Method for Controlling Digital Feather Generations Through a User Interface in a Computer Modeling System

A computer system for realistic animated object generation via a user interface on a modeling system, the computer system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a computer-readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the computer system to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from an input to the user interface of the modeling system, a curve defining a central line of an animated object;
• generating the animated object in the user interface based at least on the curve, wherein the animated object comprises structures extended away from the central line of the animated object in one or more directions;
• deforming the animated object, to form a deformed animated object, based on one or more deformation parameters received via the user interface;
• and
• generating a data structure representing the animated object based on the deformed animated object, the animated object contour, and the structure density.
