Data-driven Technique Created by Carnegie Mellon and
Berkeley Researchers Will Improve Real-time Animation of Complex Phenomena
It would be impossible to compute all of the ways a piece of
cloth might shift, fold and drape over a moving human figure. But after six
months of computation, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the
University of California, Berkeley, are pretty sure they've simulated almost every
important configuration of that cloth.
"I believe our approach generates the most beautiful
and realistic cloth of any real-time technique," said Adrien Treuille,
associate professor of computer science and robotics at Carnegie Mellon.
