HairWeaver: Few-Shot Photorealistic Hair Motion Synthesis with Sim-to-Real Guided Video Diffusion
Di Chang, Ji Hou, Aljaz Bozic +8
We present HairWeaver, a diffusion-based pipeline that animates a single human image with realistic and expressive hair dynamics. While existing methods successfully control body p…
HyperBones: Realtime Bone-driven Neural Garment Simulation with Hypernetwork Conditioning
Astitva Srivastava, Hsiao-Yu Chen, Ryan Goldade +9
Recent advances in garment simulation have brought high-quality results closer to real-time performance. Physics-based simulators can produce accurate motion, but remain too comput…
PhySkin: Physics-based Bone-driven Neural Garment Simulation
Astitva Srivastava, Hsiao-yu Chen, Ryan Goldade +7
Recent advances in digital avatar technology have enabled the generation of compelling virtual characters, but deploying these avatars on compute-constrained devices poses signific…
SkinCells: Sparse Skinning using Voronoi Cells
Egor Larionov, Igor Santesteban, Hsiao-yu Chen +6
For decades, real-time skinning has been the cornerstone of character animation in visual effects and games. Despite its importance, the creation of animatable digital assets remai…
Self-supervised Learning of Latent Space Dynamics
Yue Li, Gene Wei-Chin Lin, Egor Larionov +7
Modeling the dynamic behavior of deformable objects is crucial for creating realistic digital worlds. While conventional simulations produce high-quality motions, their computation…
Neuralocks: Real-Time Dynamic Neural Hair Simulation
Gene Wei-Chin Lin, Egor Larionov, Hsiao-yu Chen +2
Real-time hair simulation is a vital component in creating believable virtual avatars, as it provides a sense of immersion and authenticity. The dynamic behavior of hair, such as b…
