[Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024

I'll give that a go, thanks.
Looking good so far, but I need to dig into the manual so that I can appreciate the full potential.
-
thank you for that beautyfull plugin
-
I want to create chains following a path, I use copy along path normally to get chain links to follow a line, I used to use 'Rope fall' to create the path line but that is too slow and the author is AWOL does not answer his emails. So, will there be a way to drape a line? (I do not need a mesh, just a line so I can either copy along or use follow me if I want a rope.).

It alreadt support draping lines. Read the tutorial in the manual.

I have problems with textures. what did I wrong?
-
Make sure the texture is applied to the faces not the group.

I saw that "Rope Fall" is also subscription these days, very inspiring...

Yep.
Draw a line, divide it and drape.

Divide works on a simple line, but what about a more complex line, divide is not an option, is there a plugin to divide multiple attached lines?
-
Either Fredo's Bezier Spline or Fredo Tools will give you suitable options for dividing or segmenting.

Have you tried welding the complex line?

bezier spline worked like a charm.
Too bad there is no plugin that can divide a welded line into equal segments. -
Both will, particularly Fredo Tools, Divide Edges.
Unless I'm not understanding what you want. But after 4am need sleep now. -
@box said:
Ooops, I think I made my cargo net just a bit too flexible!
I didn't really understand all controls for Cloth, how do you control the elasticity of a material without making the cloth stiffer?
For example, in your case, for the ball to not slip through the holes in the net, but the net to fall naturally? -
that's it. Thank you

... with ClothWorks you can catch a lot of animals - but not a fish - a bug?

How did you do those wrinkles? Looks very cool!

Haven't checked but fish can be one of Known Limits and Limitations. And of course, I'm going to improve contact generation in a major release, which could fix the issue. We'll see.

I may have to add this as a workflow feature. Should be very simple.

In addition to Box's response, to apply a texture to a simulated cloth, follow the step below:
- Select the simulated cloth
- Click on the undrape icon. This should reset the layout of the cloth
- Enter the context of the cloth
- Apply a desired texture directly to the front and/or back faces
- Exit the context of the cloth
- Click on the toggle draped icon again to renew the layout of the cloth
Here is the part of the Draping Sphere video performing these steps (starts at 1:25):
