Modeling and animation of cloth has experienced important developments in recent years. As a consequence, complex textile models can be used to realistically drape objects or human characters in a fairly efficient way. However, real-time realistic simulation remains a major challenge, even if applications are numerous, from rapid prototyping to e-commerce. In this paper, we present a stable, re...

Animating in real-time complex and realistic virtual garments on top of an animated character is a long-standing challenge in the computer graphics field. Animated garments are subject to large dynamic deformations, exhibiting complex wrinkling patterns related to their length preserving behavior and multiple, long-lasting contacts with the underlying body. One of the most complex cloth animati...

Introduction My PhD research focuses on the social context of cloth from the Neolithic to Bronze Age with case studies from the Alpine area. One aspect of this is the interrelationship of the technologies used to create flexible, thin sheets of material that can be wrapped, folded, shaped and tied. This includes fibre-based cloth such as textiles, netting and twining as well as animal skins (le...

Adinkra and kente cloth have changed significantly in the course of their history first as markers of Asante royal power and then of Ghanaian cultural distinction. Once handmade and reserved for the exclusive use of the Asante ruler, cheap mass-produced reproductions now proliferate in Ghanaian markets. In attempting to use intellectual property law to regulate their appropriation, the Ghanaian...

Given a virtual garment model on a reference human model, we propose an automated 3D garment fitting system that fits the garment model to a target human model. The proposed method can transfer garment models between human models without any user guidance even when the reference and target human models have different poses. Our goal is not to resize or deform the original garment model accordin...

A common operation in clothing and shoe design is to design a folding pattern over a narrow strip and then superimpose it with a smooth surface; the shape of the folding pattern is controlled by the boundary curve of the strip. Previous research results studying folds focused mostly on cloth modeling or in animations, which are driven more by visual realism, but allow large elastic deformations...

Shape as well as force is required to represent the cloth in virtual environment. A model, based on the cost functions, realizes the shape together with force by using physical data obtained from Kawabata Evaluation System. However, cost/ energy minimization technique is very slow that restricts the increase of mesh density. Some of previous work has employed the adaptive refinement in this reg...

Today most cloth simulation systems use triangular mesh models. However, regular grids allow many optimizations as connectivity is implicit, warp and weft directions of the cloth are aligned to grid edges and distances between particles are equal. In this paper we introduce a cloth simulation that combines both model types. All operations that are performed on the CPU use a low-resolution trian...

Physically based simulation of cloth in virtual environments is a computationally demanding problem. It involves modeling the internal material properties of the textile (physical modeling) and also treating interactions with the surrounding scene (collision handling). In this paper, we present an approach to parallel cloth simulation designed for distributed memory parallel architectures, part...

The most widely used technique to clean the objectives of a microscope, especially the 100X objective, involves wiping out of immersion oil from the same and its surrounding mount by a piece of lens paper or a soft piece of clean cotton cloth followed by a cloth dampened with small amount of xylol. The oil immersion objective is then dried immediately and cleaned with lens paper. Objectives sho...
