Example-Based Wrinkle Synthesis for Clothing Animation

This paper describes a method for animating the appearance of clothing, such as pants or a shirt, that fits closely to a figure’s body. Compared to flowing cloth, such as loose dresses or capes, these types of garments involve nearly continuous collision contact and small wrinkles, that can be troublesome for traditional cloth simulation methods. […]

Stable Spaces for Real-Time Clothing

We present a technique for learning clothing models that enables the simultaneous animation of thousands of detailed garments in real-time. This surprisingly simple conditional model learns and preserves the key dynamic properties of a cloth motion along with folding details. Our approach requires no a priori physical model, but rather treats training data as a […]

Efficient Yarn-Based Cloth Simulation With Adaptive Contact Linearization

Yarn-based cloth simulation can improve visual quality but at high computational costs due to the reliance on numerous persistent yarn-yarn contacts to generate material behavior. Finding so many contacts in densely interlinked geometry is a pathological case for traditional collision detection, and the sheer number of contact interactions makes contact processing the simulation bottleneck. In […]

Underwater Cloth Simulation with Fractional Derivatives

We introduce the use of fractional differentiation for simulating cloth de formations underwater. The proposed approach is able to achieve realistic underwater deformations without simulating the Eulerian body of water in which the cloth is immersed. Instead, we propose a particle-based cloth model where half-derivative viscoelastic elements are included for describing both the internal and […]

Unified Simulation of Elastic Rods, Shells, and Solids

We develop an accurate, unified treatment of elastica. Following the method of resultant-based formulation to its logical extreme, we derive a higher-order integration rule, or elaston, measuring stretching, shearing, bending, and twisting along any axis. The theory and accompanying implementation do not distinguish between forms of different dimension (solids, shells, rods), nor between manifold regions […]

Anisotropic Friction for Deformable Surfaces and Solids

This paper presents a method for simulating anisotropic friction for deforming surfaces and solids. Frictional contact is a complex phenomenon that fuels research in mechanical engineering, computational contact mechanics, composite material design and rigid body dynamics, to name just a few. Many real-world materials have anisotropic surface properties. As an example, most textile materials exhibit […]

Simple, yet accurate tensile stiffness

Recent Particle System models have evolved toward accurate representation of elastic stiffness based on continuum mechanics, converging to formulations that make them quite analogous to fast Finite Element methods. These formulations usually involve the linearization of tensors that help their formulation in the context of linear elasticity. Toward our objective of simulating the nonlinear properties […]

Triangular Springs for Modeling Nonlinear Membranes

This paper provides a formal connexion between springs and continuum mechanics in the context of onedimensional and two-dimensional elasticity. In a first stage, the equivalence between tensile springs and the finite element discretization of stretching energy on planar curves is established. Furthermore, when considering a quadratic strain function of stretch, we introduce a new type […]

Continuum-based Strain Limiting

We present Continuum-based Strain Limiting (CSL) – a new method for limiting deformations in physically-based cloth simulations. Recent developments have led to methods which excel at simulating nearly inextensible materials, but the efficient simulation of general biphasic textiles and their anisotropic behavior remains challenging. Other approaches use softer materials and enforce limits on edge elongations, […]
