Abstract

See full text

An improved system and method is provided to closely represent visual clues caused by interactions between an object and a surface in a computer graphics scene. The object is attached with at least one invisible graphical item which may be in contact with the surface. The surface is defined by a virtual web of vertices, and one or more vertices are displaced when the sphere contacts the surface. This displacement creates the visual clues as the object moves around the scene in an unpredictable manner.
