Abstract
A computer-implemented method for processing a set of virtual fibers into a set of clusters of virtual fibers, usable for manipulation on a cluster basis in a computer graphics generation system, may include determining aspects for virtual fibers in the set of virtual fibers, determining similarity scores between the virtual fibers based on their aspects, and determining an initial cluster comprising the virtual fibers of the set of virtual fibers. The method may further include instantiating a cluster list in at least one memory, adding the initial cluster to the cluster list, partitioning the initial cluster into a first subsequent cluster and a second subsequent cluster based on similarity scores among fibers in the initial cluster, adding the first subsequent cluster and the second subsequent cluster to the cluster list, and testing whether a number of clusters in the cluster list is below a predetermined threshold.
