Abstract: International audience; We present a new method for first person sketch-based editing of terrain models. As in usual artistic pictures, the input sketch depicts complex silhouettes with cusps and T-junctions, which typically correspond to non-planar curves in 3D. After analysing depth constraints in the sketch based on perceptual cues, our method best matches the sketched silhouettes with silhouettes or ridges of the input terrain. A specific deformation algorithm is then applied to the terrain, enabling it to exactly match the sketch from the given perspective view, while insuring that none of the user-defined silhouettes is hidden by another part of the terrain. As our results show, this method enables users to easily personalize an existing terrain, while preserving its plausibility and style.

Abstract: International audience; We present a novel framework for acquisition and reconstruction of 3D curves using orientations provided by inertial sensors. While the idea of sensor shape reconstruction is not new, we present the first method for creating well-connected networks with cell complex topology using only orientation and distance measurements and a set of user- defined constraints. By working directly with orientations, our method robustly resolves problems arising from data inconsistency and sensor noise. Although originally designed for reconstruction of physical shapes, the framework can be used for “sketching” new shapes directly in 3D space. We test the performance of the method using two types of acquisition devices: a standard smartphone, and a custom-made device.

Abstract: The paper was presented at Siggraph 2017; International audience; We introduce a novel framework for interactive landscape authoring that supports bi-directional feedback between erosion and vegetation simulation. Vegetation and terrain erosion have strong mutual impact and their interplay innuences the overall realism of virtual scenes. Despite their importance, these complex interactions have been neglected in computer graphics. Our framework overcomes this by simulating the eeect of a variety of geomor-phological agents and the mutual interaction between diierent material and vegetation layers, including rock, sand, humus, grass, shrubs, and trees. Users are able to exploit these interactions with an authoring interface that consistently shapes the terrain and populates it with details. Our method, validated through side-by-side comparison with real terrains, can be used not only to generate realistic static landscapes, but also to follow the temporal evolution of a landscape over a few centuries.

Abstract: International audience; Complex vector drawings serve as convenient and expressive visual representations, but they remain difficult to edit or manipulate. For clean-line vector drawings of smooth organic shapes, we describe a method to automatically extract a layered structure for the drawn object from the current or nearby viewpoints. The layers correspond to salient regions of the drawing, which are often naturally associated to 'parts' of the underlying shape. We present a method that automatically extracts salient structure, organized as parts with relative depth orderings, from clean-line vector drawings of smooth organic shapes. Our method handles drawings that contain complex internal contours with T-junctions indicative of occlusions, as well as internal curves that may either be expressive strokes or substructures. To extract the structure, we introduce a new part-aware metric for complex 2D drawings, the radial variation metric, which is used to identify salient sub-parts. These sub-parts are then considered in a priority-ordered fashion, which enables us to identify and recursively process new shape parts while keeping track of Permission to make digital their relative depth ordering. The output is represented in terms of scalable vector graphics layers, thereby enabling meaningful editing and manipulation. We evaluate the method on multiple input drawings and show that the structure we compute is convenient for subsequent posing and animation from nearby viewpoints.

Abstract: International audience; Mechanical devices are ubiquitous in our daily lives, and the motion they are able to transmit is often a critical part of their function. While digital fabrication devices facilitate their realization, motion-driven mechanism design remains a challenging task. We take drawing machines as a case study in exploratory design. Devices such as the Spirograph can generate intricate patterns from an assembly of simple mechanical elements. Trying to control and customize these patterns, however, is particularly hard, especially when the number of parts increases. We propose a novel constrained exploration method that enables a user to easily explore feasible drawings by directly indicating pattern preferences at different levels of control. The user starts by selecting a target pattern with the help of construction lines and rough sketching, and then fine-tunes it by prescribing geometric features of interest directly on the drawing. The designed pattern can then be directly realized with an easy-to-fabricate drawing machine. The key technical challenge is to facilitate the exploration of the high dimensional configuration space of such fabricable machines. To this end, we propose a novel method that dynamically reparameterizes the local configuration space and allows the user to move continuously between pattern variations, while preserving user-specified feature constraints.We tested our framework on several examples, conducted a user study, and fabricated a sample of the designed examples.

Abstract: International audience; Most mountain ranges are formed by the compression and folding of colliding tectonic plates. Subduction of one plate causes large-scale asymmetry while their layered composition (or stratigraphy) explains the multi-scale folded strata observed on real terrains. We introduce a novel interactive modeling technique to generate visually plausible, large scale terrains that capture these phenomena. Our method draws on both geological knowledge for consistency and on sculpting systems for user interaction. The user is provided hands-on control on the shape and motion of tectonic plates, represented using a new geologically-inspired model for the Earth crust. The model captures their volume preserving and complex folding behaviors under collision, causing mountains to grow. It generates a volumetric uplift map representing the growth rate of subsurface layers. Erosion and uplift movement are jointly simulated to generate the terrain. The stratigraphy allows us to render folded strata on eroded cliffs. We validated the usability of our sculpting interface through a user study, and compare the visual consistency of the earth crust model with geological simulation results and real terrains.

