Jernej Barbic Releases Comprehensive 3D Deformable Object Library for
Free
General purpose modeling software “Vega” will allow a wide range of
users to simulate in real time
August 06, 2012 — On Monday, Aug. 6, Professor Jernej Barbič of USC
Viterbi's Computer Science Department released the world’s most comprehensive
library of 3D deformable modeling software for free open source download.
The package, called Vega, allows users to simulate and move complex
objects, bending, stretching and twisting them in real time. A potentially
powerful tool for animation and game artists, as well as engineers designing
complete structures, Vega is optimized for speed and can animate the motion of
any 3D solid object, under any user-specified forces. In fact, no other free
library offers such a comprehensive range of materials and deformable
simulation methods.
