Hello.
My cloth curtains seem to work at random - at some points they do and at others they remain planar, although warped. I would like to know if anyone has had a similar experience, what it was caused by and how to get around it.
I’ve followed a fewtutorials on making curtains to the letter and have produced a few okay results, but when it comes to the project with a deadline the cloth doesn’t want to make folds or do anything physically logical. In the same file I managed to make a proper curtain right before. The procedure I used was:
- add plane
- subdivide
- make vertex group
- add shape key and set to 1
- scale in the vertices, shape key to 0 and keyframe.
- skip x frames, shape key to 1 and keyframe
- animate
But this exact procedure only works at random.
Coincidentally, I had two Blenders (zip type and installer type) open at the time. I don’t think I can add an image of what I mean. But there really is not much more to say than “it doesn’t make creases” and “the upper part is pinched while the rest is still a plane”.