Abstract: International audience; We present the first sketch-based modeling method for developable surfaces with pre-designed folds, such as garments or leather products. The main challenge we address for building folded surfaces from sketches is that silhouette strokes on the sketch correspond to discontinuous sets of non-planar curves on the 3D model. We introduce a new zippering algorithm for progressively identifying silhouette edges on the model and tying them to silhouette strokes. Our solution ensures that the strokes are fully covered and optimally sampled by the model. This new method, interleaved with developability optimization steps, is implemented in a multi-view sketching system where the user can sketch the contours of internal folds in addition to the usual silhouettes, borders and seam lines. All strokes are interpreted as hard constraints, while developability is only optimized. The developability error map we provide then enables users to add local seams or darts where needed and progressively improve their design. This makes our method robust even to coarse input, for which no fully developable solution exists.

8. Deformation Grammars: Hierarchical Constraint Preservation Under Deformation

Abstract: International audience; Deformation grammars are a novel procedural framework enabling to sculpt hierarchical 3D models in an object-dependent manner. They process object deformations as symbols thanks to user-defined interpretation rules. We use them to define hierarchical deformation behaviors tailored for each model, and enabling any sculpting gesture to be interpreted as some adapted constraint-preserving deformation. A variety of object-specific constraints can be enforced using this framework, such as maintaining distributions of sub-parts, avoiding self-penetrations, or meeting semantic-based user-defined rules. The operations used to maintain constraints are kept transparent to the user, enabling them to focus on their design. We demonstrate the feasibility and the versatility of this approach on a variety of examples, implemented within an interactive sculpting system.

Abstract: An important problem in computer animation of virtual characters is the expression of complex mental states during conversation using the coordinated prosody of voice, rhythm, facial expressions, and head and gaze motion. In this work, the authors propose an expressive conversion method for generating natural speech and facial animation in a variety of recognizable attitudes, using neutral speech and animation as input. Their method works by automatically learning prototypical prosodic contours at the sentence level from an original dataset of dramatic attitudes.

Abstract: International audience; This paper introduces a new method for real-time shape sensing. Using a single inertial measurement unit (IMU), our method enables to scan physical objects and to reconstruct digital 3D models. By moving the IMU along the surface, a network of local orientation data is acquired together with traveled distances and network topology. We then reconstruct a consistent network of curves and fit these curves by a globally smooth surface. To demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, we have constructed a mobile device called the Morphorider, which is equipped with a 3A3M-sensor node and an odometer for distance tracking.

Abstract: International audience; Developable materials are ubiquitous in design and manufacturing. Unfortunately, general-purpose modeling tools are not suited to modeling 3D objects composed of developable parts. We propose an interactive tool to model such objects from a photograph. Users of our system load a single picture of the object they wish to model, which they annotate to indicate silhouettes and part boundaries. Assuming that the object is symmetric, we also ask users to provide a few annotations of symmetric correspondences. The object is then automatically reconstructed in 3D. At the core of our method is an algorithm to infer the 2D projection of rulings of a developable surface from the traced silhouettes and boundaries. We impose that the surface normal is constant along each ruling, which is a necessary property for the surface to be developable. We complement these developability constraints with symmetry constraints to lift the curve network in 3D. In addition to a 3D model, we output 2D patterns enabling to fabricate real prototypes of the object on the photo. This makes our method well suited for reverse engineering products made of leather, bent cardboard or metal sheets.

Abstract: International audience; We propose a bi-layer representation for textures which is suitable for on-the-fly synthesis of unbounded textures from an input exemplar. The goal is to improve the variety of outputs while preserving plausible small-scale details. The insight is that many natural textures can be decomposed into a series of fine scale Gaussian patterns which have to be faithfully reproduced, and some non-homogeneous, larger scale structure which can be deformed to add variety. Our key contribution is a novel, bi-layer representation for such textures. It includes a model for spatially-varying Gaussian noise, together with a mechanism enabling synchronization with a structure layer. We propose an automatic method to instantiate our bi-layer model from an input exemplar. At the synthesis stage, the two layers are generated independently, synchronized and added, preserving the consistency of details even when the structure layer has been deformed to increase variety. We show on a variety of complex, real textures, that our method reduces repetition artifacts while preserving a coherent appearance.

We further introduce a new hybrid geometrical and physical-based method to compute the trajectory of tears while procedurally synthesizing high resolution details of the tearing path using a texture based approach. The results obtained are compared with real paper and with previous studies on the expected geometric paths of paper that tears.

Abstract: This paper was presented at the Eurographics 2017 conference; International audience; One challenge in portraying large-scale natural scenes in virtual environments is specifying the attributes of plants, such as species, size and placement, in a way that respects the features of natural ecosystems, while remaining computationally tractable and allowing user design. To address this, we combine ecosystem simulation with a distribution analysis of the resulting plant attributes to create biome-specific databases, indexed by terrain conditions, such as temperature, rainfall, sunlight and slope. For a specific terrain, interpolated entries are drawn from this database and used to interactively synthesize a full ecosystem, while retaining the fidelity of the original simulations. A painting interface supplies users with semantic brushes for locally adjusting ecosystem age, plant density and variability, as well as optionally picking from a palette of precomputed distributions. Since these brushes are keyed to the underlying terrain properties a balance between user control and real-world consistency is maintained. Our system can be be used to interactively design ecosystems up to 5 × 5 km 2 in extent, or to automatically generate even larger ecosystems in a fraction of the time of a full simulation, while demonstrating known properties from plant ecology such as succession, self-thinning, and underbrush, across a variety of biomes.

