Eris’s work on Progressive Dynamics++ is at SIGGRAPH 2025. Check out the latest VelPro integrator.
Kangrui’s work on WaveBlender is at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024. A faster and simpler way to synthesize low-noise sound for animations. Up to 1000x speedups over prior FDTD solvers.
Sky dancers from Eris’s Progressive Dynamics paper made the cover of the SIGGRAPH 2024 proceedings. “Yay Team!” :D
