of velocity, acceleration and jerk at the junction points. Because of inherent …

We introduce a selected set of protocols inspired from the Soft Matter Physics community in
order to validate Computer Graphics simulators of slender elastic structures possibly subject …

We present a novel system for the interactive modeling of developmental climbing plants
with an emphasis on efficient control and plausible physics response. A plant is represented …

We present a novel method for the combustion of botanical tree models. Tree models are
represented as connected particles for the branching structure and a polygonal surface …

We propose a robust and efficient numerical model to compute stable equilibrium
configurations of clamped elastic ribbons featuring arbitrarily curved natural shapes. Our …
