Cloth Simulation

Developed in C++ and OpenGL, this real-time simulation employs a Mass-Spring System approach for realistic cloth dynamics, inspired by the paper "Fast Simulation of Mass-Spring Systems" by Liu et al. Alongside this, the project leverages OpenMP and OpenCL for efficient parallelization and integrates advanced rendering techniques such as Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) and Image-Based Lighting (IBL) to enhance the visual realism of the simulated cloth, and an HDR skybox for a dynamic, immersive sky.

Features

Graphics and Rendering:

• Powered by OpenGL, the project offers advanced graphics rendering capabilities.
• Utilized Physically-Based Rendering (PBR) techniques for lifelike shading and materials, resulting in realistic interactions of light and shadow on the cloth.
• Enhanced visual fidelity with Image-Based Lighting, providing accurate reflections and illumination.
• Shadow Mapping for dynamic, realistic shadows, enhancing the 3D appearance of the cloth.
• Fog Rendering adds atmospheric depth, contributing to the scene's realism.
• HDR Skyboxes create immersive and dynamic backgrounds, augmenting the overall visual experience.

Cloth Simulation:

• Implemented a Mass-Spring System algorithm, inspired by the "Fast Simulation of Mass-Spring Systems" paper, for fast and accurate simulation of cloth physics.
• Integrated OpenMP for efficient parallelization of cloth physics computations, significantly improving performance.
• Utilized OpenCL for parallelization of collision detection and collision handling algorithms.
• Offers customizable parameters such as stiffness, damping, and mass, enabling diverse cloth behaviors and properties.
• Realistic collision detection and response ensure accurate interactions between the cloth and other objects.

Environmental Effects:

• An HDR Skybox is used for a dynamic and immersive sky.
• Atmospheric fog effects are implemented, adding depth and a captivating ambiance to the scene.
• Real-time lighting effects, including adjustable light positions and intensities, enhance the realism of the cloth simulation.
