To this end, we extend the oriented particles approach to incorporate animation information. In addition, we introduce techniques to increase the stability of the original method in order to make it suitable for the fast and sudden motions that typically occur in computer games. We also propose a method for the semi-automatic creation of particle representations from arbitrary visual meshes. This way, our technique allows us to simulate complex geometry such as hair, thick cloth with ornaments and multi-layered clothing, all interacting with each other and the animated character.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): Computer Graphics [I.3.5]: Computational Geometry and Object Modeling, Physically Based Modeling - Computer Graphics [I.3.7]: Three-Dimensional Graphics and Realism, Animation - Simulation and Modeling [I.6.8]: Type of Simulation, Animation, Keywords: natural phenomena, physically based animation
