This the sample application that accompanies the May 99

Game Developer magazine. It is meant as a demonstration of

a method for 3D cloth simulation in OpenGL.



Cloth simulation is a very complex process. This column and

demo just scratches the surface. It is simply a way of building

a form of cloth using the mass and spring system from last

month. It is sort of a macro function (CreateClothPatch in OGLView.cpp)

that builds all the various springs and attaches them.

There are many places it can be improved and modified.
