Patent ID: 8599196

Claim:
A method for generating a computer rendered cloth, wherein the method is executed on a computer configured to display graphic data, comprising the method steps of: storing a cloth rendering matrix comprising nodes and anti-nodes interconnected such that they represent a repeated pattern of interconnected projecting and receding regions, wherein each receding region comprising four triangular polygons interconnected at a peak of the receding region to form the anti-node of the receding region, wherein each projecting region comprising eight triangular polygons interconnected at a peak of the projecting region to form the node of the projecting region, wherein said four triangular polygons of said receding region are shared with the projecting regions to form said eight triangular polygons of said projecting regions; loading cloth modeling data including at least one physical cloth modeling property; and creating a target cloth model via at least one processor by applying the at least one physical cloth modeling property to the cloth rendering matrix, wherein said target cloth model comprises folds formed by said interconnected nodes and anti-nodes.
