Implemented soft body Physics using a series of goal springs and surface springs to achieve nice jiggling effects. Done using Microsoft XNA 2.0.

Initially only goal springs are used to bind the deforming mesh to a morphing goal mesh. However, only local jiggles can be obtained. Surface springs are then used to connect the vertices together to give surface tension. This resulted in nice whole-surface jiggles. The comparison between these two version can be seen in the video below.

I am a Technical Director with strong interests in both the tech and artistic side of things. My life evolves round visual effects, photography, software engineering, tools programming and generally anything that looks and sounds cool.
I have done a variety of CG programming previously, including fluid simulations, muscle systems, soft/rigid bodies, raytracing etc. These theoretical and programming knowledge complement the visual works that I do as a TD in the VFX industry.
