Patent number: 11393135Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for using a deformation model of a first object that is within a degree of similarity to a second object instead of creating a deformation model for the second object. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining an input to instantiate a first object in a graphical environment. The first object is characterized by a first set of response parameter values. A second object is identified. The second object is characterized by a second set of response parameter values that are within a threshold range of the first set of response parameter values. A deformation model of the second object is obtained. The deformation model defines a change in a visual property of the second object based on a condition.
