We present a new discretization for the physics-based animation of developable surfaces. Constrained to not deform at all in-plane but free to bend out-of-plane, these are an excellent approximation for many materials, including most cloth, paper, and stiffer materials. Unfortunately … Continue reading →

Recently, many techniques using computational fluid dynamics have been proposed for the simulation of natural phenomena such as smoke and fire. Traditionally, a single grid is used for computing the motion of fluids. When an object interacts with a fluid, … Continue reading →

From Erwin Coumans: Bullet 2.68 adds rope, cloth, deformable volumes interacting with rigid bodies, and officlal iPhone SDK support. See http://bulletphysics.com for more info, download precompiled Windows and Mac OSX demos and iPhone video.
