From Mesh To Yarn... In Real Time! 🧶

2030: Dear fellow scholars this is two minute papers with Dr. Károly Zsolnai-Fehér today we have a full universe simulation at subatomic detail! what a time to be alive, but hold on to your papers because unlike the method we covered last year this new method runs at real time

I am a textile designer with an interest(and a bit of a background) in robotics and computation so this is right up my alley. A designer named Hanifa presented a 3G gen runway show last year and could see this hyperrealism driving innovation in that area. Look up her show, it is incredible!

[@grapesandsand3816]

This really looks like a dream! I love the return of those tiny holes and bumps, and real time simulation is insane. The only problems I see now are even smaller details like the holes at the seams of the sock in 2:50, the edge yarn seemingly being held by nothing, the light simulation mentioned at 4:04, and I do fear yarn overlapping or snapping at 0:22. There's no doubt those will be fixed 2 papers down the line though, if the huge improvement seen in this paper is anything to go by.

[@vocassen]

Another "problem" is that the simulation is a standard mesh based simulation and the yarns are just visual, which results in the harsh transitions at 2:15. So it's absolutely great for realtime stuff, at the cost of an actual yarn simulation, so not entirely fair to compare to full yarn simulations.

[@CaptainUltimaFTW]

Oh my! I honestly can't wait to see what people do with this real-time yarn... I mean when your in the fractions of a millisecond you have a lot of flexibility to work with!! Awesome paper!

[@thedofflin]

Amazing. This is going to make CG movies even better, I don't think any games are going to use this intensive rendering of realistic mesh/ cloth anytime soon.

[@punpcklbw]

It boggles my mind how game-changing it could turn out if someone can implement all these amazing techniques in an actual game product. Character animations have always avoided stuff like putting on/off clothes in games due to various technical issues making the realistic and robust cloth simulation unfeasible on typical hardware. Looks like this is about to change in the following years.

[@arieloxsandoval]

wish games developers had a team to do this, like "GTA V now runs in the integrated graphic card" or something

[@YOEL_44]

You can already run GTA V in iGPUs. Simulations can do trickery, aproximation, or even be skipped completelly for an AI interpretation, but games need some level of consistency and some adjustable "rules" to be fair towards players, and graphics just need to come from somewhere, nowadays you have DLSS but that doesn't replace classic rendering methods, just increases high frequency details of low res images to fake our eyes.

[@Beregorn88]

I can't avoid to notice the conspicuous lack of comparison with the yarn-based simulation...

[@markosz22]

I'm sure the results aren't exactly like the simulation that takes days to compute, but seeing how it runs real time and offers better results than the previous method which didn't have any yarn simulation and still ran for hours, I'd say it's pretty impressive, it's not something to scoff at.

[@heinrichwonders8861]

A-MA-ZING!

[@juliandarley]

very nice. i wonder if the algorithm can be applied to something made in marvelous designer? also, the authors mention that they get these impressive results on just a GTX 1080Ti (and i7-7820X) - this is probably less than many gamers have in their desktop machines (this is a guess - i do not have scientific proof!).

[@philipegoulet448]

You can refer to the steam hardware survey for an insight of the hardware distribution of steam users! I think many is accurate, but far from the majority still!

[@juliandarley]

@@philipegoulet448 good idea, thanks!

[@Andytlp]

1080ti and 7820x is still very much top of the line. To slightly beat a 1080ti youd need an rtx 3060 from 2021.

[@juliandarley]

@@Andytlp at least 3060s are available now. suggestions for something better than 7820x (but still at a very reasonable price - eg. secondhand 7820x can be less than £150) would be welcomed. perhaps AMD?

[@li_tsz_fung]

@@Andytlp If the chip shortage goes away, by the time this method is actually implemented in games, it should not be a huge problem. And devs are not putting that highly detailed clothes into games soon

[@zetathix]

Now modeling those cloths would be harder than simulate them

[@Joshua-ew6ks]

So when does this technique get integrated into some like Blender?

[@Tramontano_T]

Just a quick question: when they give the time needed to compute each frame, thats hardware dependant right? Which hardware are they using?

[@theneonbop]

I think you would probably have to spend a while trying to modify their code to get it to work in blender or a modern game engine. I'm not an expert either though so I am not certain. Edit: it says "Our method can add yarn-level details onto any deforming triangle mesh: examples in this paper use deforming cloth meshes from ArcSim [Narain et al. 2013, 2012], position-based dynamics [Müller et al. 2007], and Blender [2020]." It sounds like you can export a basic cloth sim from blender and use their code to give it yarn details
