Abstract :
Soft bodies are the models in which the bodies deform during animated frames depending on the interaction between themselves and environment. This paper presents a parametric general model for soft body simulation in which structure, deformation, and volume controls generate animated deformations restricted by a set of constraints within or without an environment of gravitation. In this model, the soft body shape is controlled by structure control and anamorphosis of the soft body is created by deformation control, while the mass is approximated by volume control. A set of constraints for these controls further restrict the types of deformation of the soft body. By selecting specific methods for structure, deformation, and volume controls with a set of constraints, we demonstrate a variety of appealing fluid-like surfaces and respiration of lungs for validating the usefulness of the general model.
