Description:


    The growth program which produced this animation uses a large voxel array to represent objects in a 3-0 environment. Growth of branching organic forms is made to conform to objects in the environment by requiring that growth occur only within a certain proximity of underlying objects.
    The modeling and animation of clothing on a moving figure is a challenging problem that not only involves the draping of clothing to conform to the shape of the figure, but the deformation of the clothing due to the forces of gravity and wind resistance. The simplified approach taken here can best be described as “pseudo-dynamics” in which the skirt is a springy mesh which is draped over a z-buffer representa­ tion of a dancer.
