Our model begins as a solid closed composite of irregular triangles, pivoted together using a custom joint. The joints allow the model to pivot itself as well as within a grouping. These groupings act as a global connection,begin to break apart from the closed composite branching and forming a more distorted volumetric form. The local connections are able to contort within the grouping, allowing for specific movement and distortion appropriate for the scene and environment. For example the triangles form into possible furniture and props for the actors as well as backdrops and scenery when necessary.
