Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008124941A1] There is described a method of representing a physical object for digital animation, the method comprising: creating a digital model of the physical object by using digital characteristics to define the physical object; and generating at least one digital equation from the digital model for a position of the object at a state n+1, the at least one equation linking the position of the object at a state n+1 to a position of the object at a state n, a position at a state n-1 and at least one general attractor which represents a target position towards which the object is biased to move.