Abstract: International audience; Recordings of stage performances are easy to capture with a high-resolution camera, but are difficult to watch because the actors' faces are too small. We present an approach to automatically create a split screen video that transforms these recordings to show both the context of the scene as well as close-up details of the actors. Given a static recording of a stage performance and tracking information about the actors positions, our system generates videos showing a focus+context view based on computed close-up camera motions using crop-and zoom. The key to our approach is to compute these camera motions such that they are cinematically valid close-ups and to ensure that the set of views of the different actors are properly coordinated and presented. We pose the computation of camera motions as convex optimization that creates detailed views and smooth movements, subject to cinematic constraints such as not cutting faces with the edge of the frame. Additional constraints link the close up views of each actor, causing them to merge seamlessly when actors are close. Generated views are placed in a resulting layout that preserves the spatial relationships between actors. We demonstrate our results on a variety of staged theater and dance performances.

Abstract: International audience; Pretend play is a storytelling technique, naturally used from very young ages, which relies on object substitution to represent the characters of the imagined story. We propose "Make-believe", a system for making movies from pretend play by using 3D printed figurines as props. We capture the rigid motions of the figurines and the gestures and facial expressions of the storyteller using Kinect cameras and IMU sensors and transfer them to the virtual story-world. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate our system with an improvised story involving a prince and a witch, which was successfully recorded and transferred into 3D animation.

Abstract: International audience; Pretend play is a storytelling technique, naturally used from very young ages, which relies on object substitution to represent the characters of the imagined story. We propose a system which assists the storyteller by generating a virtualized story from a recorded dialogue performed with 3D printed figurines. We capture the gestures and facial expressions of the storyteller using Kinect cameras and IMU sensors and transfer them to their virtual counterparts in the story-world. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate our system with an improvised story involving a prince and a witch, which was successfully recorded and transferred into 3D animation.

Abstract: International audience; Transforming an arbitrary mesh into a smooth G1 surface has been the subject of intensive research works. To get a visual pleasing shape without any imperfection even in the presence of extraordinary mesh vertices is still a challenging problem in particular when interpolation of the mesh vertices is required. We present a new local method, which produces visually smooth shapes while solving the interpolation problem. It consists of combining low degree biquartic Bézier patches with minimum number of pieces per mesh face, assembled together with G1-continuity. All surface control points are given explicitly. The construction is local and free of zero-twists. We further show that within this economical class of surfaces it is however possible to derive a sufficient number of meaningful degrees of freedom so that standard optimization techniques result in high quality surfaces.

Abstract: International audience; A digital mock-up (DMU), with its B-Rep model of product components, is a standard industrial representation that lacks geometric information about interfaces between components. Component shapes reflect common engineering practices that influence component interfaces with interferences and not only contacts. The proposed approach builds upon relationships between function, behavior, and shape to derive functional information from the geometry of component interfaces. Among these concepts, the concept of behavior is more difficult to set up and connect to the geometry of interfaces and functions. Indeed, states and design rules are introduced to express the behavior of components through a qualitative reasoning process. This reasoning process, in turn, takes advantage of domain knowledge rules and facts, checking the validity of certain hypotheses that must hold true all along a specific state of the product's lifecycle, such as operational, stand-by or relaxed states. Eliminating configurations that contradict one or more of those hypotheses in their corresponding reference state reduces ambiguity, subsequently producing functional information in a bottom-up manner. This bottom-up process starts with the generation of a conventional interfaces graph (CIG) with components as nodes, and conventional interfaces (CIs) as arcs. A CI is initially defined by a geometric interaction that can be a contact or an interference between two components. CIs are then populated with functional interpretations (FIs) according to their geometric properties, producing potentially many combinations. A first step of the reasoning process, the validation against reference states, reduces the number of FIs per CI. Domain knowledge rules are then applied again to group semantics of component interfaces into one functional designation per component to connect together geometric entities of its boundary with its function.

Abstract: International audience; This paper presents a multilevel analysis of 2D shapes and uses it to find similarities between the different parts of a shape. Such an analysis is important for many applications such as shape comparison, editing, and compression. Our robust and stable method decomposes a shape into parts, determines a parts hierarchy, and measures similarity between parts based on a salience measure on the medial axis, the Weighted Extended Distance Function, providing a multi-resolution partition of the shape that is stable across scale and articulation. Comparison with an extensive user study on the MPEG-7 database demonstrates that our geometric results are consistent with user perception.

