Summary
Cloth deformation animations are in high demand in the creation of digital content such as games and movies. Physics-based simulation is often used to create animations of cloth, allowing for mechanically valid deformations. However, simulation of the artist’s desired shape changes requires appropriate values for various parameters that describe the cloth and environment. It is not easy to intuitively understand how this affects the animation.
Cloaks, in particular, are strongly affected by wind, and their shape can change dramatically. Therefore, a scene in which a cloak waves in the wind is an important element in creating a sense of dynamism.
This research proposes a method to generate an animation of a cloak rippling in the wind based on the parameter values entered by the user.
