Resolution independent curved seams in clothing animation using a regular particle grid
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
We present a method for representing seams in clothing animation, and its application
in simulation level of detail. Specifically we consider cloth represented as a regular
grid of particles connected by spring-dampers, ...
