  • Patent number: 9710156
    Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for three-dimensional object sculpting and deformation on a mobile device. The system including a display, a memory storing a sculpting software application, and a processor configured to execute the sculpting software application to present an object to the user on the display, receive a first user input from the user for deforming the object, deform the object based on the first user input to generate a deformed object, receive a second user input from the user for squishing the deformed object using a squishing machine, and re-present the deformed object on the display next to the squishing machine. Squishing the deformed object may include breaking the deformed object in a blending machine, melting the deformed object with a heating machine, blowing the deformed object up with a pump, or breaking the deformed object up within a bubble.
