Thanks Sigmund!!!
I think a higher order method would not help *that* much... The main problem
is not supposed to be about accuracy, but stability. I have read that the
derivatives of the forces of the cloth can be quite high, and this can cause
unstability problems with EXPLICIT methods (Forward Euler, Heun,
Runge-Kutta), but stability problems can be fixed with IMPLICT methods (I
only know Backward Euler).
Nevertheless, I've found that the Heun method works very well with
not-very-small timesteps and haven't had (fortunately) stability problems.
I think I'll play just a little bit more with cloths and then I'll be back
into something else... maybe fluids?
Anyway, I'm really happy that you liked it! Thanks again!
Fernando.
