Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Written by leaders in the field of computer clothing design and simulation, Cloth Modeling and Animation is a vital resource for researchers and developers of cloth simulation software as well as computer animators and graphics programmers. Readers will learn about cloth's nature and structure, scientific approaches to understanding its behavior and look, and the latest modeling and simulation techniques for automatically animating cloth on the computer.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
