Abstract:


    Cloth-cloth interactions are highly complex. Colliding patches of cloth push on and slide against each other. This alternative approach to modeling cloth prevents self-intersections and reacts in a realistic manner as the cloth collides with itself. It does not sacrifice the visual integrity of the simulation and yields realistic self-collisions in cloth.
