Damping controls

Damping controls

Besides, being able to use the material controls to both create and fine tune very specific cloth motions and fabric types. We also have available a set of damping controls in blender that have been designed to help further modify the motion, and look that we are getting from our cloth. One of these controls, air, helps us recreate or attempt to recreate a real world phenomena. This being the drag or air resistance that is naturally applied to the motion of all cloth objects in real life. As noted, drag can be thought of as a counter force that pushes against, or tries to nullify the effects of gravity on an object. To help demonstrate how this parameter works in blender, we have a variation in our stats in here. But first of all, sees the table disappear but that also, sees the addition of a second piece of cloth geometry. Now, currently, both cloth objects are sharing identical cloth modifier settings. In fact, if I just run the simulation, we can see that they both behave in a…
