Imitation of Fabric Flagging Based on Amplitude Modulation

A model-independent 3 - D texture synthesis ofphysical and stochastic algorithms, based on an amplitudemodulation method, is presented to realize 3 - D fabricdynamic simulation. The physical functions are built tosimulate fabric basic deformation. The stochasticfunctions, generated by Perlin noise, are used to simulatefabric natural motion in the wind. The two kinds offunctions are synthesized by method of amplitudemodulation. As the arithmetic uses stochastic functions instead of recursive algorithm, it is capable of simulating thefabric material, the wind force and direction in real-time.Given the fabric material and wind strength, thestochastic functions can be created to simulate fabricmotion in the wind and this model can be adjusted bycontrolling some certain parameters to achieve a goodsimulation effect. This method is conceptually intuitive,computationally fast and efficient. Furthermore, thecombination of fabric physical and statistic motioncharacteristics provides an attractive way to improve thedisplay effect and rate.
