We are motivated by the obse rvation that macro-scale fabric dynamics is strongly correlated with its u nderlying knitting patterns. Therefore, homogenization towards a single\nm aterial is less effective when the knitting is complex and non-repetitive. Our method tackles this challenge by homogenizing the yarn-level material locally at volumetric elements. Assigning a virtual volume of a knitting structure enables us to model bending and twisting effects via a simple vo lume-preserving penalty and thus effectively alleviates the material nonli nearity. We employ an adjoint Gauss-Newton formulation[Zehnder et al. 2021 ] to battle the dimensionality challenge of such per-element material opti mization. This intuitive material model makes the forward simulation GPU-f riendly. To this end, our pipeline also equips a novel domain-decomposed s ubspace solver crafted for GPU projective dynamics, which makes our simula tor\nhundreds of times faster than the yarn-level simulator. Experiments v alidate the capability and effectiveness of volumetric homogenization. Our method produces realistic animations of knitwear matching the quality of full-scale yarn-level simulations. It is also orders of magnitude faster t han existing homogenization techniques in both the training and simulation stages.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nL anguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chair: Meng Zhang (Nanjing Uni versity of Science and Technology) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_379&sess=sess118 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
