Cloth Simulation with a Modified Implicit Method Based on a Simplified Mass-Spring Model

Abstract

Firstly, we introduced the development of cloth simulation in recent years. Based on physical model of cloth simulation, we established the simulation system with a simplified mass-spring model. The computational efficiency is increased with this model. A modified implicit method was proposed in this paper. This method produces plausible animation, and it is easy to be realized with a stable and good real-time performance. The paper adopted AABB (Axis-Aligned Bounding Boxes) bounding volume approach for the detection of cloth collision, it obtains an excellent real-time effect of cloth simulation.

Study and comparison techniques in fabric simulation using mass spring model

“…Study and comparison techniques connection in mesh structure which is consistent with results of other researchers (Selle et al, 2009;Choi and Ko, 2002;Hu et al, 2013). Also Figure 11 shows the difference of computational time between various mesh is reduced by decreasing number of mass points.…”

“…Results of Huang's study showed that it does not affect the model significantly whether it is with two shear springs or one shear spring, therefore; in this mesh, one of the shear springs is eliminated to simplify the model. The simplified mass spring model is shown in Figure 7 ( Hu et al, 2013). Yuan et al (2010) introduced a new mesh based on virtual springs.…”

“…Another challenge in fabric simulation is increasing speed and real-time simulation. So researchers are looking for new techniques to increase speed in numerical integration, super elasticity, collision detection and response methods (Vassilev, 2001;Shou et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013;Huang et al, 2014;Hu et al, 2013).…”
