By lifting input coordinates using generalized winding numb ers, our approach models discontinuities explicitly and flexibly, supporti ng accurate, real-time simulations with dynamic cut updates and user-inter active cut shape design.\n\nInterest Area: Research & Education\n\nRecordi ng: Livestreamed, Not Livestreamed, Recorded, Not Recorded\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Virtual Access, Monday\n\nSession Chair: Yin Y ang (University of Utah, Style3D Research)\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
