In this paper we present a method for applying 2D
textures onto composite and articulated objects defined by implicit
functions. The method generates a particle system associated with
the gradient vector field of an implicit function which acquires texture
coordinates at a support surface. By extending this method to
composite objects, an implicit surface may change its shape in time,
while maintaining texture consistency. This 
approach prevents the appearance of undesirable effects such as ghosting
and artifacts at the blending parts of an implicit object.
