inconsistent cloth mesh deformation
i am using the cloth tag to disintegrate a text object (converted to mesh) however i have slight problem… the letter (As circled 1 in the image posted below)”S”‘s caps would deform very nicely..however the caps of letters (As circled 2 and 3 in the image posted below) “I,F,A” wont deform in a cloth-like manner as the caps of “S” would. they look much more stiff.
any workaround suggestion would be very welcome.
i am fairly new in c4d.here is the numbered screen shot:

Cloth is sensitive to how many polygons you have and howmany of those are triangles and so on. This means you will have a hard time getting a consistant result since your caps are N-gons.
For a solution I would suggest that you change the caps in your extrude nurbs from the default N-gons to Quads, then enable the grid option.

Dear Randy,
thanks for answering to my post. i thought similar…but was not able to figure out how to convert to ngons into quads. i found triangulate and a couple of other options in the functions menu…however i was not able to find the quadrangulate options. i know its a utter noob question!! but i would indeed appreciate.
regards

dear randy and everyone,
i guess i found it. i think you were talking about the quad options in EXTRUDE NURBS>CAPS>TYPE options. however it doesn’t solve the issue i was having in the firstplace. the straight letters are still too stiff.
any suggestions would be very welcome.
regards
MG

Randy is right about the caps, but you’ll also want to change your text spline to “Intermediate Points>Subdivided” and reduce the maximum length setting.
