[@gabrielegatti7522]

This is litterally THE BEST TUTORIAL for C4D on YT!! Thank you very much!!

[@douch28]

This has to be the best explainer video I've seen.

[@MrPada143]

3DFluff, It's really good to see you back. Best teacher!!!!

[@xavierayayaell546]

I've been using Cinema 4D for 12 years now, it's literally my everyday piece of software - yet there's always something new I learn in every one of your videos. Amazing content.

[@TheLegoMaxter]

Wow, this tutorial is really detailed and your definitions are on point! Thank you

[@frozenflame597]

sooooo wonderfully detailed. this is an amazing tutorial. concise, and covers so many questions we have in our heads.

[@belkaidsamir156]

Excellent tutorial, probably the best tutorial concerning the cloth system. Thanks !

[@valerakarpenko8079]

This the most powerful and simple explanation that I heard about cloth in my almost 4 years of motion design experience

[@alanggarcia]

This is, hands down, the best tutorial about this topic out there! Thanks!!!

[@bazibada]

Thank, you, that was by far the best cloth tutorial I saw, and you're also explaining well all the parameters, now I understand what they do !

[@p1nkyTF2]

literally the best video on cloth simulation inside of C4D, very detailed explanation, thank you buddy!

[@geri7695]

thanks for all of your great tutorials (not only this one), in my opinion the most helpful ones i've seen so far. love your detailed explanation and the fact that you go cover almost every point of a topic. it makes it so easy to understand, because you explain WHY and for which purpose every function can be used (or not used). thanks again and please keep doing such a great work.

[@culturalurge]

Always by far the best tutorial on this. Have never faulted on learning from this channel. Also love the dry sense of humor thrown in! always good!!!

[@3rdDim3nsn3D]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 thank you!!!

[@pooyabehrooz8810]

thank you

[@wildbot]

thank you sir..

[@JuniorRakid2]

So useful

[@hmarji]

coool, thanks, you are one of the best Please if you have any like that about dressing a character or rigging let us know thanks again

[@ssjenforcer191191191]

Dressomatic is actually very useful and easy to use as long as you make polygon cloth backs and front and a bridged seam between them.

[@costelnechifor9146]

thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

[@barbsie4099]

Amazing tutorial, very well explained! you mention the clothes system does not really work for wrapping clothes around the character, what does? what is the better option for it, do you have a video?

[@frankbooth926]

XP cloth is pretty nice too

[@ernestosousa8109]

Nice tut concise and clear. But I would like to pose you a question. I've been trying to make a cloth pass trough a hollow curved tube but it seems impossible to do with cloth engine in C4D using the kind of object structure and attributes cloth allows.

[@crmpadvertmedia]

thanks brother kindly make cloth lift tutorial from separated group object

[@calebcowie7621]

Self repulsion Joke was pretty good lol

[@darmok072]

Great stuff. Quick question: a couple of other users tutorials have suggested to use the soft body simulation on a plane rather than the specific cloth simulation because "it doesn't play nice with other dynamics." What are your thoughts on this?

[@3DFluff]

Depends what you need to happen. Cloth does do cloth better than soft bodies, but priority issues can cause fun and games. Worst case scenario bake stuff out and youre fine.

[@chrish8479]

Thanks for the tutorial. Really informative stuff. What would you say is the better option for cloth simulations outside of C4D?

[@3DFluff]

I think marvellous designer is universally regarded as the best if you want to dress characters. That or syflex.

[@chrish8479]

Yeah I see a lot of people using Marvellous Designer. I'll have to check it out at some point. Thanks again.

[@ryanchua6988]

Hello from 2021. Nice tutorial！ I have a question to ask though. I made this scene where I belt a cloth on a pole, then move and rotate the pole around pretending to wave the "flag" around. The problem is when I am done waving and stuck the pole down to the "floor", even without any wind going on, the flag just won't fall down and kept waving in the wind, which didn't exist. Really confused here hahahaha, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong here.

