Modeling with Cloth Simulation in Blender

Great, I am struggling to move F16 with smoke and fire behind, finally I'v done it in after effects to not miss the deadline
My cloth doesn't behave like in the video at 13:20. The pin group animates to the desired width on the X-axis and the vertices closest to them fold like intended, but the further down the curtain we go, the vertices just doesn't "fall in". I know they are "free" as they all "fall down" at frame 1, but they won't move along the X-axis. It looks like an "A" with a wrinkly top bit.
Ideas?
Well done! I already have an idea fo applying this to a project!
If only my cloth simulations rendered that quick 😀
Hello how are you? Please can you help me? How can I duplicate the curtain? Is
that I do and in the copy that I take with Shift + D, I do not get the
curtain collected, but it appears rigid, as it was before picking it,
and so save the changes, when I re-open blender no longer appears the
curtain collected, Please I need your help urgently … Thank you…
Gracias me ayudo mucho!
Very interesting tutorial. There is no link with the topic covered here but could you please give me the reference of the track (artist, title) we can hear in the background at the beginning ? Thank you for sharing.
My Blender, on Shape keys to insert a keyframe, how? @12:23 in the video. Blender 2.77. I tried to right click to insert a keyframe on the Shape key, but no option to insert key frame. Anyone know how? ty.
Update: Figured it out. On the influence slider (0.0/1.0 at the right of the shape key), right click and insert keyframe. I was right clicking too far left.
The theatre curtains look great but they don't work. I wanted to see them working. Sigh!
this video is still so fantastic! Kent Trammell rocks!! would be great to see a similar one on cloth sewing!
Thank you… easy tutorial
thank you
Thanks !
Awesome thank you! 🙂
Thanks for the tutorial. It would be much more useful, though, if we could see the keys you press. Without this, I still understand the principle, but cannot do it myself.
I'm running Blender v2.73, and when I try to scale the pinned verts inward, it just stretches out my mesh at those points, which obviously produces some weird results. Does anyone have any tips on fixing this?
why must used cycle render ? if use blender render ?
"…I don't see any more self penetration…" :')
awesome! thanks! you forgot to use the solidify modifier to give some thickness to the curtains. I can't get that working 🙁
How do you get the rendered shapes you've made into a editable shape, can't hit apply in the modifiers tab and for my apply as shape key just reverts the shape to the unedited/noncloth shape.
Awesome tutorial!
Figured it out. Active element, pivot point. That was the piece I was missing.
Sorry, that was in relation to shape keys.
This is a really cool tutorial but the key frames in particular that are messing me up in the new 2.70. If you find some time to go over how they have changed in a tutorial sometime it would be very much appreciated.
Very helpful, cheers!
Thanks for the great tips on pinning and keyframes. This is exactly what I needed.
I can get the blend.file?
What specs do you have?
Were you listening to music while recording this vid?
Very good tutorial, Andrew. This was very helpful.
Really good tutorial
learned a bunch!
tks~
thanks for sharing with us all these tutorials.
Nice, thanks!
Thanks for a clear, detailed tutorial.
Bad physics, though. Try this: We hang the rod and fold the cloth perpendicular to the floor to *eliminate* gravity as a meaningful influence. We shape behavior by the choice of material/ properties; and dynamically with rigging. The folds are practical and by design. A theater also has flat, cloth backdrops.
Example: try putting rings IN the cloth. …. 🙂
(Rigging: Does it retract, lift.. both? which way? How heavy? Keep the distribution even)
Very good tutorial. Thanks.
Please. What is the theme that you are using in your Blender in this video? What is the name? Where I find it?
Goodness you are a 3d wizard sir, thank you for the lesson.
That is awesome, but how did you build the stage?
Apply transform! I knew I watched random tutorials for a reason!
nice tutorial
Please you, my friend put a video tutorial for designing a living room with all its components
Medkih stone and chairs, TV and thank you for all the wonderful video Mphata
Thanks, its good tut,
i use the cloth dynamics for long time ,and its still impress me evry time.
The background music make this good tutorial a terrible horror movie… it s anxious.
PS: "Self Penetration. LOL
Sorry.
It's very late and my mind wondered in a bad direction while watching this.
And here I was using empties to control pins when shape keys were the answer.
Good luck with your Blender endeavors as well. 😉
