In this paper, we present a physically based model for curtain real-time animation, which not only significantly reduces the time of rendering, but also maintains visually appealing results. Our simplified hanging cloth’s model is represented as a grid object composed of mass points connected by semi-rigid rods whose behavior is governed by non-rigid dynamics. The longitudinal (vertical) and latitudinal (horizontal) directions of our model are decoupled and processed separately, and later combined to generate the final cloth
