Cool stuff,
I agree, by no means useless! It could be fun to see how pixel bender could be put to work here.
Would you be willing to share the source code for this, it would be cool to get a peak :-). Is it implemented using motor2 ? Well, love your work and site!!

Thanks! For the coding part I used ‘Physics-Based Animation’ by Kenny Erleben et al., which has some good suggestions on how to implement FEM. An introductionary book I would recommend is ‘Fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis’ by David V. Hutton, which is geared towards the engineering student so the focus is more on application, but the overall mathematical concepts are there. If you are more interested in a mathematical approach ‘Introduction to Partial Differential Equations: A Computational Approach’ by Aslak Tveito and Ragnar Winther is a good start.

Great article. I was wondering if you could recommend some good, tractable references on this subject for further study?