Abstract: Sketching is one of the most natural ways to exchange ideas. It has been used by human beings since prehistory. Research has shown that human beings have an inherent ability to understand sketches. This is why sketch-based interfaces for 3D modeling are so appealing; creating and animating 3D shapes could become as simple as drawing with a tablet and a digital pen. The purpose of this tutorial is to explore the most important aspects of sketch-based modeling, from the preprocessing of sketch strokes to the problem of 3D reconstruction. We will first explain some aspects of how humans interpret sketches. The second part of the tutorial will be dedicated to the problem of filtering and processing strokes. Other parts of the tutorial will focus on the sketch-based modeling of curves and surfaces using multi-view and single-view sketches. Sketch-based modeling using prior-knowledge will be also discussed; this class of methods is particularly well adapted to the 3D reconstruction of complex shapes. The last part of the tutorial addresses sketch-based interfaces for editing 3D shapes.

Abstract: Recent surface acquisition technologies based on microsensors produce three-space tangential curve data which can be transformed into a network of space curves with surface normals. This paper addresses the problem of surfacing an arbitrary closed 3D curve network with given surface normals. Thanks to the normal vector input, the patch finding problem can be solved unambiguously and an initial piecewise smooth triangle mesh is computed. The input normals are propagated throughout the mesh. Together with the initial mesh, the propagated normals are used to compute mean curvature vectors. We then compute the final mesh as the solution of a new variational optimization method based on the mean curvature vectors. The intuition behind this original approach is to guide the standard Laplacian-based variational methods by the curvature information extracted from the input normals. The normal input increases shape fidelity and allows to achieve globally smooth and visually pleasing shapes. Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted HighlightsA method for surfacing curve networks with prescribed normals is presented.The method does not require an extra parameter to control the magnitude of normals.The key insight is the decoupling of normals from positions before the extrapolation.The resulting shapes are globally smooth and visually pleasing.The method is fully automatic, and, at the same time, simple to implement.

Abstract: International audience; We propose an interactive sculpting system for seamlessly editing pre-computed animations of liquid, without the need for any re-simulation. The input is a sequence of meshes without correspondences representing the liquid surface over time. Our method enables the efficient selection of consistent space-time parts of this animation, such as moving waves or droplets, which we call space-time features. Once selected, a feature can be copied, edited, or duplicated and then pasted back anywhere in space and time in the same or in another liquid animation sequence. Our method circumvents tedious user interactions by automatically computing the spatial and temporal ranges of the selected feature. We also provide space-time shape editing tools for non-uniform scaling, rotation, trajectory changes, and temporal editing to locally speed up or slow down motion. Using our tools, the user can edit and progressively refine any input simulation result, possibly using a library of pre-computed space-time features extracted from other animations. In contrast to the trial-and-error loop usually required to edit animation results through the tuning of indirect simulation parameters, our method gives the user full control over the edited space-time behaviors.

Abstract: International audience; Medial skeletons provide an effective alternative to boundary or volumetric representations for applications that focus on shape structure. This capability is provided by the skeletal structure, i.e., the curves and surfaces computed from centers of maximally inscribed balls by a process called structuration. Many several structuration methods exist, all having various challenges in terms of delivering a high-quality medial skeleton. This paper provides a first overview of existing structuration methods. We formally define the skeletal structure by giving its theoretical properties, and use these properties to propose quality criteria for structurations. We next review existing structuration methods and compare them using the established criteria. The obtained insights help both practitioners in choosing a suitable structuration method and researchers in further perfecting such methods.

Abstract: International audience; Our work on programmable animation texturing enhances the concept of texture mapping by letting artists stylize arbitraryanimations using elementary animations, instantiated at the scale of their choice. The core of our workflow resides in twocomponents: we first impose structure and temporal coherence over the animation data using a novel radius-based animationawareclustering. The computed clusters conform to the user-specified scale, and follow the underlying animation regardlessof its topology. Extreme mesh deformations, complex particle simulations, or simulated mesh animations with ever-changingtopology can therefore be handled in a temporally coherent way. Then, in analogy to fragment shaders that specify an outputcolor based on a texture and a collection of properties defined per vertex (position, texture coordinate, etc.), we provide aprogrammable interface to the user, letting him or her specify an output animation based on the collection of properties weextract per cluster (position, velocity, etc.). We equip elementary animations with a collection of parameters that are exposedin our programmable system and enables users to script the animated textures depending on properties of the input cluster. Wedemonstrate the power of our system with complex animated textures created with minimal user input.

Abstract: International audience; In this work we explore the capability of audiovisual parameters (such as voice frequency, rhythm, head motion or facial expressions) to discriminate among different dramatic attitudes. We extract the audiovisual parameters from an acted corpus of attitudes and structure them as frame, syllable, and sentence-level features. Using Linear Discriminant Analysis classifiers, we show that sentence-level features present a higher discriminating rate among the attitudes and are less dependent on the speaker than frame and sylable features. We also compare the classification results with the perceptual evaluation tests, showing that voice frequency is correlated to the perceptual results for all attitudes, while other features, such as head motion, contribute differently, depending both on the attitude and the speaker.

