Computing Skinning Weights via Convex Duality
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.We present an alternate optimization method to compute bounded biharmonic skinning weights. Our method relies on a dual formulation, which can be optimized with a nonnegative linear least squares setup. Abstract We study the problem of optimising for skinning weights through the lens of convex duality.

Neural Local Inter‐reflection Modeling for Garment Fold Rendering
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Realistic garment rendering requires simulating complex multi‐bounce light paths within intricate fold geometries. In these regions, conventional path tracing is computationally expensive as light becomes trapped, necessitating high bounce counts for convergence.

Edge‐preserving noise for diffusion models
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Classical diffusion models typically rely on isotropic Gaussian noise, treating all regions uniformly and overlooking structural information important for high‐quality generation. We introduce an edge‐preserving diffusion process that generalizes isotropic models via a hybrid noise scheme with an edge‐aware scheduler that smoothly transitions ...

Progressively Projected Newton's Method
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Newton's Method is widely used to find the solution of complex non‐linear simulation problems. To guarantee a descent direction, it is common practice to clamp the negative eigenvalues of each element Hessian prior to assembly—a strategy known as Projected Newton (PN)—but this perturbation often hinders convergence.

Survey on differential estimators for 3d point clouds
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Recent advancements in 3D scanning technologies, including LiDAR and photogrammetry, have enabled the precise digital replication of real‐world objects. These methods are widely used in fields such as GIS, robotics, and cultural heritage. However, the point clouds generated by such scans are often noisy and unstructured, posing challenges for ...

Register‐Efficient Linear‐Time Evaluation in the Bernstein Basis
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We investigate the evaluation of points and derivatives of Bézier curves and surfaces on modern architectures, focusing on performance and guided by numerical error bounds. While the de Casteljau algorithm remains the reference for numerical robustness, its linear working‐set size imposes substantial register pressure on GPUs.
