    What I am trying to create is products bursting through paper. Almost as if they were high school football players running through the cheerleader’s huge paper sign and onto the field. Is there a way to do that via the cloth tag? Can anyone offer any insight or direct me to any decent tutorials? I was going to use the explosion effect, but that was a last resort.

    You can use cloth for this. You have to use it in conjunction with the clothnurbs object, and check the “tear” box in the cloth tag (tag tab).

    bringing this thread from the graveyard-Im trying to accomplish the “players through a banner” look also. Been playing with cloth settings for a while and cant seem to get it right. If any experts see this and would like to help me out with a couple of questions, it is much appreciated.

    *the object bursting through banner is actually taller than the banner, so it is also kind of like the tape at the end of a race (object isnt hidden by banner).
    1-I want the banner to tear along a “seam” so that it appears an object rips through it, right now a huge chunk of cloth sticks to the front of the moving object. is there a way to paint a vertex map to tell it to rip along a single row of points?

    2-Is there a way to “freeze” movement of a static cloth, so that it has the appearance of a banner (some give to the fabric, some very tiny ripples)? I can’t figure out how to accomplish this with wind.
