Zero energy homes: Combining energy efficiency and solar energy technologies
, 2000 In a typical Florida house, air-conditioning accounts for about 35% of all the electricity the home uses. As the largest single source of energy consumption in Florida, a home's air-conditioning load represents the biggest energy challenge facing Florida

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Cutout animation is one of the earliest forms of animation, and to this day remains a popular technique featured in numerous films including Monty Python and South Park series. Most computer animation systems, however, focus on different styles, including cel animation, making cutout animation somewhat underexplored.

Topology‐based Visual Analysis of Hydrothermal Plumes
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Hydrothermal plumes are turbulent structures of intense heat and mineral smoke that rise and disperse into the deep ocean. Existing models generally characterize these systems as a single axisymmetric plume originating from a point source. However, this assumption breaks down in weakly venting, spatially distributed systems, where low‐flux ...

Geometry‐Aware Alignment and Comparison of Hierarchical Morse Complexes with Applications
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Scalar fields derived from 3D X‐ray CT scans of samples undergoing ex situ processes, such as thermal aging, chemical etching, or mechanical stress, pose unique challenges for characterizing similarities and differences across acquisitions. Typically, a sample A (source) is imaged, removed, and subjected to experimental conditions that alter ...

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Network visualization has traditionally relied on heuristic metrics, such as stress, under the assumption that optimizing them leads to aesthetic and informative layouts. However, no single metric consistently produces the most effective results.

Phong‐Rodrigues Extrinsic Vector‐Field Processing
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We introduce a new extrinsic discretization of tangent vector fields on triangle meshes that is continuous, with bounded derivatives that are continuous almost everywhere, supporting pointwise evaluation and integration of differential operators.

On Bending in the As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible Deformation Energy
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract The well‐established As‐Rigid‐As‐Possible (ARAP) energy has various forms. For surface deformation, commonly used energies contain an implicit bending penalty. We present a natural, continuous generalization that incorporates multiple ARAP versions with an implicit, user‐controllable bending penalty.

t‐Regina: Data‐driven Authoring of Free‐form Registration for Cartoon Character Sprites
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract This paper proposes t‐Regina, a novel iterative scheme that automates the manipulation of grid handles in free‐form deformation (FFD) for deformable registrations of cartoon character sprites. First, we build a data‐driven FFD (dFFD) that enables users to handle locations of FFD handles from lower‐dimensional parameters.
