Time-critical animation of deformable solids

This article presents a model for handling multiresolution animation of complex deformable models. An octree-based animation method is described, along with the set of algorithmic tools, that allow for real-time interaction on complex objects. Some efficient collision detection scheme is also described for deformable objects. A method is presented for timeguaranteed mechanical simulation, that allows for automatic tuning of the octree definition to match some external performance constraints, such as adaptation to some pre-defined CPU consumption limitation.
