Abstract:

A method of rendering an animated object includes: (1) determining momentums of a plurality of particles of the object as sums of polynomials; (2) transferring the momentums of the particles of the object to a grid including a plurality of grid nodes; (3) updating momentums of the grid nodes based on the transferred momentums of the particles; (4) transferring the updated momentums of the grid nodes to the particles of the object; (5) updating positions of the particles based on the updated momentums of the grid nodes; and (6) outputting a visualization of the object based on the updated positions of the particles of the object.
