Dynamic Wrinkling on Coarsely Meshed Cloth

Abstract

We present a technique for simulating detailed cloth dynamics on coarse meshes at interactive rates. Building on the wrinkle parameterization introduced by [CCK*21], we introduce a dynamics model for a cloth sheet represented as a superposition of a base surface and a wrinkle distribution parameterized by spatially varying amplitude and frequency. Our model incorporates two‐way coupling of the base surface and the wrinkle parameters, allowing the base deformation to drive emergence of wrinkles and permitting compression of the base surface in turn. To deform the mesh using the computed wrinkle parameters, we also introduce a simple phase reconstruction strategy that produces dynamically evolving, temporally coherent wrinkles on the simulated mesh.
