Clothmoton in TS7.1 About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. Clothmoton in TS7.1 // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by splinters // Aug 29, 2006, 2:35pm splinters Total Posts: 4148 Anyone successfully used Clothmotion in tS7.1? I have version 1.22 and I am following the tutorial supplied (drape cloth over torus), I am following the instructions but my plane ends up very blocky indeed. I have quade divided about four times but the outcome is very blocky and not like the tutorial. If I try to add SDS to the simulated object it just resets to where the simulation started. Never used this before but I really need cloth in some renders-so, any tips on getting this to work properly?

Post by Burnart // Aug 29, 2006, 6:07pm Burnart Total Posts: 839 My own experience is that you have to have a much more detailed mesh than the one indicated. If you want some gathering occuring where the plane collides with the object try rotating the plane on each axis a few degrees and give it an angled collision with torus. That will give a nice "fabricy" look. Sorry I can't be more specific - I'm looking at the forum from work during my lunch hour as usual and I just can't remember all the details of the plugin!!

Try adding sds atfer closing the clothotion panel because I think when clothmotion is opened it interfers with ts keyframes (Not a guarantee but something to try). I thnk there was also something on this but in the old forums.

I would recommend to use tS 6 where those plugins really work. Building the whole scene together, save it as scn file and load it into tS 7.
