Volume Preserving Sinusoidal Muscles for Surface Skinning
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
The problem of modeling and animating realistic humans is well known in computer graphics. In particular, it has been difficult to arrive at a skinning method that allows for realistic skin deformation during motion. In this thesis, I outline the development of a volumetric muscle model that can be embedded within a skin mesh to induce realistic, physics-based deformation during simulation. These volumetric muscles are layered on top of a dynamic framework of linear, segment-based muscles that drive the underlying skeletal structure. The result is an integrated system that supports
realistic skin deformation along a specified target motion.
