Good vibrations: modal dynamics for graphics and animation

Open access
Pentland, A., Williams, J.·1989·Proceedings of the 16th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

Abstract

Many of the problems of simulating and rendering complex systems of non-rigid objects can be minimized by describing the geometry and dynamics separately, using representations optimized for either one or the other, and then coupling these representations together.We describe a system which uses polynomial deformation mappings to couple a vibration-mode ("modal") representation of object dynamics together with volumetric models of object geometry.By use of such a hybrid representation we have been able to gain up to two orders of magnitude in efficiency, control temporal aliasing, and obtain simple, closed-form solutions to common (non-rigid) inverse dynamics problems.Further, this approach to dynamic simulation naturally lends itself to the emphasis and exaggeration techniques used in traditional animation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
