Claim 5:
6. The method of claim 5 comprising determining a normal vector {right arrow over (n)}i to the plane that is tangent to the collision object at the point (pi) and wherein requiring that the cloth vertex (νi) does not cross the plane that is tangent to the collision object at the point (pi) comprises imposing an inequality constraint of the form:

({right arrow over (ν)}i−{right arrow over (p)}i)·{right arrow over (n)}i≥0.   (7)

wherein: {right arrow over (ν)}i is a position of the cloth vertex (νi); {right arrow over (p)}i is a position of the point (pi) on the collision object; and {right arrow over (n)}i to the plane that is tangent to the collision object at the point (pi).
