Long-take touring (LTT) shots are characterized by smooth camera motion over a long distance that seamlessly connects different views of the captured scene. These shots offer a compelling way to visualize 3D spaces. However, filming LTT shots directly is very ...

Multi-view mesh reconstruction has long been a challenging problem in graphics and computer vision. In contrast to recent volumetric rendering methods that generate meshes through post-processing, we propose an end-to-end mesh optimization approach called IMLS...

We present GenAnalysis, an implicit shape generation framework that allows joint analysis of man-made shapes, including shape matching and joint shape segmentation. The key idea is to enforce an as-affine-as-possible (AAAP) deformation between synthetic shapes...

Physically based differentiable rendering has established itself as key to inverse rendering, in which scenes are recovered from images through gradient-based optimization. Taking the derivative of the rendering equation is made difficult by the presence of di...

Oculoplastic surgery is a critical treatment for various eye conditions, such as ptosis, which can cause both aesthetic and functional issues. Due to the anxiety about the outcome, patients are often hesitant to undergo the necessary procedures required for th...

Heterogeneous surfaces exhibit spatially varying geometry and material, and therefore admit diverse appearances. Existing computer graphics works can only model heterogeneity using explicit structures or statistical parameters that describe a coarser level of ...

Inverse rendering has emerged as a standard tool to reconstruct the parameters of appearance models from images (e.g., textured BSDFs). In this work, we present several novel contributions motivated by the practical challenges of recovering high-resolution sur...

The Material Point Method (MPM) has become a cornerstone of physics-based simulation, widely used in geomechanics and computer graphics for modeling phenomena such as granular flows, viscoelasticity, fracture mechanics, etc. Despite its versatility, the origin...

Eigenanalysis of differential operators, such as the Laplace operator or elastic energy Hessian, is typically restricted to a single shape and its discretization, limiting reduced order modeling (ROM). We introduce the first eigenanalysis method for continuous...

We present a vorticity method for simulating incompressible viscous flows on curved surfaces governed by the Navier-Stokes equations. Unlike previous approaches, our formulation incorporates the often-overlooked Gaussian-curvature-dependent term in the viscous...

Barrier potentials gained popularity as a means for robust contact handling in physical modeling and for modeling self-avoiding shapes. The key to the success of these approaches is adherence to geometric constraints, i.e., avoiding intersections, which are th...

Optical heterodyne detection (OHD) employs coherent light and optical interference techniques (Fig. 1-(A)) to extract physical parameters, such as velocity or distance, which are encoded in the frequency modulation of the light. With its superior signal-to-noi...

We introduce Arenite, a novel physics-based approach for modeling sandstone structures. The key insight of our work is that simulating a combination of stress and multi-factor erosion enables the generation of a wide variety of sandstone structures observed in...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to refine 3D shape correspondences by leveraging multi-layer perceptions within the framework of functional maps. Central to our contribution is the concept of Neural Adjoint Maps , a novel neural representation that ...

Self-intersection repair in static 3D surface meshes presents unique challenges due to the absence of temporal motion and penetration depth information—two critical elements typically leveraged in physics-based approaches. We introduce a novel framework that t...

Recent advances in cloud rendering have brought us a promising alternative for interactive photorealistic rendering on lightweight devices, which used to be only available on high-end platforms equipped with powerful graphic cards. This technique enables users...

Selection is the first step in many image editing processes, enabling faster and simpler modifications of all pixels sharing a common modality. In this work, we present a method for material selection in images, robust to lighting and reflectance variations, w...

Mesh reduction using quadric error metrics is the industry standard for producing level-of-detail (LOD) geometry for meshes. Although industry tools produce visually excellent LODs, mesh topology is often ruined during decimation. This is because tools focus o...

The past few years have witnessed an emergent interest in building generative models for the graphic design domain. For adoption of powerful deep generative models with Transformer-based neural backbones, prior approaches formulate designs as ordered sequences...
