For the STORM seminar on Friday, May 18, Brian Wyvill will give a talk on Implicit Representation of Inscribed Volumes. Abstract The talk will describe a recent project on volumetric modeling of porous structures including cheese (such as Emmental) and tiny sea creatures known as radiolarians. Brian is a visiting professor from the University of Victoria in Canada.

This weekly STORM seminar is dedicated to “Eurographics 2018 Feedback” that will be presented by David Vanderhaeghe and Thibault Lejemble.

For the STORM seminar on Friday, April 13, Mathias Paulin will give a presentation titled Toward versatile rendering in the Radium Engine. Abstract The Radium Engine was first developed for animation purpose, then geometry processing. Its now time to allow also advanced rendering functionalities in the Radium Engine. For now, each of us develop their shaders and renderers, […]

For the weekly seminar of the STORM research group, Loïc Barthe will give a presentation titled Implicit Skinning : What to do next ?. Abstract After a quick review of the implicit skinning technique, a discussion will follow on the current limitations and possible venues for new research. One direction is the study of a dynamic […]

For the STORM seminar on Friday, March 23, Valentin Roussellet will present an Introduction to topology. Abstract This quick introduction lecture to topology will help you answer the following questions : What is the difference between a doughnut and a mug ? What do we mean when we talk about manifolds ? If you’re submerged, are you also […]

This weekly STORM seminar is dedicated to the  “StarAnim ANR project” submission that will be presented by David Vanderhaeghe. Abstract The StarAnim project addresses the stylization of 3D animation. Stylized images are ubiquitous in visual communications, for animation films, commercials and scientific illustration for example. The expected contributions are the definition of an automatic approach taking into account […]

For the weekly seminar of the STORM research group, Alban Odot will give a presentation on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics: Basics and Implementation. Abstract Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is introduced as a complementary tool for numerical simulation of peculiar hydrodynamic problems. SPH is a Lagrangian method that can be used to model fluid flow by treating each […]

For the weekly seminar of the STORM research group, Nadine Aburumman will give a presentation on Numerical Optimization Techniques. As part of the reading group of the Numerical Optimization book, it is strongly advised to have completed the Chapter 3 in order to participate to this seminar. Abstract This seminar will recall the unconstrained optimization methods. Then, we will focus on the […]

For the weekly seminar of the STORM research group, Valentin Roussellet will give a presentation on Position Based Dynamics – Theory and Practice. This seminar will take the form of both a theoretical presentation as well as a practical tutorial on this widely used physical simulation method.

For the STORM seminar of Friday, February 2, Anahid Ghazanfarpour will present her current research works on Multiple Object Mesh Simplification with Proximity Preserving Quadric Error Metric. Abstract : Quadric Error Metric (QEM) is a local simplification method that produces satisfying results for a single object. However, in case several objects with proximities to each other are […]
