Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a new approach to animate the dynamic skin deformation of virtual characters. This approach is based on a mathematical model which combines a vector-valued second order ordinary differential equation with the equation of motion, and considers the dynamic effects on skin deformation, i.e., how velocity and acceleration affect the deformed skin shapes. We develop an efficient analytical solution of the mathematical model and apply it in some applications of skin deformation. These applications demonstrate the validity of our proposed approach in animating dynamic skin deformation.
