Lecture Overview
Join us for an engaging lecture exploring cutting-edge techniques in computer graphics, from surface representations to dynamic liquid simulations.
Computer graphics employs various surface representations, such as triangle meshes and signed distance fields, each with unique strengths and challenges. This talk will explore how these representations apply to dynamic liquid surfaces, enabling realistic visual effects such as animating soap bubbles, simulating splashing liquids, and modeling multiphase flows.
