Abstract

This paper describes some developments in techniques for the visualization of the shapes of cloth materials when suspended at given points or draped over a rigid surface. The material is modelled by a set of energy equations, which takes the bending constant, density, elasticity, diagonal-to-axial strength ratio, and rigidity into account. The material will be in an equilibrium state when the energy is a minimum. The work described extends existing methods by employing a more efficient energy minimization technique and by reducing directional errors of the relaxation process. The technique has been implemented for a PC in the C language and generates data in a standard format suitable for display on commercial rendering software packages.
