Description:


    Using a discrete simulation technique to model the physical properties of objects and interactions with their surrounding environments, realistic motion of a wide variety of flexible objects can be automatically generated. Preliminary motion tests of paper, cloth, flexible spheres, rods, and cables are demonstrated using this technique.
