  • hard object falls on soft pillow

    Posted by Matjaz Molnar on May 19, 2013 at 9:05 am

    Can someone explain me step by step, how to animate a hard ball to fall on a soft pillow (which is on a floor) and then it rolls down from the pillow?

    I know how to do the soft ball faling on the hard floor… But i never used cloth before so i want some advice. I’m working in R13.

    Thanks for the help!

    Unfortunately the cloth system doesn’t recognize collisions between two separate cloth objects. The better way to do this would be to use soft and hard body dynamics. If you only have cloth the only thing you can do is connect the ball and pillow into a single object and then use vertex maps to try to differentiate the two parts, e.g., make the ball stiffer and with higher flexion than the pillow.

    Hadn’t thought of that, but it could work.
