We demonstrate a physically based technique for producing draping simulations of a variety of woven fabrics. Our approach employs an interacting-particle model based on the microstructure of woven cloth, rather than using a continuum approx imation. Empirical data from a fabric testing device are used to tune energy functions within the model. We describe the model, how we convert the fabric test data to energy functions, and two experiments we conducted to evaluate the approach. The first experiment produces nonlinear mechanical data from the model. The second exper iment compares photographs of three different kinds of draping cloth with visualizations of simulation results. The experiments show that we are able to reliably recover quan titative mechanical information from the model and to reproduce the unique large- scale draping characteristics of a range of fabrics.
