Abstract:
Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture for physically-based sculpting of virtual elastic materials are provided. The physically-based sculpting in one embodiment simulates elastic responses to localized distributions of force produced by sculpting with a brush-like force (e.g., grab, twist, pinch, scale) using one or more regularized solutions to equations of linear elasticity applied to a virtual infinite elastic space, referred to herein as “regularized Kelvinlets.” In other cases, compound brushes, each based on a regularized Kelvinlet, may be used for arbitrarily fast decay; a linear combination of brushes based on regularized Kelvinlets may be used to impose pointwise constraints on displacements and gradients; locally affine forms of regularized Kelvinlets may be used for certain sculpting brushes; brush displacement constraints may be imposed by superimposing regularized Kelvinlets of different radial scales; and symmetrized deformations may be generated by copying and reflecting forces produced by regularized Kelvinlets.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method, comprising:\n receiving a selection of a sculpting brush and a brush size; receiving a movement from an input device; determining a deformation of a graphics object based, at least in part, on the selected sculpting brush and brush size, the received movement from the input device, and one or more regularized solutions to an equation of linear elasticity, wherein the one or more regularized solutions include a specified Poisson ratio parameter value; and rendering one or more images based, at least in part, on the graphics object with the determined deformation.
