Thank you for the pictures. Please forgive my dullness, but could you explain how to use each of the pictures?

The frame is a pin, select the frame > right click > Make Pin

That's very smart...it will probably remove a step when I record my pillow workflow .

Care Frederik!! "The curiosity killed the cat"

The possibilities are endless, you can use ClothWorks to create a lot of different organic objects, more examples at the end of the day or tomorrow.

I continue to fail at the simplest things How do I make cloth and Pin sticking together?

But seriously...
When I converge the cloth+frame with the balls (collider), the cloth doesn't bend as I would expect...

I press the ClothWorks play button, click the frame (pin) and drag the red arrow towards the balls, but the cloth just remain stiff and doesn't fold around the balls...

I don't get the result HornOxx is showing in his animation...
I assume that's caused by the cloth isn't "inside" the frame...?!?

Oxer · 23 Apr 2018, 18:51

HornOxx & Frederik, the trick is to create the frame with 3 elements because if the frame is an unique object ClothWorks creates a box for the pin and this makes that the cloth does not move. See the image.

REMEMBER: The cloth should enter a little in the frame.

But like I wrote...
I don't have the issue HornOxx is experiencing...
The frame and the cloth moves correct when I click the play button, click the frame and move the frame and cloth by dragging the red arrow that emerge, when I click the frame...

Oxer · 23 Apr 2018, 19:44

REMEMBER: Create the frame with 3 slats to do the cloth moves. See the image of my previous entry.

Ok... I've made the frame with 3 slats...
At first I couldn't make it work - because I had grouped them...

One IMPORTANT info is missing...
You need to move the frame-pins one by one...
It can't be done by moving all three in one go...

Oxer · 23 Apr 2018, 20:19

Select the 6 slats and converge with shift or ctrl key while you move them, that is the trick

Got it...
Hold down the shift-key when clicking the pins and then converge...!
This gives me a ton of new options and ideas...

Thanks, Oxer...!

For a non native english speaker. Could you explain what converge is?
Googling it didnt help.

Box · 24 Apr 2018, 04:20

Bring together.
Move toward each other as if to become one.
Two paths can converge into one and diverge back into two.
