Abstract

An image generator generates images of a set of virtual fibers and effects thereon by processing representations of the set of fibers and computing representation of a virtual surface for a fiber clump in the set of virtual fibers from an artist parameter representing a desired artist effect, computing correlations of the vertices from a set of vertices based on associations of the vertices corresponding to the artist parameter, computing a set of relevant vertices using the correlations of the vertices, computing orthogonal gradients to produce a plurality of gradients using a selected vertex and the set of relevant vertices for the fiber clump, and computing the virtual surface of the fiber clump from the plurality of gradients.
