A new collision detection algorithm for garment animation

This paper presents a new technique for collision detection between fabric and fabric or fabric and body, applied on our physical-based fabric drape model. The technique can produce a realistic 3D virtual fashion show based on fabric mechanical properties and has the ability to handle the collision of clothing with an animated synthetic human. The collision technique appeared efficient and reliable when dealing with complex cases of fabric deformation. A full implementation of the drape model, collision detection with an animated human model is also described and discussed.
