ACE: A Platform for the Real Time Simulation of Virtual Human Agents
Virtual humans simulations are becoming each time more popular. Nowadays many systems are available to animate virtual humans. Such systems encompass several different domains, as: autonomous agents in virtual environments, human factors analysis, training, education, virtual prototyping, simulation-based design, and entertainment. As an example, an application to train equipment usage using virtual humans is presented by Johnson et al. Among others, the Improv system is mainly controlled by behavioral scripts designed to be easily translated from a given storyboard. Also using scripts, the Motivate system is defined as a hierarchical finite state machine targeting game development. [via]

...Many mesh parameterization algorithms have focused on minimizing distortion and utilizing texture area, but few have addressed issues related to processing a signal on the mesh surface.We present an algorithm which partitions a mesh into rectangular charts while preserving a one-to-one texel correspondence across chart boundaries.

...Resampling raw surface meshes is one of the most fundamental operations used by nearly all digital geometry processing systems. The vast majority of this work has focused on triangular remeshing, yet quadrilateral meshes are preferred for many surface PDE problems, especially fluid dynamics, and are best suited for defining Catmull-C..
