1. Field
The present invention relates to a method of cloth simulation using linear stretch/shear model, and more particularly to a method of cloth simulation using linearized energy functions.
2. Brief Discussion of the Related Art
When it is needed to create an animated image of humans with a sufficient level of details and realism, whether it is in a movie, animation, video games, or virtual reality (VR) simulation, the problem of simulating dynamic movements of clothes arises. Unfortunately, clothing animation has been and still remains a stressful task to the animators. One of the major reasons for the frustration is the amount of computation clothing simulation involves; it takes several days of simulation time to produce one minute long animation of a ten thousand polygon outfit. Unless one gives up the quality drastically, the speed of simulation is far from real-time.