Abstract: International audience; In this article, we present the first method to generate plausible sounds while animating crumpling virtual paper in real time. Our method handles shape-dependent friction and crumpling sounds which typically occur when manipulating or creasing paper by hand. Based on a run-time geometric analysis of the deforming surface, we identify resonating regions characterizing the sound being produced. Coupled to a fast analysis of the surrounding elements, the sound can be efficiently spatialized to take into account nearby wall or table reflectors. Finally, the sound is synthesized in real time using a pre-recorded database of frequency- and time-domain sound sources. Our synthesized sounds are evaluated by comparing them to recordings for a specific set of paper deformations.

Abstract: International audience; Sketching is one of the most natural ways to exchange ideas. It has been used by human beings since prehistory. Research has shown that human beings have an inherent ability to understand sketches. This is why sketch-based interfaces for 3D modeling are so appealing; creating and animating 3D shapes could become as simple as drawing with a tablet and a digital pen. The purpose of this tutorial is to explore the most important aspects of sketch-based modeling, from the preprocessing of sketch strokes to the problem of 3D reconstruction. We will first explain some aspects of how humans interpret sketches. The second part of the tutorial will be dedicated to the problem of filtering and processing strokes. Other parts of the tutorial will focus on the sketch-based modeling of curves and surfaces using multi-view and single-view sketches. Sketch-based modeling using prior-knowledge will be also discussed; this class of methods is particularly well adapted to the 3D reconstruction of complex shapes. The last part of the tutorial addresses sketch-based interfaces for editing 3D shapes.

Abstract: International audience; Recent surface acquisition technologies based on microsensors produce three-space tangential curve data which can be transformed into a network of space curves with surface normals. This paper addresses the problem of surfacing an arbitrary closed 3D curve network with given surface normals.Thanks to the normal vector input, the patch finding problem can be solved unambiguously and an initial piecewise smooth triangle mesh is computed. The input normals are propagated throughout the mesh and used to compute mean curvature vectors. We then introduce a new variational optimization method in which the standard bi-Laplacian is penalized by a term based on the mean curvature vectors. The intuition behind this original approach is to guide the standard Laplacian-based variational methods by the curvature information extracted from the input normals. The normal input increases shape fidelity and allows to achieve globally smooth and visually pleasing shapes.

Abstract: International audience; At large scale, landscapes result from the combination of two major processes: tectonics which generate the main relief through crust uplift, and weather which accounts for erosion. This paper presents the first method in computer graphics that combines uplift and hydraulic erosion to generate visually plausible terrains. Given a user-painted uplift map, we generate a stream graph over the entire domain embedding elevation information and stream flow. Our approach relies on the stream power equation introduced in geology for hydraulic erosion. By combining crust uplift and stream power erosion we generate large realistic terrains at a low computational cost. Finally, we convert this graph into a digital elevation model by blending landform feature kernels whose parameters are derived from the information in the graph. Our method gives high-level control over the large scale dendritic structures of the resulting river networks, watersheds, and mountains ridges.

Abstract: In this paper we present the 2D Shape Structure database, a public, user-generated dataset of 2D shape decompositions into a hierarchy of shape parts with geometric relationships retained. It is the outcome of a large-scale user study obtained by crowdsourcing, involving over 1200 shapes in 70 shape classes, and 2861 participants. A total of 41,953 annotations has been collected with at least 24 annotations per shape. For each shape, user decompositions into main shape, one or more levels of parts, and a level of details are available. This database reinforces a philosophy that understanding shape structure as a whole, rather than in the separated categories of parts decomposition, parts hierarchy, and analysis of relationships between parts, is crucial for full shape understanding. We provide initial statistical explorations of the data to determine representative ("mean") shape annotations and to determine the number of modes in the annotations. The primary goal of the paper is to make this rich and complex database openly available (through the website http://2dshapesstructure.github.io/index.html), providing the shape community with a ground truth of human perception of holistic shape structure. Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted HighlightsOver 1200 shapes were annotated by 2861 users resulting in 41,953 annotated shapes.Each shape is decomposed into a main shape, levels of parts and a level of details.A majority vote shape, and a recommended number of modes for each shape are provided.The data is available at http://2dshapesstructure.github.io/index.html.

Abstract: International audience; Given a shape, a skeleton is a thin centered structure which jointly describes the topology and the geometry of the shape. Skeletons provide an alternative to classical boundary or volumetric representations, which is especially effective for applications where one needs to reason about, and manipulate, the structure of a shape. These skeleton properties make them powerful tools for many types of shape analysis and processing tasks. For a given shape, several skeleton types can be defined, each having its own properties, advantages, and drawbacks. Similarly, a large number of methods exist to compute a given skeleton type, each having its own requirements, advantages, and limitations. While using skeletons for two-dimensional (2D) shapes is a relatively well covered area, developments in the skeletonization of three-dimensional (3D) shapes make these tasks challenging for both researchers and practitioners. This survey presents an overview of 3D shape skeletonization. We start by presenting the definition and properties of various types of 3D skeletons. We propose a taxonomy of 3D skeletons which allows us to further analyze and compare them with respect to their properties. We next overview methods and techniques used to compute all described 3D skeleton types, and discuss their assumptions, advantages, and limitations. Finally, we describe several applications of 3D skeletons, which illustrate their added value for different shape analysis and processing tasks.

