| Animal Motion in Dynamic Environments: From Science to Animation and Back |
| Animals on our planet display a wide variety of means to interact with the world. The diverse control mechanisms and different physical environments result in various form of locomotion and manipulation strategies. Much research work in computer animation has focused on the active control of virtual characters. The resultant motion, however, also depends on realistic simulation of the physical surroundings, such as the media or objects the animals are in contact with. In this talk, I will address three problems to extend our ability to animate animal motion in dynamic environments: gait discovery in aquatic medium, learning bicycle stunts, and manipulation of cloth for dressing tasks. These problems have their unique challenges in physics simulation, in contact modeling, and in optimization of control policy. The first project presents a technique to accurately simulate the hydrodynamic effects on articulated aquatic creatures. The second project describes how an simulated character learns bicycle stunts by simultaneously searching for the parameterization and parameters of an optimal control policy. Finally, I will introduce a new planning algorithm that enables virtual characters to put on various types of simulated garments in a natural way. I will conclude with some interdisciplinary efforts to accelerate the impact of computer animation on other scientific and engineering fields. |

| Computational Origami Design |
| Among a variety of fabrications, paper is one the most familiar material for us, and origami, making objects by folding a sheet of paper, attracts people all over the world. However, making intended shapes by just folding a sheet of paper is not a simple task due to its geometrical restrictions caused by the non-stretchable property of material. In this talk, I will look back on history of origami design, and introduce today's origami design approaches as well as our origami design systems. Most of the systems we developed are interactive, and able to handle curved folds. I will also show some industrial applications and attractive origami artworks. |

Chris Wojtan is a Professor at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria). He received his Ph.D. in Computer Graphics from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2010. He has written numerous research papers on physics simulation and geometry processing, including 17 papers presented at ACM SIGGRAPH. Much of his research aims to find efficient numerical solutions for physics problems that couple with extremely complicated geometry and topology, with particular emphasis on generating liquid motion and fracture patterns.

| Surface-Only Methods for Simulating Flow and Fracture |
| Physical simulation is a valuable tool for creating extremely detailed and realistic animations of natural phenomena. However, simulations of fluids and elastic bodies can become very expensive, because they require the solution of complicated partial differential equations over an entire 3D volume, which is repeated across many time steps. In our recent research, we have developed method for solving these problems using only the surface, instead of the entire volume. This boundary-only strategy can lead to significantly less memory storage, orders of magnitude faster computation, and theoretically interesting perspectives on the original problem. In this talk, I will present methods from SIGGRAPH 2015 and 2016 that introduce surface-only methods for simulating bubbles, liquid splashes, ocean waves, and fracturing solids. |
