This paper presents an efficient and expressive cloth simulation method based on geometrical measurement and mesh deformation for obtaining realistic cloth shapes with various fabric materials. Geometrical measurement can measure the geometric material properties including recovery, stretching and bending of different real cloth behaviors. In accordance with these three geometric properties, three energy terms related to the vertex position, edge length and dihedral angle are embedded into the functional energy optimization model based on differential mesh deformation. The corresponding weights for the three energy terms are learned from the measured data with real cloth. The solution to the energy optimization can be obtained by a numerical solution in the least square sense. Using the weight settings and numerical optimization can simulate realistic cloth behaviors. Experimental results show that the presented method can effectively provide realistic cloth effects with various materials.