Abstract: International audience; We present an automatic method to build a layered vector graphics structure ready for animation from a clean-line vector drawing of an organic, smooth shape. Inspiring from 3D segmentation methods, we introduce a new metric computed on the medial axis of a region to identify and quantify the visual salience of a sub-region relative to the rest. This enables us to recursively separate each region into two closed sub-regions at the location of the most salient junction. The resulting structure, layered in depth, can be used to pose and animate the drawing using a regular 2D skeleton.

Abstract: National audience; Nous présentons une méthode pour générer en temps réel un son plausible pour une animation d'un papier virtuel que l'on froisse. Pour cela, nous analysons l'animation géométrique de la surface du papier pour détecter les événements à l'origine de sons puis calculons géométriquement les zones du papier qui vibrent de part la propagation des ondes au travers de la surface. Le son résultant est ensuite synthétisé à partir à la fois d'extraits pré-enregistrés, et d'une synthèse procédurale, tenant compte de la forme géométrique de la surface et de sa dynamique. Nous validons nos résultats en comparant le son généré par notre modèle virtuel par rapport à des enregistrements réels pour un ensemble de cas d'animations caractéristiques. Abstract In this article, we present a method to generate plausible sounds for an animation of crumpling paper in real-time. We analyse the geometrical animation of the deformed surface to detect sound-producing events and compute the regions which resonate due to the propagation of the vibrations though the paper. The resulting sound is synthesized from both pre-recorded sounds and procedural generation taking into account the geometry of the surface and its dynamic. Our results are validated by comparing the generated sound of the virtual model with respect to real recording for a set of specific deformations.

Abstract: International audience; Artists, animation and game designers are in demand for solutions to easily populate large virtual environments with crowds that satisfy desired visual features. This paper presents a method to intuitively populate virtual environments by specifying two key features: localized density, being the amount of agents per unit of surface, and localized flow, being the direction in which agents move through a unit of surface. The technique we propose is also time-independant, meaning that whatever the time in the animation, the resulting crowd satisfies both features. To achieve this, our approach relies on the Crowd Patches model. After discretizing the environment into regular patches and creating a graph that links these patches, an iterative optimization process computes the local changes to apply on each patch (increasing/reducing the number of agents in each patch, updating the directions of agents in the patch) in order to satisfy overall density and flow constraints. A specific stage is then introduced after each iteration to avoid the creation of local loops by using a global pathfinding process. As a result, the method has the capacity of generating large realistic crowds in minutes that endlessly satisfy both user specified densities and flow directions, and is robust to contradictory inputs. At last, to ease the design the method is implemented in an artist-driven tool through a painting interface.

Abstract: International audience; We present a phenomenological model for the real-time simulation of paper tearing and sound. The model uses as input rotations of the hand along with the index and thumb of left and right hands to drive the position and orientation of two regions of a sheet of paper. The motion of the hands produces a cone shaped deformation of the paper and guides the formation and growth of the tear. We create a model for the direction of the tear based on empirical observation, and add detail to the tear with a directed noise model. Furthermore, we present a procedural sound synthesis method to produce tearing sounds during interaction. We show a variety of paper tearing examples and discuss applications and limitations.

Abstract: In this paper we propose a method for the interactive detailed cutting of deformable thin sheets. Our method builds on the ability of frame-based simulation to solve for dynamics using very few control frames while embedding highly detailed geometry - here an adaptive mesh that accurately represents the cut boundaries. Our solution relies on a non-manifold grid to compute shape functions that faithfully adapt to the topological changes occurring while cutting. New frames are dynamically inserted to describe new regions. We provide incremental mechanisms for updating simulation data, enabling us to achieve interactive rates. We illustrate our method with examples inspired by the traditional Kirigami artform. Copyright is held by the owner/author(s).

Abstract: The wide availability of high-resolution 3D models and the facility to create new geometrical and animated content, using low-cost input devices, opens to many the possibility of becoming digital 3D storytellers. To date there is however a clear lack of accessible tools to easily create the cinematography (positioning and moving the cameras to create shots) and perform the editing of such stories (selecting appropriate cuts between the shots created by the cameras). Creating a movie requires the knowledge of a significant amount of empirical rules and established conventions. In particular continuity editing -- the creation of a sequence of shots ensuring visual continuity -- is a complex endeavor. Most 3D animation packages lack continuity editing tools, calling the need for automatic approaches that would, at least partially, support users in their creative process.In this thesis we address both challenges of automating cinematography and editing in virtual environments. In a first contribution we propose a system that relies on Reynolds' model of steering behaviors to control and locally coordinate a collection of camera agents in dynamic 3D environments. The second contribution consists of a novel optimization-based approach for automatically creating well-edited movies from a 3D animation. We propose an efficient solution through dynamic programming, by relying on a plausible semi-Markov assumption. The next contribution uses and extends our previous work to propose a novel importance-driven approach to cinematic replay that exploits both the narrative and geometric information in games to automatically compute camera paths and edits. Finally, our last contribution addresses camera control issues by constraining motion on camera rails to ensure realistic shots., La libre diffusion de modèles 3D de qualité ainsi que la mise à disposition de nombreux moyens facilitant la création de contenus animés ont permis de populariser la production d'oeuvres cinématographiques 3D. A l'heure actuelle, on peut cependant observer un manque important d'outils permettant de traiter la cinématographie (placement des caméras pour l'enregistrement des plans) et d'effectuer le montage de tels contenus (sélection des plans et transitions entre caméras). La création d'un film nécessite la connaissance d'un grand nombre de règles et de conventions. A travers cette thèse, nous proposons de nouvelles méthodes et de nouveaux outils permettant, au moins partiellement, d'aider les utilisateurs à réaliser la cinématographie et le montage de leurs productions.

