By leveraging research in cloth dynamics and building from established mathematical algorithms, the proposed process realistically drives detailed vegetation with minimal computation. A method of dimensionally separate semi-implicit solvers allows quick reaction to not only simple force fields, such as wind and gravity, but also hard collisions against solid obstacles.
