Cloth Simulation

anyone know how to code for cloth simulation like u can see in most latest game (especially Prince of Persia)?

There's cloth simulation in Prince of Persia? Damn, I really have to check that game out.

But, er, you refer to "most" new games. What games have cloth simulation? While it has been a little while since I grabbed a new game, I've never seen cloth simulation in a game. Unless someone knows a super optimzation trick, the minor visual improvement of cloth simulation is not worth the CPU hit.

ninja turtles...
onimusha 3...
Shinobi...
more...

I'd use Tokamak to build a sort of 'linked grid' and match them to each vertex on the cloth. You could then set the 'stiffness' of the cloth by limiting the joints etc.

It's pretty simple!

fredborg: thanks so much for that tutorial! :) you got any other physics tutorials? id like to try verlet simulation - seems simple but im just curious what points i should take into mind before i start work on it.

Nice verlet tut -> http://www.ioi.dk/Homepages/thomasj/publications/gdc2001.htm

This is the one that I, miracle, andreas_blixt, and probably others used to make their verlet systems.

Hugo elias also has alot of other interesting tutorials:

Check out models. that's what you are probably lokkin for.

Well here an example of a verlet system, i can't remember who did it(it doesn't say anywhere in the source) or where i downloaded it, so here you go: http://www.somethingelsesoft.com/verlet3d-1.15.zip
