Abstract
Methods and an apparatus allow animators to control the extent by which scripted character motions affect simulated objects' motions. The simulated objects are connected to the character or non-simulated object, such as clothing or hair, and the motion of the simulated objects is simulated based on the motion of the character or non-simulated object. Pose-based collision flypapering is employed to yield the proper behavior of simulated objects when those objects are pinched by surface regions of the character and/or other collision objects. In response to the pinching, a surface region is selected from the surface regions causing the pinching. Motion and position of the simulated object may be constrained to the selected surface region.
