Creating a plaid on a chair - cloth simulator?

[measuredmove]

Just a quick Thesaurus search on the word Drape - Cloak, Swathe, Shroud, Veil

[Anton_S]

Solo, good idea! lol

Pixero, ClothWorks sounds nice and actually very accurate. Even though it will also allow simulating soft bodies, such as the torus, the collisions acts as if cloth is wrapped around it. The name is also more informal about what the plugin does, which should also attract more users.

Jorgensen, it should take 1-3 months to get the first version released. Everything should be easy because most of it is integrating the features of MSPhysics, the other thing is getting a licence system like in Thomthoms SUdb. That, I will need to do more research on.

Faust, I will never forget MSPhysics. I will always work on it. In fact ClothWorks with its simplicity, will allow experienced users to get a grip of how MSPhysics works and transition to it MSPhysics for more possibilities.

SSS - Soft Surface Simulator

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!?

[filibis]

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

please be able to make curtains as well...

@anton_s
just curious - are you working on this plugin / feature?

thanks
jorgensen

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.

Anton,

I've been waiting for a soft body plugin in SU for quite awhile. Please do make it. And I'm happy to

1. Beta Test
2. Create a YouTube Video explaining it
3. Prepay mucho $$$
4. Give you free horseback riding lessons at the ranch

Hello Anton,
are there already news from the "ClothWorks" development?

[Anton_S]

Almost finished. You can expect it sometime in the beginning of October.

[cotty]

Wonderful news!

[Pixero]

Wow. Great news. I was thinking about this just today. Do you need some beta testing?

[faust07]

Thanks for the positive information.

[Matheron]

Go for release, Anton.
