Abstract

A new technique for modelling clothing is described in which the cloth layer is closely associated with the shape of the underlying flesh layer. The position of fold lines are determined on the basis of the distances between the layers. Folds are generated along the fold lines using a modified sinusoidal function. In contrast with techniques which are based on the physical properties of the material, the technique is fast and yet produces visually acceptable results. The technique has been incorporated within the GEOFF interactive editor which allows the user considerable control over fold generation.
