Learn Complex CLOTH ANIMATION in under 10 MINUTES! | Blender 3D Tutorial

[@fadhil4008]

MAAAN the way you present it, the way you put all the footages, the way you talk, the thing you taught, everything deserves more than a sub or like! Love your vid man!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! Your comment really means a lot I'm really glad you like the video! :) Plenty more on the way

[@Mojodamol]

Good content but way too fast, for some steps the video is sped up so I can't see what's going on even when slowed to 0.25 speed. Am still stuck on trying the get the cloth to collide with the sphere without falling through or the sphere falling as well as the cloth. This is all in the first minute of video and I have spent 10mins trying to work it out so far.

[@mulanmiller5000]

Just fanastic, finally cloth sims are getting fun!

[@jaredcrown5812]

Well Explained in parts, very easy to understand, very easy to follow. Great Tutorial.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! :) Really glad you like it!

[@zillaquazar]

This video has so many tips and is just beautifully made, I have subscribed now and saved this video to mu favourites

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it :)

[@infiniteworlds1714]

You should make more tutorials similar to this. It's excellent 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! Definitely more on the way! :)

[@MeshLabWorks3D]

One of the best tutorials out there to start simulating cloth in Blender, great work!!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! Really glad you think so :)

[@TheuppercaseM]

why do you not have like a million subscribers

[@lewisanimation]

That's a very kind comment thank you :) Maybe one day!

[@StoleYourBurger]

You, sir, just got a new subscriber (I'm your 200th, yay!). Thanks for the tutorial, looking forward to more of those!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! 200 YES!! :D Plenty more tutorials on the way!

[@pedromarques5313]

OMG!!!! thats a perfect tutorial video

[@dontaskmeparody1146]

awesome tutorial ever

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! :)

[@RandMpinkFilms]

So greatly appreciated. This is fantastic!

[@lewisanimation]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@BrickLady]

it's pity. so fast that it's bad to repeat or learn. It looks very beautiful!

[@mishchukov]

Thanks a lot! 😯

[@lewisanimation]

No problem!

[@awilsonator]

Brilliant and nicely done, cheers 🎉

[@lewisanimation]

Glad it helps! :)

[@MuhammadKashif-wp2hh]

excellent tutorial.. thanku

[@seifergunblade9857]

thank you

[@lewisanimation]

No problem! :)

[@razvanab]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial. Can this be use to make a cloth knot too ?

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! :) I haven't tried it for making a knot, if the knot is already tied it may be easier to sculpt the knot as a mesh then attach the simulated cloth to it. I'm not sure how possible making a simulated knot would be as it would be a much more complex collision

[@TheEmptyHoliness]

An above average youtube tutorial! Thank you! Have you considered animating the deceleration curve while catching? Like animate the hook to match the speed of the cloth, catch it with the moving hook, and then slow down to get a more natural look.

[@lewisanimation]

Glad you enjoyed the tutorial! And thank you for the suggestion! I think that could work quite well, I believe I was creating this for animations where the cloth needs to stop more suddenly like someone catching it, but if a smoother motion is needed then decelerating the empty absolutely I think could work! :)

[@TheEsborn]

Great tutorial, short, to the point and full of great information:) Subscribed. Will probably use this on the Moving Meditations challenge on the Pwnisher channel:)

[@lewisanimation]

Awesome! Really glad you enjoyed and welcome to the channel! And I'm doing that challenge too! If you upload it to KZbin drop another comment here and I'd love to have a look!

[@jaspermori]

This is the type of tutorial i like to see. Short, straight to the point, and really well thought on presentation and explanation.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you very much! I'm really glad you like it :)

[@nicondottiere]

you talk wayyy too fast and what happen on the screen is way too fast as well, even with carefull frame by frame I can't finish your tutorial

[@slevinkelevra1808]

Great tutorial sir! Keep it up! But I have one question. Can you tell me plz, how I can bake all cloth simulations to keyframes, to do slow motion effect. Thanks.

[@theCreativeSav]

This is such a great and concise overview. Awesome stuff bro!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)

[@renatotarma42O]

PS. If someone are trying to do this tutorial and the cloth is not colliding properly, set up the uv sphere with a collision modifer :)

[@vatsalsoni1638]

u are a life saver

[@NarekManukyan]

Can I do ribbon knot unwrapping animation with this method?

[@Gametime05577]

Thanks for this Awesome Tutorial for free ❤

[@doppiak2227]

i basically knew every thing u used here and how it worked but i couldn't put it together my self to make those things... i feel so dumb

[@lewisanimation]

Don't worry! This tutorial is a result of a lot of trial and error testing different systems, it took me a while to work it all out!

