cloth animation – Collider

[Claudia Magnesa]

I have just tried to create a cube, made it editable and it works with the cloth, but as soon as I flipped it (changeing the scale to -1 in coordinates manager) the cube doesn’t collide with the cloth anymore, why? (the idea of flipping is because, looking at the file, the left arm collides with the cloth and the right arm doesn’t, so I though if I flip the left arm as right arm it might work, but it doesn’t, please help, I can’t understand why)

Thank you

Cloth will only collide with polygons that have their normals facing out. Select your geometry, go to polygon mode, select all, and have a look at how your normals are aligned. Make sure they’re all facing out (yellow shading in the default layout, vs. blue for reversed normals). You may be able to fix the problem by running the “align normals” command.

Hi, thank for your reply.
I have tried everything (but I guess I am doing something wrong) and nothing it is working. Is there an example somewhere, so I can see almost step by step. I don’t think I am getting it.
Sorry I am really beginners, as you have noticed.

Thank you

Hi I think it is working now, I had to delete the collider and set it again.
Thank you so much!!

Hi thank you very much for your reply. I think I have another problem. If you look at the image on this link (https://www.c4dportal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=24068#post24068), you can see the cloth collide with most of the object but there are couple of areas where I can see the pillow behind. Why? The image is from a render in picture viewer in that particular moment and if I create an animation preview I can see patches of the cloth doesn’t collide with the pillow. I checked the faces an they seem ok (I think). What do I do wrong?

Please help

Thank you

Is it possible to turn the “belt tag” on and off?
Thanks
