Abstract
Methods and systems for performing softbody tissue simulation are described. A two-dimensional (2D) vertex displacement grid, represented as a 2D texture of a softbody mesh, can be determined. The 2D texture can comprise pinned positions of vector displacements relative to base positions. The surface of a three-dimensional (3D) object can be displaced by adding the vector displacements stored in the 2D texture in order to perform softbody tissue simulation. The pinning can comprise sliding, and sliding objects can be represented as signed distance functions (SDFs).
