    Hi there,

    Does anyone have any idea how to make Clothilde work in slow motion.

    I made a nice piece of flowing fabric at 25fps, which I then rendered out at 150fps, making it 6x slowmo when I look at the render at 25… that’s fine, except that the movement has a strange cadence, since 5 out of every 6 frames hasn’t been calculated by Clothilde, but is interpolated in a linear fashion by C4D.

    A-ha, I think, I’ll just set the whole project to 150fps, recalculate the Clothilde and that way every frame will be calculated by Clothilde. Except, that Clothilde doesn’t seem to take any notice of the frame rate. At 150 fps, the cloth animation goes 6x faster.

    I would have assumed that at 150 fps, my animation would be in roughly the same state at frame 150 as it was before at frame 25, but this doesn’t figure. If I go and turn all the forces down by 6 times, the material doesn’t respond in the same way.

    Is there a workaround for this?

    Thanks if you can help..

    Ben.

    Use the Point Cache Tag ( instead of cacheing within the Cloth tag).
    Then use the PointCache Scale parameter to slow it down.

    Hi Lennart,

    That’s a new one on me! Thanks for the tip, I’ll give it a go.

    Hi again Lennart,

    Can you tell me where I can find the point cache tag. I only have 3 Clothilde tags and I can’t seem to find point cache anywhere else in Cinema (v10)

    Best,

    Ben.

    It’s in the Character Tags (Clothhilde is really part of the Mocca character tools)