[@spetauskas]

this is one tutorial is one of the best, quick, simple, without any unnecessary info, like how delete default cube :D, and easy to understand. please give us more.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! I love the concept of saving people time as long tutorials aren't for everyone, I've always preferred the quicker more direct ones. Definitely more tutorials like this on the way! :)

[@alifadhil5377]

thank you for the tutorial if you just make the the same video slower as many of us there English are not there first language and also to make the video beginner friendly

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@xmetaldome]

Video is awesome! Just one request, just before clicking onto any menu item or any such UI item that disappears after clicking, just hover over it for a sec so we see whats being clicked. I had to rewind the part several time where you add the first 'plain axes'.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you for your feedback! I will make sure to do that in my next tutorial :)

[@KomishunArt]

This is a great tutorial. great flow of editing and the voice.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! It really means a lot :) I wanted to condense as much info into a quick video to make it easier to watch. Glad you like it!

[@deylightmedia3266]

Lewis if you can please get back to me I have some for you

[@deylightmedia3266]

You used hook which is right for permanent grip

[@deylightmedia3266]

You need the proximity modifier to do it properly

[@deylightmedia3266]

As you can change the influence better

[@jimpostier1113]

Brilliant! You may want to consider adding a link to your Instagram account in the "about" section of your KZbin channel. Excellent lesson!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! Have added all the social links now, completely forgot that it was possible so thank you! :)

[@deylightmedia3266]

Now I am challenging you to drape a saree 😎

[@lewisanimation]

Cool idea! Wish I had the time to try. Thanks for your comment!

[@killrblue]

Great tutorial, u went a bit too fast. But keep up the good work

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you!

[@zorkaprince3437]

If anyone else is having problems with the vertices not following the plain axes after some more fiddling with the movement of them, you can press the reset button on the hook midifier in edit mode, that fixed it for me. Amazing tutorial, very nicely edited, clear instructions and everything, thanks a bunch!

[@raultorresjr.5994]

Man you save me hahaha

[@lukayz1363]

Never thought catching the cloth was possible

[@lewisanimation]

Neither did I at first! Was really happy finding it as it creates lots of new simulation possibilities

[@rileyb3d]

Genius. Thank you, I desperately needed a solution like this for a random client project I'm working on right now.

[@lewisanimation]

Really glad it helps! :)

[@Sairawkerh]

Very informative brother.. Love from India.. Dont stop sharing like these tutorial... ✊✊✊

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! More on the way :)

[@husseinabdulla]

plz talk slow next time its hard to learn if fast . thanks

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you for your comment! I appreciate the feedback

[@andykorn9837]

After I complete all of these steps, the wind force field isn’t blowing the cloth as much as it was before. Like even if I turn up the wind strength it isn’t blowing it very much at all, how do I fix this

[@iskanderbenamor]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Very well edited too. I love the intro.

[@lewisanimation]

Really happy it helped! Thank you so much for your comment :)

[@lewisguapo]

I'm trying to export a PNG sequence with the baked animation from the cloth simulation but every time I try to render animation it doesn't render the same animation from the simulation... What am I doing wrong?

[@DissertazioniVideolu]

it would be cool if the hook would stay attached to the cloth and would update it's position automatically, that's not possible I guess, right?

[@neogeo8267]

how about complex shape like a t-shirt? Interested in simulation of this sort of thing

[@bonniebeevt]

If anyone out there can help me out, that would be amazing! Mine just crumples to the floor and does nothing - I'm completely new to Blender so I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong :(

[@artisandejure8168]

You are talking too fast and skip saying what you are doing for a number of important steps. I've spent close to an hour rewinding and rewatching a 10 minute tutorial. Else ... good content and organization.

[@MaruHieta]

I wish this was the first clothes simulation tutorial I watched

[@lewisanimation]

Glad you like it! :)

[@thsuperelite]

hey ! I have come across a problem and i can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have a character with rigged clothing with cloth sim attached and i tried to use the video to add hooks to control the cloth but when i animate the character the clothes break and the bone rigged cloth and the hooked cloth move in different directions and not as intended. Do you know how to solve this...? Thank you so much...!

[@lewisanimation]

I unfortunately haven't looked into using the cloth sims specifically for clothes so I'm not sure I have any solutions. Possibly make sure the modifiers are stacked in the right order as that can cause problems. Other than that I'm not too sure what the problem could be

[@dioib]

Dear Lewis, thanks for such great video! I am having some trouble, I follow along added pin and pin controls without problem, but when I try to keyframe the hook empty, the pinned vertices follows and the mesh is deformed in a very strange way. Could you please advice how I can keyframe those controls like you and simulated the cloth correctly? Thanks in advance!

[@SSGaming03]

2:24 how do I fixed this type of issue??

[@hansa5867]

Such a nice type of tutorial. Just, "Here this is how it works". Not a detailed pointless and often fluffed explanation. Show me how it works, I'll get the rest, and you know it! :)

[@lewisanimation]

I'm really glad you enjoyed, I really appreciate the comment :)

[@_casg]

Question can I moved a baked animated objects keyframes in a timeline? Is that possible ?

