Abstract
A technique for position based dynamics constrains deformation of triangles within a simulation mesh configured to model a cloth object. The constraints comprise at least a weft, warp, and shear constraint per triangle within the simulation mesh. A non-rigid shear constraint yields realistic cloth dynamics while avoiding locking within the simulation mesh. The technique may be implemented in real-time or batch simulation environments.
