Abstract

Some embodiments of the present disclosure disclose systems and methods for computing frictional contacts of topologically different bodies in a graphical system. For a large number of fibers interacting, such as hair, interacting with one or more other bodies having different properties, the problem may be decomposed into an elastic relaxation part and a contact projection part, which may be solved to yield velocities for portions of objects, providing efficient, realistic interactions.
