Physically-based modelling techniques for movement synthesis and animation

International audienceAmong the many physically-based modelling techniques, various have been designed in computer graphics for movement synthesis and animation. In this text, we present the main of them based more on the types of principles and techniques than on the type of objects: particle-based methods (particles systems, particle modelling, mass-interaction generic formalism, smooth particles), numerical resolution of mathematical continuous equations, solid-based methods (finite elements method, solid physics)
