Andrew, my awesome aussie guru. Ive been following you since footsteps in the snow on vimeo. I just wanted to take a sec to say thank you. Because of you I use blender and defended it forever. Ive learned more from your free videos than i have from paid subs. You will always be my favorite teacher. I am 43 and crossed over from programming to CGI 12 years ago because why not, and it was your inspiration that made me decide to.

in pressure settings enable custom volume then it will work.

[@kenminlau]

only 10 min? Ive spent an hour remaking the cushion over and over again trying to work out what the hell I missed!

[@NorseGraphic]

0:30 Set pressure to 1.00 and Custom Volume to 1.00, and apply. The mesh won't fall (due to gravity despite Gravity set to 0.00) then bounce back, but will inflate properly from the onset of the simulation (version Blender 3.3.1). Otherwise it'll _deflate_ at first during the simultation, and it won't look right. Frame 4 looks pretty good when done properly, but frame 5 isn't bad either, though it'll look quite puffy. Maybe adjusting the pressure down a bit will make things slow down during the simulation.

[@dariusmium]

you're just great,.. i even tried putting the shear cushion on hoping to see it swell like the back cushion

[@yerffoeg88260]

In blender 4.0, i put quality step to 6, I activated Custom Volume in Pressure, i put the pressure to 1.100, The target volume to 1.000, the pressure Scale to 0.100. The gravite is to 0 and i have a pretty good things around 11 steps during simulation.

[@AK47_beats]

We’re entering serious CG Matter level territory here

[@sanbaldo]

when you have a cloth simulation, you can have a collision object (like the sofa's structure), play the simulation (play button) and then while the animation is playing, you can move the collision object and see in real time cloth objects react. that can be useful to shape the pillows as it's laying on the structure of the sofa. Here's a preview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXPGm2Nmqtx0rck

[@jameslawrence617]

Big brain

[@PixellateYT]

For this type if simulation you need marvelous designer. You can do it in Blender but it will need a lot of time for tweaking and the result will not be very good. In your preview you can see that it look like an empty cloth. In future I think Blender will have these features.

[@sanbaldo]

@@PixellateYT I think that blender users/artists are people willing to use free software. I think that the real time cloth editing is something hard to control, but fun since you can play quickly with shapes (like you can do with the new sculpting tool for cloth). for example this is just a pillow generated from a box plus a collision sphere drop on it --> imgur.com/yyWJF6m

[@PixellateYT]

@@sanbaldo You are right, but in Marvelous Designer you have to put a pillow shape between clothes and sew them to achieve realism.But if you want to get that in Blender, I think you can get that with "Simply Cloth Addon" which cost around $20 but you have to make some sacrifice. Because for Marvelous Designer you have to pay $50/monthly. It's your choice to get a expensive industry level software or sacrifice some quality for low budget addon.

[@mohamedmafaz3672]

Something tells me that wasn’t a time lapse

Normals might be wrong

[@fvchs]

Had the same problem, and normals are fine. I didn't think of setting the pressure to negative, thanks!

[@sreeshagupta2812]

Normals are fine. Also putting the pressure to negative causes issues in the sculpting portion. The inflate pushed the material and the push inflated the material. I've got quite a few wonky looking cushions now :')

[@eliascastillo2073]

@@sreeshagupta2812 Yes, it looks like the normals get flipped when using negative pressure, at least that is what happened to me. But the solution is easy before sculpting

My revenge from your lightning fast cushion seat tutorial, was to think to myself "ah screw this". And then i made a copy using one of the previous pillows, flattened it, scaled it, made 2 other copies, rotated them a bit etc, and took me like 5minutes to do all that.

[@puzzled9949]

I had the issue that the seat cussion would collapse on the sides and inflate in the middle. The problem was, that my Normals on the sides faced inwards. So if you have the same issue, go into edit mode look at your normals and let blender recalculate them, if needed.

[@paulmuns8477]

My seat cushion has a rolled front at ankle length and is a very complex shape. I found even after flipping the normals to RED and adding different Pressures, it "blew up" in sections and it looked terrible. In frustration I finally tried negative -0.05 pressure and it blew the whole shape evenly like a dream! I must be dreaming ... or viewing a virtual world. All of the normals stayed red too, so now they will be easy to flip back.

I created the seat cushions and when I tried using the cloth brush on them it wasn't recognizing the geometry in the right way and I couldn't get the inflate brush to work right. Turns out I hadn't applied my scale and rotation changes to the mesh yet, so once I hit CTRL+A and applied those transformations it worked right. So if anyone else had this issue, there's the fix!

[@LOSFOUFOUP]

Something I learned right now : DO NOT launch the simulation if your object is touching another object, it'll just mess up the simulation big time. Just move it a little away from everything. Just saying this because despite reading all the comments, I didn't find what was wrong until I litterally move the cube away from another cube (the couch one) and it just magically worked better.

I cant get my cushions to look puffy enough it either has to sink in as if someone deflates it or nothing changes at all because the problem starts occuring in the 3rd frame.So Basically the cloth simulator inflates in the opposite direction which is inwards

[@therealpanse]

26 minute video on cloth simulation, creating seams, make it look realistic. 1 day later, not even 2 minutes: rinse and repeat.

[@StarPortable]

I had my Blender crashing consistently when I went too hard and tried smoothing out my wrinkle excess. If this happens to you try selecting the cushion you want to fix and press / on the numpad to focus on the object. It stopped crashing after that, which makes me think it might be a memory issue.

[@jakubbrzozowiec4439]

I may ask a really dumb question but... should i press: "shade smooth" on these? Because i didn't see Andrew doing this 😅 And also, a second subdiv supose to be Catmull-Clark or Simple?

[@kj3d812]

Not sure why Andrew makes the seat cushion and arm cushion from scratch, instead of duplicating the back cushion and then modifying one for the seat and one for the arm cushion. Unless the point is to have students practice the steps we did in the previous videos, but good modeling techniques involve working efficiently, which means reusing your geometry wherever possible.

Even after loop cuts before adding subdivision modifier, I mark seams from sharp edges but I still get sides non square. trop and bottom unwrap oil but sides do not. I then use modifiers but do not apply them same situation. Simple cube with loop cuts do no unwrap properly. what is causing it?
