ROMANDIC cloth simulator tutorial

Colleagues from CSIC, specifically Franco Coltaro, presented their cloth simulator, developed within the Clothilde project, called the Clothilde simulator, see here and here.

In this online tutorial the simulator itself, its properties, and the usage were presented, followed by an extensive debate.

Thanks Franco!
