We have achieved the goal set out in our earlier paper [
17
]. This was to develop a deformable surface with arbitrary topology. We
have developed a scheme for rapid computation. The
matrices and software implementing the calculation of the
vectors will be made publically available [
16
].
Considerable work remains. Slime can be applied in many application domains. More importantly it opens up a variety of questions relating to the extraction and manipulation of mesh topology.
