Dyrt: Dynamic response textures for real time deformation simulation with graphics hardware.

In John F. Hughes, editor, SIGGRAPH 2002 Conference Proceedings, Annual Conference Series, pages 582--585. ACM SIGGRAPH, July 2002.

In this paper we describe how to simulate geometrically complex, interactive, physically-based, volumetric, dynamic deformation models with negligible main CPU costs. This is achieved using a Dynamic Response Texture, or DyRT, that can be mapped onto any conventional animation as an optional rendering stage using commodity graphics hardware. The DyRT simulation process employs precomputed modal vibration models excited by rigid body motions. We present several examples, with an emphasis on bone-based character animation for interactive applications.
