Hello everyone, robcat2075 Posted 15 July 2015 - 07:13 PM "Cloth wizard" isn't relevant to Simcloth. It was a tool for the old method of creating cloth, now replaced by Simcloth. From your description I'm not sure which one you are doing. First, have you done the "wave the flag" tutorial in "The Art of Animation:Master"? That shows how to create a material that turns a mesh into cloth. Yes. I tried it out and it worked fine, had no trouble with cloth on flag pole with wind force... John Bigboote Posted 15 July 2015 - 07:35 PM Cloth is tricky... in any program. For a table cloth you will first need to do a 'rest' solver action to get the cloth draped nicely over the table. Next, you will do the animation of the tablecloth animating from 'rest' to the pulloff action via a connected part of the cloth to a bone. Always with cloth is the element of density- as in mesh density... the finer the mesh the better the details (wrinkles etc.) you will need to experiment to find what density mesh will suit your needs. I'll attach 2 variations of a TV spot I did back in 2005 when the feature was brand new. Yes but they were old versions, I noticed there are changing on simcloth in version 18. NancyGormezano Posted 15 July 2015 - 07:39 PM EDIT: Here is link to a SIMCLOTH tutorial and here is another link to another Cloth tutorial I would try the first link. I am not sure what the difference is between the 2 tutorials, as they were both done by Holmes Bryant. You will have to download a zip file for both - which includes I believe, some sample projects along with a pdf Thank you, Nancy. That's what I have been looking for. I will go through these two tutorials and see if I find any mistakes.... Right now I am looking for freewares (if any) so I can show you what I did. Screen capture video which you can edit and save... Holly

I think there is a glitch or a bug.. It crashed on me every times i used and tried out on simcloth and Simulate Spring Systems. DANG. It crashed on me. In my mind, are they using old and new programs together for simcloth to it works? Holly

Hello everyone, I haven't been on this animation:master software as membership for last couple years ago. The last time i used this Hash3D, version 16.0. Now, I'm back. I was trying to make a movie that do magic way of this tablecloth itself flowing toward this old fashion round table. While I was working on Simcloth. I noticed there are two ways of doing simcloth? Not same way as it was in version 16.0. I noticed that every times i clicked on "cloth wizard" on group box and the yellow box disappeared and appeared at different location ( mostly on ground). After I tried to make adjustment to make this cloth to become smoothy flow but somehow it just went crazy, un-natural way, flipping around.. Is this normal way or is it on glitches or bugs? Can someone tell me how to use simcloth for this version 18? Because I noticed there are some new inputs for simcloth program. Have anyone tryout on simcloth? I had no problem with version 16.0. But this one seems acted awkward. I did follow old directions that I had last couple years ago. Dang those two new inputs.... "dress me and simcloth" I understand the differances between these two. Mostly times this one crashed on me. (simcloth). Holly
