Terrain-adaptive bipedal locomotion control
We describe a framework for the automatic synthesis of biped locomotion controllers that adapt to uneven terrain at run-time. The framework consists of two components: a per-foots...

Robust physics-based locomotion using low-dimensional planning
This paper presents a physics-based locomotion controller based on online planning. At each time-step, a planner optimizes locomotion over multiple phases of gait. Stance dynamics...

Rigid-body fracture sound with precomputed soundbanks
We propose a physically based algorithm for synthesizing sounds synchronized with brittle fracture animations. Motivated by laboratory experiments, we approximate brittle fracture...

Precomputed wave simulation for real-time sound propagation of dynamic sources in complex scenes
We present a method for real-time sound propagation that captures all wave effects, including diffraction and reverberation, for multiple moving sources and a moving listener in a...

Reducing shading on GPUs using quad-fragment merging
Current GPUs perform a significant amount of redundant shading when surfaces are tessellated into small triangles. We address this inefficiency by augmenting the GPU pipeline to...

2.5D cartoon models
We present a way to bring cartoon objects and characters into the third dimension, by giving them the ability to rotate and be viewed from any angle. We show how 2D vector art dra...
