Vertexspline Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Robert- Sometimes we learn a lot of things accidentally--its remembering all of it that is hard. Smiles. Anyhow --nice cloth simulation indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted June 13, 2013 I notice that the cloth changes direction immediately when the roller changes direction but when the roller stops the cloth coasts on a little bit further. That is odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted June 13, 2013 A more complex arrangement with three rollers RollerTowelB.mov Here's the PRJ if anyone wishes to play with it. To simulate the cloth right-click in the chor and do Plugins>Simcloth Simulate. ClothBelt04b_three_rollers.prj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted June 13, 2013 Admin Share Posted June 13, 2013 Um.... Wow. How do you come up with this stuff! Color me impressed. Added: Now you've got me wondering how I could get digital ink to transfer from off of one of the rollers onto the paper... Perhaps we can use a negative force to stick particle ink to the paper.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Hash Fellow Share Posted June 13, 2013 New weird thing I just noticed... after the rollers have moved into place, the belt starts moving as if they were turning one frame before they actually start turning. I suppose the cloth is reacting to the inter-frame movement between the last stationary frame and the first moving frame. We don't' see it but the cloth does because it is simulating its movement in fractions of a frame time increments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
