Speeding up Cloth Simulation by Linearizing the Bending Function of the Physical Mass-Spring Model

Abstract

We introduce a new enhancement to speed up the physical mass-spring model for efficient cloth simulation. The mass-spring model is known for its accuracy but slowness. The proposed technique tackles the computation burden of the model by developing a linearization solution for the bending function. The proposed technique is about six times faster than the traditional technique of directly evaluating the complex physical models. The detailed of the proposed technique and its experimental results are discussed in this paper.
