Integrating deformations between bodies and clothes

In this paper, we present a framework for both skin and cloth deformation. Traditionally, skin and cloth deformations are managed by a non-unified strategy although the skin interacts on clothes and vice versa. In general, the skin is considered as a rigid surface on which the clothes have no effect. We propose in this paper a unified approach for cloth and body deformation. Our system is able to handle both skin and cloth deformation with collision response. These deformations are managed with a particle system. The skin deformation model is a hybrid model, where deformation due to the skeleton motion is controlled geometrically, and where the collision response is handled by a physical-based model. In case of collision among skin and clothes, a reaction and friction forces are applied on both skin and cloth to avoid penetration. Copyright # 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
