I second Jim's comments Delivered-To: dfarber+@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx X-Sender: jwarren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Sat, 8 May 2004 10:22:06 -0700 To: allison@xxxxxxxxxxxx From: Jim Warren <jwarren@xxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: [CSL Colloq] Controlling Digital Cloth * 4:15PM, Wed May 12, 2004 in Gates B03 Hey Dennis! -- Thanks for keeping me on the EE380 announcement list.However ... I'm surprised -- and almost "appalled" -- that you would give in to such an outrageous repression of the access to and openness of this "covert" presentation ... in a long-standing forum that is SUPPOSED to represent the BEST in open discourse and academic freedom.

It's even more appalling, assuming that you have non-local EE380 *students*, ENROLLED to take it as a telecourse!
Other'n that, hope allz well with you 'n' yours. :-) --jim At 9:03 PM -0700 5/7/04, allison@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:

Topic: Controlling Digital Cloth
Speaker: Ari Rapkin
Industrial Light + Magic
About the talk:
Over the last few years, cloth simulation has become a major tool
for creating believable visual effects. Computer generated
characters wear complex clothing, sports arenas are draped with
banners and flags, and non-cloth items like hair, wings, and
plastic bags can be simulated with the same numerical methods.
The physics behind these simulations is improving every year, and
it's possible to achieve superb fidelity. However, when making a
