Particularly, our benchmarks have high model complexity or non-rigid deformations or breaking objects.

 

All the dynamic scenes are stored in the ply file format; also, each dynamic frame is stored in a separate ply file with different ID. Sequences of each benchmark are shown in the MPEG4 video of the paper mentioned above. Please contact Sung-eui Yoon or Dinesh Manocha, if you have questions.

2. Dynamic Benchmarks

 

A. Exploding dragon and bunny model

 

# of triangles: 252K

# of raw sequences: 16

Zipped file size: 48MB, download

Characteristics: one or more objects break into smaller pieces (i.e. explosions) and thereby change their topologies.

 

 

B. Cloth-ball simulation model

 

# of triangles: 92K

# of raw sequences: 94

Zipped file size: 102MB download

Characteristics: it has non-rigid deformation.

 

C. N-body simulation

 

# of triangles: 146K

# of raw sequences: 94

Zipped file size: 78MB download

Characteristics: this benchmark consists of multiple moving objects. Each object may undergo a rigid or deformable motion and the objects collide with each other and the ground.

 

D. Letters

 

# of triangles: 5K

# of raw sequences: 475

Zipped file size: 23MB download

Characteristics: Multiple deforming models of alphabet and number shapes that fall into a bowl and break into pieces.

 

E. Lion

 

# of triangles: 1.6M

# of raw sequences: 45

Zipped file size: 440MB download

Characteristics: A stone falls on top of a Chinese lion model and the lion gradually breaks into a high number of colliding pieces.

 

F. Funnel

 

# of triangles: 18.5K

# of raw sequences: 51

Zipped file size: 95.3M download

Characteristics: A cloth folks into the funnel and passes through it due to the force applied by the ball.

 

Additional benchmarks corresponding to Fracturing Models are available as KAIST Model Benchmarks .
