Fast Cloth Simulation with Parallel Computers

Parallel Algorithm for Fast Cloth Simulation

Fast and stable cloth simulation based on multi-resolution shape matching

We present an efficient and unconditionally stable method which allows the deformation of very complex stiff cloth models in real-time. This method is based on a shape matching approach which uses edges and triangles as 1D and 2D regions to simulate stretching and shearing resistance. Previous shape matching approaches require large overlapping regions to simulate stiff materials. This unfortun...

CAMA: Contact-Aware Matrix Assembly with Unified Collision Handling for GPU-based Cloth Simulation

We present a novel GPU-based approach to robustly and efficiently simulate high-resolution and complexly layered cloth. The key component of our formulation is a parallelized matrix assembly algorithm that can quickly build a large and sparse matrix in a compressed format and accurately solve linear systems on GPUs. We also present a fast and integrated solution for parallel collision handling,...

Fast Body-Cloth simulation with moving humanoids

In this paper we present a very fast method for body-cloth animation. The usual bottle-neck in cloth simulation performance is collision detection, which becomes more difficult to solve when a complex geometry, like a human body, is involved. Recent image based methods, that use depth images to detect collisions, usually relays on CPU for collision correction. In our work we implement a GPU bas...

A Parallel Cloth Simulator Using Multilevel Algorithms

Certain aspects of a computer-generated world have always been difficult to simulate. Cloth is one such example since, unlike a rigid object, it is flexible and subject to many internal and external forces which drive the fabric into a natural form. As a consequence of these difficulties, realistic simulations demand a significant computational cost, which makes parallel computing highly advant...
