Improved fast fabric appearance simulation algorithm

In order to improve the efficiency of fabric appearance simulation algorithm,an improved fast algorithm of fabric appearance simulation was put forward.We improved the yarn model,and established a buckling illumination model based on fabric floats by using polygon depth-buffer algorithm of computer graphics,in combination with the reflective trait of yarn and the effects of fabric floats.Finally,utilizing image technology,the simulated fabric has a stronger true sense.The results of experiment show that the algorithm which uses methods of 2-D images reaches the purpose of 3-D simulation,greatly reduces operational complexity and enhances efficiency.
