Absolutely, however, you will need to construct a muscle model for horses. The human model is a result of decades of research, MRIs etc.

In the 2017 challenge yes. This year we are using a 3d model.

That's only one-side of the story. It is actually a very accurate contact model. The problem is that it's also computationally expensive and therefore we reduce the stiffness of objects to make it faster. It's basically a trade-off between the accuracy and speed. In gaming engines you have speed and it looks good, but then it's impossible to generalize for real-life applications (because the contact is inaccurate).

I've just checked with Gini and GDP per capita. No correlations :/

Thanks! We teamed up with the authors of the original algorithm and Leon figured out quickly how to improve resolution.
