I know it doesn’t sound like it would help in your situation but it wouldn’t hurt to try. If an older scene is loaded (prior to R11.5) the Iterations and Stiffness parameters will be set so the original Cloth behavior is maintained. Iterations should be viewed as a mass for the overall stiffness of a fabric, which can be adjusted using the Stiffness, Flexion and Rubber parameters. To check and make sure things are working, I made a rigid body and collider body tag on the items, and those worked fine the table cloth dropped on the table and bounced stiff as a board. Note that render times will increase as the defined value is increased and values near 0 can lead to unstable cloth calculations, which can then virtually “explode”. The new incarnation allows for a separate, manual definition. In CINEMA 4D versions prior to R11.5 this was automatically defined internally (primarily based on the object subdivision and Stiffness setting), which however presented several disadvantages. This parameter basically controls the overall elasticity of a fabric. This can look less realistic if you go crazy with it, but has a lower processing overhead than subsampling.Yes, try from 0.5 all the way down to 0.01 if needed.Ībout Iterations, the Help file explains it like this: It will pretty drastically slow down your simulation, but it's often the only way to prevent the sort of clipping you're experiencing.Īs an alternative, I think there's a way to expand the clipping radius out from the actual surface of the material. This is how many steps of calculation the simulation will process between each frame before moving on to the next frame. There is a setting on the cloth tag to increase the simulation resolution, allowing it to calculate the simulation between frames. Clipping tends to happen when the collisions that would have prevented it occur between frames (and therefore goes unnoticed by the simulation).
