Cinema 4D 2023 introduced a unified simulation framework for Cloth and Splines, and it's already changed the game for cloth simulation. The solver is much faster, easier to use, and capable of producing results that'll make 'em say, "when did you learn Houdini?"
In this video, EJ will show you how to get started with 2023's new cloth system. You'll be crushing those daily renders in no time.

EJ you are a magician! Thank you, thank you, thank you! The field force as an attractor usage literally saved me hours. Before that I was using a regular attractor and it was sucking everything like a black hole. I had to keyframe the "enable" option when the objects start colliding in order not to crash cinema 4d.

I always hear to turn up the substeps and iterations when things aren't looking good, but I find that things get worse when those numbers go up. The cloth sticks to itself more and jitters around. It seems like low numbers are what gives the best results, but then the cloth is very bouncy and stretchy.

@eyedesyn Жыл бұрын

It means that you may have too strong a force on cloth so it's causing too many collisions so either remove subdivisions or turn down your force settings to try to troubleshoot!

@saintjames9 Жыл бұрын

Really cool tut, thanks for sharing this. I was wondering - any reason why when I follow along with the exact same settings (object size, number of cuts, subdivisions, etc.) my cloth sim ends up looking completely different? I need to really crank the turbulence values before I see anything stronger than minor oscillations. I'm still getting really cool results I'm happy with, just wondering what our differences might be?