[@nm-conceptfilms]

Really well done tut.. Thank you so much!!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@yuoneyouget5819]

Can you make some tutorial for cloth character ?please. I like your way to explain

[@mercy1441]

this. 💎💎💎

[@lewisanimation]

Glad you enjoyed :)

[@Verdia-dono]

even tho it's very ass for begginers like too much it was super easy got thr knock for it in 17 mins ( unlike my friend )

[@jaredcrown5812]

For Stage 5 about catching the cloth, Select both empty and Cloth, the go to Edit mode, Select the vertex, and press ctrl P to parent Empty to vertex, then as the simulation goes the empty will follow that vertex so you don't need to animate the Empty. Hope this Helps, I just tried it out and it works

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much for your comment! I've tried it and it seems potentially like a really cool option to use. I haven't tested it enough to see how well it works with other animations and pins but it's certainly something I'll look into!

[@jaredcrown5812]

@@lewisanimation Please do test it and let me know because I haven't tested it much myself.

[@brunoriyuoficial]

Nice

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you very much! :)

[@邪悟]

I still don't understand how to throw cloth, and the detailed steps of throwing cloth and shaking are omitted at this time5:23. I still can't do the effect of parabola in short-time.

[@dyrengariknuas2305]

Im pretty late and a bit lost at baking, should I bake at every changes and do them before the simulation or at the end after the simulation done? That aside, the video really helpful especially the drop and catch one.

[@lewisanimation]

The cloth sims can play in real time in the viewport when you press play, but the more complex the sim the more this slows down, so baking allows you to save the sim so you can view it in real time and it just repeats this saved sim. So you would need to bake the sim again each time if you want to make changes, but you don't need to if it's a simple cloth sim that runs smoothly in the viewport already

[@victory_summery]

thanks so much, this is exactly what I needed

[@lewisanimation]

Glad it helped! :)

[@mickelodiansurname9578]

Subscribed... and you race through the script... but in fairness thats what the pause button is for!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! I've always preferred quicker tutorials that I can pause and rewind wherever needed instead of longer tutorials that I need to skip through, so I decided to make them that way :)

[@limerence8365]

I did this and I made a rigid passive mesh for the plane to fall against but it just passed through, what should I do?

[@denniss.3907]

what i have to do between 2:20 and 2:30. how i do it "right"? i missed something or have i learn animation first? how i animate the empty?

[@darkcode01cs]

this really need alot of training well done

[@JohnSatan]

This is literal gem and only tutorial on this topic

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you!! I needed it for an animation I was making but couldn't find any tutorials on it so I worked it out and thought I'd share, glad it helped! :)

[@khaledcovers9228]

Awesome channel

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you so much! :)

[@nickangellondon]

Holy guacamole ... thanks for putting this together, you've got yourself a new follower!

[@lewisanimation]

Awesome! Thank you so much :)

[@papatagi]

Excellent workflow, is there a particular reason for using Empties instead of Bones?

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you for your comment! :) I used empties as they are just a single point for simplicity, and it can just be parented to bones, and even jump from one armature to another in the same animation

[@migl1802]

I love it when animators use animations to teach animating, good job dude

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! Glad you like it :)

[@Unkillable365]

Love this! Have a cool idea for a project I’m working on and this gives me a good starting point to tackle it! Thank you!

[@lewisanimation]

That's amazing! Very good luck on your project :)

[@pml2307]

Geat explanation!! thank you for adding a new stack of knowledge into my mind.

[@lewisanimation]

Really glad it helps! :)

[@HamzaARTi]

Quality tutorial Subed

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you!! :)

[@toapyandfriends]

My cloth was traveling through my sphere at the very start of the video when you ran the first simulation I had to set my quality steps to 10 in order to get it to land and drape over the sphere I'm in blender 3.2

[@laughlord1]

try adding collision to the sphere

[@kenkellett1643]

I would love to see you do a tute putting clothing on a character. Your totes are beautifully comprehensive. Thank you.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you for the suggestion! I've mainly done weight painted clothes instead of simulated ones so far, but if I start working on it with sims I'll be sure to share. Thanks for watching the video! :)

[@sehltahndg]

THIS has answered some serious questions for me...thankyou so much!

[@lewisanimation]

Really glad it helped! :)

[@PhilFlock]

Wow. Great tutorial and to the point!

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you! :)

[@daviddavidson1767]

I think this would be a great tutorial IF you slowed down and showed you key presses. Way to fast for a beginner like myself.

[@adambrewster4358]

YES! Thank you. Just what I needed and can't believe it took so long to find it. This is worth a million 'cloth modifier basics' tutorials.

[@lewisanimation]

Thank you very much! Really glad it helps :)

[@linuxva]

...Where is "empty" ...shift + A ...no ...
