Abstract
We summarize an interactive GLUI-based interface to the real-time softbody simulation using OpenGL. This interactivity focuses not only the user being able to drag 1D-, 2D-, and 3D-deformable elastic objects selectively or all at once, but also being able to change at run-time various “knobs” and “switches” of the level-of-detail (LOD) of the objects on the scene as well as their physically-based modeling parameters. We discuss the properties of such an interface in its current iteration, advantages and disadvantages, and the main contribution of this work.
