After the silver-coloured feet had been fixed on the ground, the deformation was modelled during a short interactive session. A dedicated plasticity model facilitates realistic, intuitive modelling while volumetric effects are appropriately incorporated. The surface mesh consists of 250.000 vertices (original mesh courtesy of Stanford Computer Graphics Laboratory), which are transformed smoothly and interactively by the quadratic shape functions of the underlying tetrahedral mesh.
