ABSTRACT
Advances in both hardware and software have significantly increased the number and types of tools available to the artists who create digital visual effects for film. In the same way musicians in the 1980's began to build and use electronic instruments with sounds based substantially on samples of actual instruments as opposed to synthesis techniques, vfx professionals now regularly choose between synthesis and sampling to create the fantastic digital images directors increasingly depend on to tell visually compelling stories. Like the musicians who have gone before them, effects artists find uses for both methods.

Motion-driven concatenative synthesis of cloth sounds
We present a practical data-driven method for automatically synthesizing plausible soundtracks for physics-based cloth animations running at graphics rates. Given a cloth animation, we analyze the deformations and use motion events to drive crumpling ...
Sampling-based Rig Conversion into Non-rigid Helper Bones
While 3D animation packages provide a wide variety of animation rigs for creating expressive skin animation, most interactive systems employ linear blend skinning for hard realtime computation. We propose a method for converting an arbitrary skeleton-...
Example-based wrinkle synthesis for clothing animation
SIGGRAPH '10: ACM SIGGRAPH 2010 papersThis paper describes a method for animating the appearance of clothing, such as pants or a shirt, that fits closely to a figure's body. Compared to flowing cloth, such as loose dresses or capes, these types of garments involve nearly continuous ...
