Real-time Animation Technique for Flexible and Thin Objects
In this paper, we propose an e cient technique for the animation of exible thin objects. Massspring model was employed to represent the exible objects. Many techniques have used the mass-spring model to generate plausible animation of soft objects. The easiest approach to animation with mass-spring model is explicit Euler method, but the explicit Euler method has serious disadvantage that it su ers from `instability problem'. The implicit integration method is a possible solution to overcome the instability problem. However, the most critical aw of the implicit method is that it involves a large linear system. This paper presents a fast animation technique for mass-spring model with approximated implicit method. The proposed technique stably updates the state of n mass-points in O(n) time when the number of total springs are O(n). We also consider the interaction of the exible object and air in order to generate plausible results.
