[Plugin] ClothWorks v1.8.0 - 28 Apr 2024
-
I didn't have time to play with it yet. Have anybody tried to simulate some kind of waterfall (say in endless pool)?
-
Extraordinary!! Well done, Anton.
I go away for a few days over Easter and this thread is already 6 pages long!!
Going to download now.

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??
Yes, just checked. It's a bug! Will make a maintenance release today.
Edit: Fixed. Upgrade to 1.1.1: https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=ClothWorks
On Mac OS X, use SHIFT key for converging/diverging.

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.Could you give more details about what going on?
- First of all, are you using Windows or Mac OS X? If on Mac OS X, please upgrade to ClothWorks versions 1.1.0.
- If the issues continue to arise (or you're already updated), when you open SketchUp, do you get any load errors?
- Is the plugin installed correctly? Do you see the ClothWorks toolbar and is there a ClothWorks menu: (Menu) Extension->ClothWorks ?
- When you press play, does the frame increment in the status-bar below? Make sure your cursor is pointing to the viewport window when you check that.
- If not, can you Open Ruby Console and see what messages you get when pressing play:
(Menu) Window -> RubyConsole
More details about what's not working would be appreciated.
Thanks

Amazin tool, Anton!
My $.02:- The buying process should be reworked. It's unnecessary over-complicated especially for non-english customers (I guess it f@cks sales
) . There could be simple 'buy' and 'validate' buttons in license window with popping-up hints. - Lots of small animated gifs (on product page) explaining influence of the settings would be a huge help.

Yey! I found an actual bug!
Fast fix, all good now!
Well done and thanks!! -
Anton this plugin is just amazing!
It's going to fill a HUGE gap in SketchUp for me for visualisation.
And I know it's not meant as an animation tool, but if ever you felt like building a SketchUp animation tool I'm sure there's a big market out there!

Anton, all examples I've seen so far looks like made of 2mm steel sheet. Is there a trick in settings to get much more sharper corners in bending areas (is creasing a good term for this)?
-
Can you implement a loop of edges as "linear pin"? Could be useful for long curtains and waterfalls. And maybe for sharp corners too.

I don't know actually. Perhaps increasing cloth resolution (applying a grid with smaller spacing), could do the trick with forming sharp corners. I will need to test this around a bit and see if there is a way to achieve the sharp corners.

Can you provide more detail with that?

it's a simple idea: you'd select a loop (or set of edges, even unconnected) and order it to stay fixed. instead of point pin you get a linear holder. What important is an easy access to those linear holders (for selecting\editing).
-
If you look up Vertex Groups in Blender you can get an idea what RV is asking.
Maybe you could add a feature that allows the user to make any object behave like a pin.
So selected edge/s behave the same as a collection of pins.

For now, if you assign a pin type to the pole, and if the edges along the pole overlap the bounding box of the pole, they will be locked in place.

I checked the blenders group pins video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzRS2cCiBnc
It seems like it would be useful. Added to my TODO list (it would be an easy feature to implement).

I agree!
Yeah... The buying process is not so user friendly. It's not the worst start though
-
How sharp and linear do you want it?
-
in order to get a sharp edge I doubled the mesh in the area of the edge with artisan.
