Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of modeling the deformation of a deformable object in a graphics simulation, the method comprising: defining a goal shape related to the deformable object by transforming an original non-deformed shape related to the deformable object to a deformed shape related to the deformable object; defining elastic forces associated with the deformation in proportion to distance between a first set of data points associated with the deformed shape and a second set of data points associated with the goal shape; describing the deformation using an explicit integration scheme, comprising: resolving the explicit integration scheme by pulling each point in the first set of points towards a corresponding point in the second set of points in the goal shape, wherein the first set of data points is used to model the deformation of the deformable object in the graphics simulation performed on a computing device.
