Singed Silhouettes and Feed Forward Flames: Volumetric Neural Style Transfer for Expressive Fire Simulation

Paul Kanyuk, Vinicius C. Azevedo, Raphael Ortiz, Jingwei Tang
May 2023

While controlling simulated gaseous volumes remains an ongoing battle when seeking realism in computer graphics, creating appealing characters entirely out of these simulations brought this challenge to an entirely new level in Pixar's film Elemental. For fire characters, like the protagonist Ember, their faces and bodies needed to look and ... more

Controllable Neural Style Transfer for Dynamic Meshes

Guilherme G. Haetinger, Jingwei Tang, Raphael Ortiz, Paul Kanyuk, Vinicius C. Azevedo
July 2024

In recent years, animation movies are shifting from realistic representations to more stylized depictions that support unique design languages. To favor that, recent works implemented a Neural Style Transfer (NST) pipeline that supports the stylization of 3D assets by 2D images. In this paper we propose a novel mesh stylization ... more