Abstract: We address continuous free-form sculpting of 3D models that carry self-similar geometric details. In addition to being maintained when the model is bent or twisted, repetitive details should be duplicated rather than deformed in stretched regions, so that their distribution and appearance are preserved. Doing so in a temporally coherent way is essential in applications where the user sculpts through continuous deformation gestures. We propose a simple, yet effective solution for achieving such temporal coherence while enabling duplication of details. Our method maintains the set of existing details during stretch but seamlessly grows new ones in between. Similarly, some of the details progressively fade out when a region shrinks. Our solution is example-based: it uses the triangles of the initial support surface as exemplars to be selected and re-used in deformed regions. As our results show, our method achieves continuous free-form deformation of complex models while best preserving, at each time step, the properties and appearance of their initial distribution of details. Graphical abstractDisplay Omitted HighlightsWe propose a method for continuous self-replicating details for shape deformation.This method ensures temporal coherence during mesh deformation.It preserves the distribution of self-similar geometric details at any time step.The method is applicable in real-time and thus proving visually smooth feedback.

Abstract: International audience; We present the first method in computer graphics to animate sheets of paper at interactive rates while automatically generating a plausible set of sharp features when the sheet is crumpled. Our hybrid, geometric and physical, model is based on a high-level understanding of the physical constraints that act on real sheets of paper, and of their geometric counterparts. This understanding enables us to use an adaptive mesh carefully representing the main geometric features of paper in terms of singular points and developability.

Abstract: International audience; We present a unification of the two main approaches to simulate deformable solids, namely elasticity and constraints. Elasticity accurately handles soft to moderately stiff objects, but becomes numerically hard as stiffness increases. Constraints efficiently handle high stiffness, but when integrated in time they can suffer from instabilities in the nullspace directions, generating spurious transverse vibrations when pulling hard on thin inextensible objects or articulated rigid bodies. We show that geometric stiffness, the tensor encoding the change of force directions (as opposed to intensities) in response to a change of positions, is the missing piece between the two approaches. This previously neglected stiffness term is easy to implement and dramatically improves the stability of inextensible objects and articulated chains, without adding artificial bending forces. This allows time step increases up to several orders of magnitude using standard linear solvers.

Abstract: We present a space-time abstraction for the sketch-based design of character animation. It allows animators to draft a full coordinated motion using a single stroke called the space-time curve (STC). From the STC we compute a dynamic line of action (DLOA) that drives the motion of a 3D character through projective constraints. Our dynamic models for the line's motion are entirely geometric, require no pre-existing data, and allow full artistic control. The resulting DLOA can be refined by over-sketching strokes along the space-time curve, or by composing another DLOA on top leading to control over complex motions with few strokes. Additionally, the resulting dynamic line of action can be applied to arbitrary body parts or characters. To match a 3D character to the 2D line over time, we introduce a robust matching algorithm based on closed-form solutions, yielding a tight match while allowing squash and stretch of the character's skeleton. Our experiments show that space-time sketching has the potential of bringing animation design within the reach of beginners while saving time for skilled artists.

Abstract: International audience; We introduce the Vector Animation Complex (VAC), a novel data structure for vector graphics animation, designed to support themodeling of time-continuous topological events. This allows features of a connected drawing to merge, split, appear, or disappear atdesired times via keyframes that introduce the desired topological change. Because the resulting space-time complex directly capturesthe time-varying topological structure, features are readily edited in both space and time in a way that reflects the intent of the drawing.A formal description of the data structure is provided, along with topological and geometric invariants. We illustrate our modelingparadigm with experimental results on various examples.

Abstract: International audience; Cartoonists and animators often use lines of action to emphasize dynamics in character poses. In this paper, we propose a physically-based model to simulate the line of action's motion, leading to rich motion from simple drawings. Our proposed method is decomposed into three steps. Based on user-provided strokes, we forward simulate 2D elastic motion. To ensure continuity across keyframes, we re-target the forward simulations to the drawn strokes. Finally, we synthesize a 3D character motion matching the dynamic line. The fact that the line can move freely like an elastic band raises new questions about its relationship to the body over time. The line may move faster and leave body parts behind, or the line may slide slowly towards other body parts for support. We conjecture that the artist seeks to maximize the filling of the line (with the character's body)---while respecting basic realism constraints such as balance. Based on these insights, we provide a method that synthesizes 3D character motion, given discontinuously constrained body parts that are specified by the user at key moments.

