  • Patent number: 8823703
    Abstract: A system, method and computer software program on a computer readable medium for loading cloth modeling data, generating an environmental model, generating a basic cloth model, and generating sections of a cloth surface model based on the basic cloth model and the cloth modeling data. The sections of the cloth surface model may be partial geometric forms, a portion of a ball and stick model or a non-uniform rational basis spline, and may be joined together and smoothed to form a complex cloth model. The smoothed cloth model may include a series of waves or folds in a computer rendered cloth surface to represent draped or compressed cloth on a three dimensional surface.
    Type: Grant
