3D creation has always been a unique human strength, driven by our ability to deconstruct and reassemble objects using our eyes, mind and hand. However, current 3D design tools struggle to replicate this natural process, requiring considerable artistic experti...

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 ...

We introduce Parth, a fill-reducing ordering method for sparse Cholesky solvers with dynamic sparsity patterns (e.g., in physics simulations with contact or geometry processing with local remeshing). Parth facilitates the selective reuse of fill-reducing order...

As AR/VR systems evolve to demand increasingly powerful GPUs, physically separating compute from display hardware emerges as a natural approach to enable a lightweight, comfortable form factor. Unfortunately, splitting the system into a client-server architect...
