Pressurizing the cloth

…When the cloth system was originally added to the three DS Max application one…feature that was missing and so was…subsequently much requested up until this edition.…Was the ability to create pressurized volumes inside cloth simulations.…To demonstrate the very different behavior that…this feature can produce for us, we have…in our stat scene a simple sphere object that is currently sitting up in the air.…This has been set up as a cloth object with the cotton preset applied,…whilst the table and floor geometries have…been added to the simulation as collision objects.…

Indeed, if I go ahead and scrub the timeline here, you can see…the cache simulation and the resulting cloth motion that this basic setup yields.…In fact, if I just go ahead and use the play button here, we…can see that upon contact with the table, our cloth geometry simply crumbles up.…Sliding slowly over the edge, and eventually falls…to the floor where it lies in a heap.…Now, visually, this scenario makes very little sense to us,…as nothing explains why the cloth object starts the sequence.…
