Existing self-supervised approaches struggle to capture moisture-induced dynamics such as skin adhesion, anisotropic surface resistance, and non-linear wrinkling, leading to limited accuracy and efficiency. To address this, we present SHGS, a novel self-supervised framework for humidity-controllable clothing simulation grounded in the physical modeling of capillary bridges that form between fabric and skin. We abstract the forces induced by wetness into two physically motivated components: a normal adhesive force derived from Laplace pressure and a tangential shear-resistance force that opposes relative motion along the fabric surface. By formulating these forces as potential energy for conservative effects and as mechanical work for non-conservative effects, we construct a physics-consistent wetness loss. This enables self-supervised training without requiring labeled data of wet clothing. Our humidity-sensitive dynamics are driven by a multi-layer graph neural network, which facilitates a smooth and physically realistic transition between different moisture levels. This architecture decouples the garment's dynamics in wet and dry states through a local weight interpolation mechanism, adjusting the fabric's behavior in response to varying humidity conditions. Experiments demonstrate that SHGS outperforms existing methods in both visual fidelity and computational efficiency, marking a significant advancement in realistic wet-cloth simulation.CCS Concepts: Computing methodologies → AnimationComputing methodologies → Animation10.1111/cgf.7023610 pages
