  abstract = {Weathering over long periods of time results in cracking and
              peeling of layers such as paint. To include these effects in
              computer graphics images it is necessary to simulate crack
              propagation, loss of adhesion, and the curling effect of paint
              peeling. We present a new approach which computes such a
              simulation on surfaces. Our simulation is inspired by the
              underlying physical properties. We use paint strength and tensile
              stress to determine where cracks appear on the surface. Cracks are
              then propagated through a 2D grid overlaid on the original
              surface, and we consider elasticity to compute the reduction of
              paint stress around the cracks. Simulation of the adhesion between
              the paint and the underlying material finally determines how the
              paint layer curls as it peels from the surface. The result of this
              simulation is rendered by generating explicit geometry to
              represent the peeling curls. We provide user control of the
              surface properties influencing the propagation of cracks. Results
              of our simulation and rendering method show that our approach
              produces convincing images of cracks and peels.},
