As computers become computationally more powerful, the gap between virtual and physical reality is continuously diminishing. Striving for increased accuracy, computer simulations are becoming more and more specialized by the day - but are less capable of generalization. There is currently no comprehensive physically-based simulation approach for real-time animation of deformable objects within one...
In this article, we propose a physically based novel scheme on the bubble creation. By the scheme, the phase change of the liquid-gas interaction and the effect of volume expansion are simulated by altering the divergence of the velocity field. Because of the little mass of the gas and the great difference in density between liquid and vapor, the volume of the liquid is considered to be constant....
We present a novel technique for real-timely rendering translucent objects. Our technique is mainly based on translucent shadow maps with a new adaptive sampling strategy. In this sampling strategy, the hierarchy levels and positions for sampling are selected according to the size of target object. By our optimization, less storage in the texture is required than that in previous methods. Compared...
Summary form only given. The National Science Foundation (NSF) provided approximately $27 million in Fiscal Year 2008 for fundamental research and education in nanomanufacturing in the United States, mostly to colleges and universities, with some support provided to small businesses. The core Nanomanufacturing Program emphasizes scale-up of nanotechnology to increase the production rate, reliability,...
