What is the purpose of my research?
- To get the knowledge and skills to actually create what i plan to create.
- To be able to write an informed requirements analysis for the application.
- To be able to document the learning process in the project write-up.
See What's Out There
For my initial research i am simply going to see what's already been done in the field. The goal being a good understanding of the fundamentals (if they exist!) in simulating cloth, and a good overall feel for what's possible, what's been tried, what works, what doesn't ect!
Branching
I plan to approach the research by branching off if needed. So when i'm researching and i come accross a concept i'm not familiar with, i will branch away to discover what it is, make a note of the article i was reading previously and come back to it later. I realise this could mean branching around on a wild goose-chase, particularly in the beginning, even perhaps into topics that aren't relevant. However, i think it is a good approach as long as i keep record of previous material i didn't finish reading and i ensure what i'm researching doesn't get completely off-topic. Common sense will decide when to branch and when not to.
Specific Features
After a good grounding in the concepts involved, i'm then gonna start researching about the specific features i want the Cloth to show - real-time, interaction, collision ect.
So that i can document the learning process in the write-up, i will show and organise my findings here, on this blog.
Tim.
