Most real world objects consist of non-uniform materials; as a result, during deformation the bending and shearing are distributed non-uniformly and depend on the local stiffness of the material. In the virtual environment there are three prevalent approaches to model deformation: purely geometric, physically driven, and skeleton based. This paper proposes a new approach to model deformation that incorporates nonuniform materials into the geometric deformation framework. Our approach provides a simple and intuitive method to control the distribution of the bending and shearing throughout the model according to the local material stiffness. It also provides a rich, flexible and intuitive user interface. Thus, we are able to generate realistic looking, material-aware deformations at interactive rates. Our method works on all types of models, including models with continuous stiffness gradation and non-articulated models such as cloth. The material stiffness across the surface can be specified by the user wi...
