The cloth is a simple grid of 13x13 nodes, each node connected to its neighbors by three different types of springs (structural, shear, and flexion). The cloth is initially suspended in air, and each end gets detached by a programmed keystroke. The node position is determined by the influence of the internal spring forces, the gravity and the wind. And lastly, the simulation is based on the leap-frog numerical integration method, slightly a higher order of accuracy than the Euler. <br> There're many features that could be added to improve the system, like adding a few more user-interaction GUI controls for the spring constants and the integration timestep size, as well as improving the lighting and rendering aspects. <br> Over all, it was a fun and rewarding exercise which kept me occupied for a few days. <br><br> January 2010<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5482423606557454711-5322461166224351407?l=whitecoquelicot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10112549457300232202noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482423606557454711.post-74265615819686266332009-12-06T12:28:00.001+01:002009-12-06T12:28:00.553+01:00<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/4162839228/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2608/4162839228_39974c7f1b.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/4162839228/">The Cat of Chabeuil</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/joannal/">whitecoquelicot</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> Chabeuil, France<br />November 2009</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5482423606557454711-7426561581968626633?l=whitecoquelicot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10112549457300232202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482423606557454711.post-80826206726144473982009-11-23T14:31:00.002+01:002009-11-23T15:07:30.482+01:00<div class='post-header-line1'></div> <div class='post-body entry-content'> <p> <table border="0" bordercolor="#336699" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/4128080290/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2687/4128080290_d466fc644f.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" style="border: 1px solid rgb(130, 130, 130);" height="300"/></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/4128080052" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2675/4128080052_50e3f760e7.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" style="border: 1px solid rgb(130, 130, 130);" height="300"/></a> </td> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/4123752423/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2571/4123752423_fc086df89d.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" style="border: 1px solid rgb(130, 130, 130);" width="200"/></a> </td> <td> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/4124561216/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2605/4124561216_d8f9c58fd2.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" style="border: 1px solid rgb(130, 130, 130);" height="300"/></a> </td> </tr> </table> <p> On our drive back from Provence, we discovered this lively winter market in a small town called <a href="http://www.saou.net/Saou">Saoû</a>, perched on the highest <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncline">syncline</a> in Europe.

The next particle physics experiment named <a href="http://public.web.cern.ch/public/en/LHC/ATLAS-en.html">ATLAS</a> is scheduled for launch this November-December, in which they will try the proton-proton collision. They say the results from this experiment will give insight into the origin of mass, dark matter, and black holes. Exciting nerdy matter.

You can read more about it <a href="http://www.unige.ch/450/expositions/faces.html">here</a>.<br /><br />One disturbing thing to notice is that all the blue screens portray women and the reddish-yellow screens portray men. They obviously hint at the lack of women scholars by the numerous empty blue screens. Incredibly, this idea was proposed by " le Secteur de l’égalité de l’UNIGE" (Equal rights department of the university). Swiss still has a long way to go above the gender discrimination.<br /><br />Uni Dufour <br />Genève, CH<br />Août 2009</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5482423606557454711-4075978909215450340?l=whitecoquelicot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10112549457300232202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482423606557454711.post-88717207326055805752009-09-03T10:01:00.002+02:002009-09-03T10:02:23.349+02:00<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000;

We hired a taxi driver for the day, to take us to two different sections of the wall: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simatai">Simatai</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jinshanling">Jinshaling</a>, which are about 130km northeast from the center of Beijing. With our taxi driver skilled at passing every car that was on his way, be it windy and narrow, we could fit the visit in one day, despite having had to hold onto our lives with the broken seat belts.<br /><br />Pictured here is the Jinshaling section of the Great Wall which was surprisingly deserted of tourists. There was one local who seemed to be collecting plastic bottles from the trashcans in each watch tower. Who knows how many miles he has been walking all day?<br /><br />Looking at what seems to be a never-ending stretches of the wall across ranges of mountains really does make one feel so small, awed at the work of human hands that have built it thousands of years ago. <br /><br />Beijing, China<br />July 2009</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5482423606557454711-2852828202214468005?l=whitecoquelicot.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10112549457300232202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482423606557454711.post-84718286269694226402009-07-23T07:35:00.004+02:002009-07-23T10:29:59.466+02:00<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/3748162375/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2498/3748162375_1063048046.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joannal/3747868511/">Peacock cycling</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/joannal/">adelie</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> We attended this amazing acrobatic show at the Chaoyang theater in Beijing.
