Abstract: This paper describes a message-based object-oriented tool for exploring mathematically-based interactions which produce complex motions for computer animation. The tool has been implemented as an object in the object-oriented computer animation system The Clockworks. It supports the definition of complex interactions between geometric objects through the specification of messages to the interacting objects. Our approach is general, flexible and powerful. The tool itself is not hardcoded to a particular application. It simply sends the messages specifies by the user. Messages are specified as strings which may be stored, modified and interpreted. Since the tool is part of the Clockworks it may utilize many of the powerful features of the system, including data structuring, mathematical, geometric modeling, and rendering objects. The tool has been used to explore a general spring and mass model, and the response of objects in a vector field.(AGD)

A particle-based model for simulating the draping behavior of woven cloth
TL;DR: In this article, a model of woven cloth that is capable of reproducing the draping behavior of a variety of fabrics is presented, where the model treats the thread crossing as the fundamental modeling unit, which is called a particle.

TL;DR: The important aspects of design and implementation are discussed, such as the timetable like structure of programs, the embedding of a message mechanism into the language, animation data types and their application, concurrent execution and local time, and recompilation of an animation specified interactively into a script.
