Abstract:
1. A method for deforming computer-generated objects, the method comprising: receiving, at one or more computer systems, information identifying a first computer-generated object; receiving, at the one or more computer systems, information identifying a hexahedral grid; receiving, at the one or more computer systems, information identifying a set of material properties; receiving, at the one or more computer systems, kinematic information associated with a second computer-generated object; determining, with one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems, response of a continuum representation of a material at one or more cells of the hexahedral grid embedding the second object according to the set of material properties and the kinematic information associated with the second object based on a stabilized energy discretization over the one or more cells of the hexahedral grid utilizing a one point quadrature at each of the one or more cells, wherein the one point quadrature is stabilized according to an integration rule applied to a portion of an energy density function; generating, with the one or more processors associated with the one or more computer systems, information configured to deform the first object from a first configuration to a second configuration based on the determined response of the continuum representation of the material; and storing the information configured to deform the first object from the first configuration to the second configuration in a storage device associated with the one or more computer systems.
