Abstract This article extends our previously published technique that allows several layers of clothing to be placed and animated over an articulated character by using implicit ellipsoidal muscles to generate a scalar field and placing each layer of clothing on a separate isosurface, thereby avoiding the use of any collision detection calculations between the different layers. The method is first extended to a class of characters that include a surface skin generated by a commercial animation package. A second extension combines isosurface placement with physically based methods. These extensions afford increased realism while retaining the performance obtained by using isosurfaces.
