The trick to Simulating clothing using SyFlex?

[adrencg]

Right after scale, object resolution is also an important factor when ie looking at collisions. The higher the resolution of cloth & collider, the better the results. Obviously, you dont have to go extremely high. A smooth or two should do the trick, along with tweaked collision envelope values etc.

Depending on the project, it may also help to build a proxy especially for Syflex, simulate that and then have it drive the original mesh.

Cheers!

I think in the docs it says best results are had by keeping the Collide polys .5 the size of the cloth.

I’ve been playing and experimenting with my new knowledge, and I’ve found some great settings to use for a general, all around cloth. I’m using for hair, but these settings are a good starting point for an object that is around 1/4 of the default grid area.

Density 1 to 4
Stiffness settings:
Stretch 4
Bend 2 (Stretch/2)
Shear 1 (Bend/2)

Damping settings:
.08
.04
.02
(again, subsequent settings are half of the previous)

Global damp: .000002

Gravity -.04

These settings work well for anything that stays well inside the grid, but is not too small.
