ÐThis paper discusses the self-collision avoidance problem in simulating the dynamic behavior of deformable cloth. It is not an easy task to simulate realistically the response of cloth in various types of complicated self-collisions. In this paper, the bounding box technique in addition to ordinary prechecking for collision detection is used to avoid self-collision. Instead of avoiding self-co...

An analysis of one of the approaches to cloth modeling is carried out in this paper. The real 3D structure of the cloth at micro level is considered and the lighting simulation with the accuracy control is provided. The simulation result in BSDF form is a full description of optical properties of the cloth sample. It allows us to produce the “far view” of the cloth accurately and fast.

Realistic simulation and manipulation of virtual cloth based on energy minimization techniques require higher computations. A model realizing force as well as shape to manipulate the virtual cloth demands even more computational cost. Mesh resolution of cloth has a great effect on the computational cost of cloth simulation. Therefore, granularity of mesh must be chosen in a manner that represen...

ZnO nanorods and ZnO@CdS heterostructures have been fabricated on carbon fiber cloth substrates via hydrothermal and electrochemical deposition. Their photocatalytic properties were investigated by measuring the degradation of methylene blue under ultraviolet light irradiation. The result illustrated that the photodegradation efficiency of ZnO@CdS heterostructures was better than that of pure Z...

PdCo nanotube arrays (NTAs) supported on carbon fiber cloth (CFC) (PdCo NTAs/CFC) are presented as high-performance flexible electrocatalysts for ethanol oxidation. The fabricated flexible PdCo NTAs/CFC exhibits significantly improved electrocatalytic activity and durability compared with Pd NTAs/CFC and commercial Pd/C catalysts. Most importantly, the PdCo NTAs/CFC shows excellent flexibility ...

The animation and rendering of crowds of realistically clothed characters presents a difficult challenge in computer graphics, which is further exacerbated when real-time frame rates are required. To date, due to real-time constraints, standard skinning methods have been used to animate the clothes of individuals in real-time crowds, which does not create the appropriate secondary motion for fl...

Any cloth simulation system needs efficient numerical methods for integrating the equations that describe the mechanical behavior of the discrete representation of the cloth. Choosing the adequate method should be done with full knowledge of the advantages and weaknesses of the main techniques. This paper presents a quantitative comparison of the efficiency of the most common integration techni...
