Abstract
Model animation using turbulence. A computer-implemented method first generates a noise model having a number of dimensions one greater than a number of dimensions of a source model. The source model is perturbed to introduce animated distortion into the source model, by utilizing one of a plurality of frames of the noise model, where each frame has a number of dimensions equal to the number of dimensions of the source model. The perturbed source model is then displayed on a display device. The perturbation and displaying of the source model can be repeated, utilizing different frames of the noise model.
