Abstract:
Simulation of cloth and hair of characters are represented using joint animation for in-game processing. Deducing joint rotations from simulated mesh using rivets or decomposition, pose limitations to our animators. We present a custom solution that provides simpler setup to simulate joint chains and resolve collisions yielding optimized results.
