Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the bending energy metric E(νi) is given by an equation of the form:

E(νi)=(|{right arrow over (νι)}−{right arrow over (νι)}′)−LO)2Ai   (2)

wherein: {right arrow over (νι)} is the location of the ith cloth vertex νi; {right arrow over (νι)}′ is an average of the locations of the cloth vertices that are neighbors to the ith cloth vertex νi; LO is a desired distance between {right arrow over (νι)} and {right arrow over (νι)}′; and Ai corresponds to an area of the cloth triangles that include the ith cloth vertex νi.
