  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ANIMATING HAIR WITH RESOLUTION INDEPENDENT FIBER DEFORMATION
    Publication number: 20240144567
    Abstract: A method for animating fibers in a computer-based animation process, the method comprises: obtaining a fiber cache comprising a plurality of fibers, each of the plurality of fibers comprising a plurality of fiber vertices; obtaining one or more guides, each of the one or more guides comprising a plurality guide vertices; and determining binding information to bind the one or more guides to the fiber cache. Determining the binding information comprises, for each fiber of the fiber cache: associating the fiber with one or more nearby guides; and, for each of the one or more associated nearby guides: associating each fiber vertex with a nearby guide vertex; and determining, for each fiber vertex, a displacement vector between the fiber vertex and the associated nearby guide vertex.
