This is the Chapter7 ReadingNotes from book Computer Animation_ Algorithms and Techniques_ Parent-Elsevier (2012).
For our example of cloth, instead of specifying where wrinkles might go and the movement of individual vertices, the animator would merely be able to set parameters that indicate the type and thickness of the cloth material.
