  • Cannot get cloth tag to work

    Posted by Ian Watkins on November 28, 2017 at 5:59 pm

    I’m trying to make a simple table cloth. I’m following all the tutorials exactly. I put the cloth tag on the table cloth, and a cloth collider tag on the table, and when I hit play nothing happens. The table cloth doesn’t move.

    To check and make sure things are working, I made a rigid body and collider body tag on the items, and those worked fine; the table cloth dropped on the table and bounced stiff as a board. Not sure what I’m missing. I’m running C4D R18.057 Studio.

    You need to make the cloth object a polygon object — make it editable. (CMD-C). See the help file for “Cloth Tag.”

    Edit: Whoops. I meant C for the keyboard shortcut

    Yes that’s exactly the problem. Thank you so much.
