text: We introduce a method for efficiently animating a wide range of deformable
materials. We combine a high resolution surface mesh with a tetrahedral finite
element simulator that makes use of frequent re-meshing. This combination allows
for fast and detailed simulations of complex elastic and plastic behavior. We
significantly expand the range of physical parameters that can be simulated with
a single technique, and the results are free from common artifacts such as volume-loss,
smoothing, popping, and the absence of thin features like strands and sheets.
Our decision to couple a high resolution surface with low-resolution physics leads
to efficient simulation and detailed surface features, and our approach to creating
the tetrahedral mesh leads to an order-of-magnitude speedup over previous techniques
in the time spent re-meshing. We compute masses, collisions, and surface tension
forces on the scale of the fine mesh, which helps avoid visual artifacts due to
the differing mesh resolutions. The result is a method that can simulate a large
array of different material behaviors with high resolution features in a short
amount of time.
