I presented a poster paper at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024 in Tokyo, Japan. The paper introduces a method to generate fractured meshes of 3D objects based on physically captured or synthesized data.
Title: Neural Clustering for Prefractured Mesh Generation in Real-time Object Destruction
Authors: Seunghwan Kim, Sunha Park, Seungkyu Lee
Abstract: Prefracture method is a practical implementation for real-time object destruction that is hardly achievable within performance constraints, but can produce unrealistic results due to its heuristic nature. To mitigate it, we approach the clustering of prefractured mesh generation as an unordered segmentation on point cloud data, and propose leveraging the deep neural network trained on a physics-based dataset. Our novel paradigm successfully predicts the structural weakness of object that have been limited, exhibiting ready-to-use results with remarkable quality.
