A Cloth Simulation Method Based on Differential Geometric Energy

Abstract

According to the properties of bending and stretching in the cloth simulation, in order to achieve a superior cloth deformation effects, this paper proposes a new cloth simulation method based on the geometric deformation model that can preserve geometric features in the deformation better. Based on differential domain constraints condition, deformation energy function based on the different types of cloth materials is optimized. Nonlinear least squares deformation energy is the core of this differential framework. The cloth deformation is simulated interactively by increasing the related constraints and iteration methods. On the basis of design of geometric energy, transformation, and the corresponding nonlinear optimization numerical solution, the cloth deformation can be simulated more realistic. Especially, the geometric features about textile material effects can be simulated.
