        Hi Anton, Dave Harned here, friend of Pete Stoppel. Congratulations on Clothworks; phenomenal piece of work!

        Thank you, Dave! This plugin needs improvement but overtime with a few releases it will be perfect.

        I can't seem to figure out how to drape a cloth so that it tucks into crevices fully, like a slip cover falling down "into" a sofa. I suspect the solution is to form a basic slip cover as opposed to draping a flat cloth, but wanted to ask.

        Drop cloth at an angle with the horizontal, so that more surface are of the cloth covers the part being draped. That way there will be more cloth in an area. Another thing you can do is initially drop cloth with high stiffness and then change it to low stiffness. That way it will reach the corners.

        Kind of related to that ... could you envision a way to use Clothworks to make ocean waves? I would kill for the ability to create realistic waves hitting a beach, but so far I can't seem to manage it in SU. I tried draping cloth over "humps" that I've "Skattered" over a surface, but I haven't quite been able to achieve what I'm trying to.

        It is not possible to do waves yet.

        The demand for waves and wrinkles is high. It seems that waves and wrinkles are in the same area, so adding one could fulfill the other. I will include this functionality in one of the next releases, which could be used to add linear/radial wave/wrinkle effect to the cloth. Shouldn't be to difficult (if not simple) to code.

          How can I create wrinkles? Like in a piece of cloth in a chair or bed, something like that

          Drop cloth at an angle. Say, 60 degrees with the horizontal. Could produce wrinkles. Then apply loop subdivision and follow with a couple iterations of Laplacian smoothing to eliminte self-overlaps and of course better the result.

          Edit: But yes, easy way to add waves and wrinkles will be added in the next release.

            Here's a bit of a mix with SUbD to make a rudimentary bed.

              Great work Anton.

              Can you post something that explains a bit of how it works? What are the factors that influence the simulation?

              I was imagining using it in the design of tent structures and hanging structures. Knowing how it works would help in understanding how to use it and how good it would be for such structures.

              Also, the "end" state would be most important in this case.

              In ClothWorks, for objects with cloth property, every vertex is treated as a particle. Every edge is treated as spring. Every two linked faces have a bending spring. Same applies to two linked, faceless edges.

              As Rich said, the higher the resolution you apply to the cloth, the higher quality result. Performance aspect will be addressed in next release.

              Speaking of an end state, once you perform simulation and apply loop subdivision to the cloth, performing simulation over a subdivided cloth will have the cloth behave differently. So, generally, simulation shouldn't be performed on a post-subdivided cloth object.

              Also, a small tutorial about tents will come later. Basically, you can make it by creating six pins at a rectangular cloth, with four at cloth corners and two at middle, and raising the two middle pins in simulation (Movable Pins) feature. Ropes (linked edges) could be attached too to make it look as if the ropes are supporting the tent.

                          Hi Anton,
                          I certainly got captured on my desktop rather than fetching Easter Eggs with the kids during the holidays. I can only express my admiration to your work. So fine done! Thanks so much!

                            I was super excited to buy.
                            But it just does not work for me in SU 2018
                            I downloaded it and installed it .. but it does not work either in my 2017 or in 2018
                            I followed all the instructions.
                            I do not know what could be happening ... sad.

                              Hi,
                              This looks amazing but I am having a problem.
                              I'm following your curtain tutorial.

                              I'm running SketchUp Pro 2017 on a Mac with Yosemite.

                              I purchased ClothWorks.
                              (Β£26.23 UK pounds)
                              After a couple of restarts it now seems to be mostly working, the only problem I have at the moment is that the expand/contract handles are not working.
                              I can select the pins during playback in cloth works and I can use the move handles, and when I hold down Control the move handles do switch to expand/contract, but when I click the mouse on any of the handles the whole lot vanishes and the selection is lost.

                              Is this a Mac bug??

                                I assume you did close and re-open SU in between loading the new extension and trying it?

                                  Having fun with ClothWorks!

                                  Just a cube with an open bottom. Collider was just a single plane which was removed for rendering purposes.
                                  Didn't let it run very long, maybe around 10 frames.
                                  Applied Loop Subdivision and Laplacian Smoothing set a 2.

                                        I have been following this thread it the tool looks really great. I currently do not have any situations in the stuff I do where I could use it. I would love to see some of you creative people use the tool and make the texture of the cloth water.

                                        Just curious about what that might look like and how some of you might use that. πŸ˜„

                                          I didn't have time to play with it yet. Have anybody tried to simulate some kind of waterfall (say in endless pool)?
