  • Cloth Collision – Basketball Hoop. Cloth/Net sticks to ball?

    Posted by Joe Rask on June 11, 2010 at 3:38 pm

    I’ve tried every setting for this cloth tag, searched tutorials for hours, looked through the help files.

    I cannot get this thing to unstick. It’s fine if it sticks just a little, but this is way too much. I’ve even tried using a smaller ball, and it still sticks to where the ball touches.

    Steps used:

    -created cone and sphere
    -seperated outside segments of cone
    -converted those points to spline
    -added Cloth Tag to hoop(cone) and Cloth Collision to ball(sphere)
    -fixed top points of hoop(cone) using dresser

    I just tried a scene starting out with a cylinder for the net and it works fine.

    Hey Adam,

    Thanks for the attempt- yes it works, but now try and speed up the tween. If the ball animation goes quick, you will notice how the net sticks to the ball and stretches beyond normal.

    Any ideas?

    Joe, your question and mini-tut inspired me to try on my own, thx! I had some success by increasing the subsampling in the expert tab of the cloth tag. I added a cloner object incl. sphere thrown by initial speed (rigid body tag) and added a little Xpresso to make another sphere follow it (for net collision). I ended up with 3 spheres (one invisible thrown by modynamics, one invisible bound in pos/rot to deform the net and a third for the the visible basketball (also bound using Xpresso). All spheres same size. Needed three for Xpresso vs. Cloth priority issues.

    First quick test worked.
