We present a simple, linear 3D cellular automata approach for animatingthe melting process of solid volumetric models. Accuratemodelling of object melting usually requires complicated physicalsimulations of heat transfer and phase transition from solid to liquid.Instead, we propose a simplified model to describe the meltingbehaviors of highly viscous objects, such as wax, lava, plastic,metal and chocolate. We simulate the process by which a volumetricsolid transforms into a viscous liquid as the amount of heat itaccumulates on its surface reaches a certain temperature. We thenanimate smooth fluid behavior using a cellular automata. The dynamicvolume data is rendered directly on texture mapping hardwareto achieve an interactive speed.
