Cloth Inflation Simulations in Cinema 4D | Cloth Stitching Effect Tutorial

[@ltpelletier]

One more amazing tutorial, EJ! Thanks! I would be curious to know how you applied a different texture (red) to your logo.

[@eyedesyn]

Thanks! Great question! So the logo is super easy, it's simply a single texture and I just made the spline match where the logo was on the material that I applied on the plane object.

[@ltpelletier]

@@eyedesyn Right! The old Redshift method, of course! I was trying with a second material on top (with alpha) for the logo but it gets displaced in a weird way. Thanks again! By the way, I guess the next step would be for someone to use this in replacement of Marvelous Designer (a fine software, but with sometimes a bit of a frustrating workflow). For simple objects, like a superhero cape or a bed sheet, no trouble at all. But for a winter coat or pants? I would love to see that! Up for a challenge? ;0)

[@TheGodlike300]

@@eyedesyn Hi EJ! Sorry to chime in here, but I don't quite understand this! Did you use the spline to mask something out on the material?

Hi EJ, I love this tutorial. I just have one question. I can't seem to drop a quilt I've made this way. The pins made with the vertex map don't seem to recognise the gravity,and just hold parts of the cloth up. Is there a button I've missed? Thanks.

[@timvanderwiel5105]

If I put anytime of animation in my vertex maps, be it with linear fields updating of a shader field with an animated noise, I place it in the mix animation un check deformed points and it wont update in the simulation even though it does work in the vertex map view..

[@timvanderwiel5105]

tested it with colleagues and it also doesnt work with them..

[@timvanderwiel5105]

Ok it will work if there is a field underneath like here were there are some keyframes in there. otherwise it wont update per frame

I believe this is a bug that you have to do this - so you're not doing anything wrong really, it's just some bugs that need to be ironed out!

[@keko1174]

[@ArgoBeats]

Great one! I need to connect a dynamic object to a pre-animated object, is there a way to make the first to follow the pre-animated one, can't quite solve the problem, before it was possible to assign a Ghost Body tag (Bullet) but can't find something like that for the new Simulation system.

[@eyedesyn]

Theres no ridig bodies in the new system yet, so what you can do is use the old rigid body system, bake the old dynamics and then apply a colllider tag to the baked object with the cached old rigid body dynamics

[@mitch4248]

Hey, thank you so much for your tutorials. Really appreciated! I have a general question and hope you can help me out. In the new 2023 the Collision Tolerance is gone and no matter what settings I fiddle with in the scene/simulation tab, I always have huge distance between the two objects. Thanks in advance!

[@eyedesyn]

Hmmm - it might be because you need more Substeps (in the dynamic settings), you could also need more subdivisions on your mesh for more accurate results, it might also be scene scale, your objects may be way too small. Let me know if any of those help - if not I can keep thinking! :)

[@mitch4248]

​@@eyedesyn Hey, thank you very much for the reply. Unfortunately the scene scale has no effect at all and the objects are all enough subdivided. Do you mean the settings in the simulation tab with the collision steps and iterations? I pumped the numbers up but it also only helps with intersecting areas. Really appreciate it!

[@mitch4248]

@@eyedesyn Hey, I found the solution while watching your 2023 cloth simulation tutorial from school of motion! All you have to do is decrease the thickness value inside the softbody tag. Easy as that, so thanks again!

i tried the setup with the dynamic connectors. but instead of using ropes i tried using a point selection tag with fields. in the field i put a spline. in the dynamic connectors tag i checked on "same object" and dragged the point selection tag into the "point restriction". works beautifully... b u t if i try to animate the spline that creates the point selection (like you did in your second setup with mix animation) , the dynamic connectors dont update from frame to frame. i checked "update live" but no luck... is this a bug or simply a limitation? thanks!
