3d Experiments - Cloth
November 18, 2007
Cloth, it took me a couple days to figure it out, and for the most part it was quite easy. The big problem was, there’s almost no documentation online; all they have is “throw a cloth on a cube” Which is kinda cool when you are starting out, but not enough when you are actually trying to accomplish something.
So I started fooling around with Clothilde, the Cloth Engine of Cinema4d, and as I mentioned before, the only tutorial online was the let’s throw a cloth on a cube.
Then I started to fool around with the physics of the engine, wind, resistance, flexibility, you name it. As a side-note, it took me almost a day to figure out how to wrap something with the cloth before the animation started, in other words, the initial position. If you ever encounter the same problem, all you have to do is go to the Dresser tab and click the “Relax” button, after that click “Set” on the Init Position Area.
And later on, I worked on an animation that featured everything that I learned on the Cloth engine.