Abstract: International audience; While several terrain generation methods focused on plausible watersheds, the fact that most mountains should not be isolated but rather be part of wider scale mountain ranges was seldom considered. In this work, we present the first procedural method that generates folded terrains from simple user input, in the form of some sparse peak distribution on a vector map. The key idea is to infer possible continental plates from this distribution and to use simplified plate tectonics to generate relevant terrain folds. The resulting terrain with large-scale folds, computed in real-time, can be further refined using standard erosion simulation. This leads to detailed terrains with plausible mountain ranges that match the peak distributions and main rivers specified on simple vector maps.

Abstract: National audience; Dans cet article, nous présentons la première méthode permettant d’animer une feuille de papier de façon interactive tout en générant automatiquement un ensemble plausible d’irrégularités, qui apparaissent au fur et à mesure alors que le papier se froisse. Notre modèle, à la fois physique et géométrique, se fonde sur l’étude des contraintes physiques qui s’exercent sur le papier et leur implications géométriques. La compréhension du comportement haut-niveau du papier nous permet d’utiliser un maillage adaptatif qui représente les principales caractéristiques de ce matériau en terme de points singuliers et de surfaces développables.

Abstract: Despite the advances made in the fields of existing objects capture and of procedural generation, creation of content for virtual worlds can not be perform without human interaction. This thesis suggests to exploit new touch devices ("multi-touch" screens) to obtain an easy, intuitive 2D interaction in order to navigate inside a virtual environment, to manipulate, position and deform 3D objects.First, we study the possibilities and limitations of the hand and finger gestures while interacting on a touch screen in order to discover which gestures are the most adapted to edit 3D scene and environment. In particular, we evaluate the effective number of degrees of freedom of the human hand when constrained on a planar surface. Meanwhile, we develop a new gesture analysis method using phases to identify key motion of the hand and fingers in real time. These results, combined to several specific user-studies, lead to a gestural design pattern which handle not only navigation (camera positioning), but also object positioning, rotation and global scaling. Then, this pattern is extended to complex deformation (such as adding and deleting material, bending or twisting part of objects, using local control). Using these results, we are able to propose and evaluate a 3D world editing interface that handle a naturaltouch interaction, in which mode selection (i.e. navigation, object positioning or object deformation) and task selections is automatically processed by the system, relying on the gesture and the interaction context (without any menu or button). Finally, we extend this interface to integrate more complex deformations, adapting the garment transfer from a character to any other in order to process interactive deformation of the garment while the wearing character is deformed.; Malgré les progrès en capture d’objets réels et en génération procédurale, la création de contenus pour les mondes virtuels ne peut se faire sans interaction humaine. Cette thèse propose d’exploiter les nouvelles technologies tactiles (écrans "multi-touch") pour offrir une interaction 2D simple et intuitive afin de naviguer dans un environnement virtuel, et d’y manipuler, positionner et déformer des objets 3D.En premier lieu, nous étudions les possibilité et les limitations gestuelles de la main et des doigts lors d’une interaction sur écran tactile afin de découvrir quels gestes semblent les plus adaptés à l’édition des environnements et des objets 3D. En particulier, nous évaluons le nombre de degré de liberté efficaces d’une main humaine lorsque son geste est contraint à une surface plane. Nous proposons également une nouvelle méthode d’analyse gestuelle par phases permettant d’identifier en temps réel les mouvements clés de la main et des doigts. Ces résultats, combinés à plusieurs études utilisateur spécifiques, débouchent sur l’identification d’un patron pour les interactions gestuelles de base incluant non seulement navigation (placement de caméra), mais aussi placement, rotation et mise à l’échelle des objets. Ce patron est étendudans un second temps aux déformations complexes (ajout et suppression de matière ainsi que courbure ou torsion des objets, avec contrôle de la localité). Tout ceci nous permet de proposer et d’évaluer une interface d’édition des mondes 3D permettant une interaction tactile naturelle, pour laquelle le choix du mode (navigation, positionnement ou déformation) et des tâches correspondantes est automatiquement géré par le système en fonction du geste et de son contexte (sans menu ni boutons). Enfin, nous étendons cette interface pour y intégrer des déformations plus complexe à travers le transfert de vêtements d’un personnage à un autre, qui est étendu pour permettre la déformation interactive du vêtement lorsque le personnage qui le porte est déformé par interaction tactile.

Abstract: Using 2D contour sketches as input is an attractive solution for easing the creation of 3D models. This paper tackles the problem of creating 3D models of animals from a single, side-view sketch. We use the a priori assumptions of smoothness and structural symmetry of the animal about the sagittal plane to inform the 3D reconstruction. Our contributions include methods for identifying and inferring the contours of shape parts from the input sketch, a method for identifying the hierarchy of these structural parts including the detection of approximate symmetric pairs, and a hierarchical algorithm for positioning and blending these parts into a consistent 3D implicit-surface-based model. We validate this pipeline by showing that a number of plausible animal shapes can be automatically constructed from a single sketch.?
