Creating a plaid on a chair - cloth simulator?

SSS - Soft Surface Simulator

Box

Soft drape.
As a stand alone plugin, reasonable price, easy sale.

Something to do with the word "drape" would be apt for its intended use. If there was no drape in the Sandbox tools already--It can be called just DRAPE (IMO). Cloth could be limited to cloth materials.. .
Maybe also fibreworks.. just a thought.

But if we intend to create clothing (like marvelous Designer). Then CLOTH plugin should give everybody a good clue of what it's for.

I am loving this developments.. getting excited again about SU!!

Maybe SuSoft as Sous chef to MSPhysics.
Anyhow, when can we expect it!?

Why on earth noone attempted to create such feature before?
Anyways it's great to see this plugin taking shape.

I suggest using "Soft-body" phrase in the name since it's kind of a universal term: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft-body_dynamics

"Soft-body Simulator" maybe?
"**SoftWorks"**and "ClothWorks" are quite reasonable though.

DropCloth or Drop-n-Drape

Jorgensen, I haven't started yet. Once I finish with MSPhysics v1.0.0, I will transition to writing this plugin. It will take a lot less time to write as lots of physics engine code snippets will be used from MSPhysics.

I'm still trying to decide whether to include it in the upcoming release of MSPhysics or write a new plugin that will specifically focus on soft body simulations.

Would love to see this released before I'm tempted to go for another 3D platform to be able to do cloth simulation....

You can call it Drapery