[@lexxandera]

I think in this tutorial you said that the values of a rigid body and a collider body multiply. So 50% x 50% would be 25%. In another tutorial (not yours) it was suggested that the values should be added and then devided by 2 (which would still end up being 50% in my example). But if you use 0% in one, it makes everything 0% (just like when you multiply with 0). So I guess the other guy was wrong? It is sometimes tricky to find out the correct information if you learn something new, so I wonder if you could confirm that. When it comes to finicky settings like in dynamics, I think it is important to really know how these numbers affect each other - that is why I am asking here. And thank you for your amazing work.

[@dmellis]

Have you experimented with X-Particles 4's cloth system? How well does it work with characters, self-collision and dynamics?

[@3DFluff]

Sorry I cant help here, ive little experience with xp4

[@millie2079]

When are you coming back Matt???

[@danielegay4496]

Great cloth tutorial!!! I have a question: can a cloth be a collider for another cloth? I'm trying to make an animation with some falling paper using cloth tag, but they land one over the other and they intersect. thanks!

[@3DFluff]

Cloth should collide with cloth by default, but keep in mind, c4ds cloth is a pretty old system, it never was the best and it overdue an update. Also remember the cloth sim is wafer thing, landing cloth on cloth has a high chance of intersecting

[@danielegay4496]

@@3DFluff thank you very much! with my animation I have resolved preventing cloth collision :-D not only cloth sim need an upgrade in c4d :-(

[@aura6902]

Thanks 3DFluff, Great Tuts. I have a Question, I'm trying to make 2 cloths made (from planes with cloths tags) and have them interact with each other as they blow around. No matter what I do I just cant seem to get the cloth collider tags to work. Do you have any suggestions? Cheers mate

[@3DFluff]

Im not sure how to get this to work, In fact I'll go out on a limb and say this is impossible. One workaround is to merge the cloth into a single object and enable "self collisions" on the expert tab

[@Sosapatram]

hi. Thank you very much for your videos

[@3DFluff]

No idea. The systems are not connected, you could possibly use xpresso to use the tracker null objects to drive the fixed points. Or youll likely have better luck using the cloth belt tag then driving an object the cloth is belted to.

[@RazvanPloscaru]

My cloth doesn't touch the collider how to solve it?

[@mohammadsuliman6181]

Thanks for the tutorial , But I have a question , how i can clone an object under cloth tag , and use mograph effector like random , and Thank you in advance

[@3DFluff]

Well youll need to be careful, it may not be possible. The cloner will want to take one mesh and duplicate it identically, the cloth system can only be applied to one item so there is an immediate incompatibility. Youre best bet would be either to place it all under a connect object and try simulating that, but cloth likely wants a poly mesh. Or you could try cloning making the cloner editable, apply cloth tags to the new objects then put them into a fracture to re-mographise them.

[@mohammadsuliman6181]

First, i want to thank you for your wonderful response , your a greet man , I learned a lot from you , thanks again , and i figure out after i triad your method, first i throw the cloth system regardless of how i like used but always it let me down , and i use Instead the soft body tag , short story it's working perfectly . keep your awesome work , I wish you the best times always .

[@toufiqhassan3382]

how can i control the timing of cloth simulation ?

[@DMarrafa]

great videos guys, though i'm watching this 2x faster because it's too slow paced..

[@powertortoise]

u could use cloth size fr inflatable raft

[@3DFluff]

Soft bodies with the pressure setting would handle this much better.

[@desongvilla]

Hi 3D do you have any rigging tutorials? I cant see on your tutorials.

[@3DFluff]

No rigging tutes from us, we're rubbish at it ;-)

[@harshobj]

The preview of my cloth lags terribly. Is there any solution for this?

[@3DFluff]

maker sure "all frames" is enabled in the animation settings

[@olgapichugina62]

please, you could only show yourself at the beginning? Do not see the materials with which you work?!

[@3DFluff]

But the video doesn't use any materials?.....
