Oops, egg on my face.

I've just looked & found the paper in the Siggraph 93 proceedings
and the acknowledgments section in "Modeling Soil: Realtime Dynamic
Models for Soil Slippage and Manipulation" by Xin Li et al lists
an old performerite.

His name is Lance Marrou, somehow my pfMemory played a trick and I
thought it was you who had been mentioned, it's been a while since
I read it.

The paper does not specifically credit Lance with the real-time
animation but I remember Lance posting some material on how to
animate deforming geometry in Performer while avoiding MP
problems so I extrapolated a little based on available evidence ;-).

Sorry for the confusion, I waive responsibility for further
pfMemory corruption in this email.

Cheers, Angus.
