Verlet Integration

[Teezer]

Check out this cloth physics demo , then click through to the description of Verlet Integration on Wikipedia.

The formulas given are Greek to me, but can anyone tell if this sort of thing could be implemented in Ruby?

Cool stuff! And you can manipulate it with the mouse as well

[kwistenbiebel]

Very cool!
If a web based flash app can do this....Sketchup should definitely be capable of handling a plugin like that?
Just a static drape tool would be fine thank you

Another vote for a cloth draping tool, please

Theres a good paper on it here: http://teknikus.dk/tj/gdc2001.htm if anyone fancies reading in to it a bit more.
