Realistic hair modeling is a fundamental part of creating virtual humans in computer
graphics. This paper surveys the state of the art in the major topics of hair modeling …

Designing the layouts and simulating the assembly of cables are based on flexible cable
modeling technology. In this paper, we review the methods used to model deformable cable …

Thoroughly revised, this third edition focuses on modern techniques used to generate
synthetic three-dimensional images in a fraction of a second. With the advent of …

Physically based deformable models have been widely embraced by the Computer
Graphics community. Many problems outlined in a previous survey by Gibson and Mirtich …

Robotic manipulation of deformable linear objects (DLOs) is important in many applications
such as the assembly of deformable wire harnesses and cables in manufacturing. Despite …

We present a weakly compressible form of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics method
(SPH) for fluid flow based on the Tait equation. In contrast to commonly employed projection …

The typical elastic surface or curve simulation method takes a Lagrangian approach and
consists of three components: time integration, collision detection and collision response …

Strandsare thin elastic solids that are visually well approximated as smooth curves, and yet
possess essential physical behaviors characteristic of solid objects such as twisting …

Virtual Humans provides a much-needed definition of what constitutes a 'virtual human'and
places virtual humans within the wider context of Artificial Intelligence development. It …

Simulating human hair is recognized as one of the most difficult tasks in computer animation.
In this paper, we show that the Kirchhoff equations for dynamic, inextensible elastic rods can …
