  • (keyframing) Moving soft body/cloth problem

    Posted by Simeon In ‘t veld on December 6, 2017 at 12:47 pm

    I Want to have a simple scene where I want to animate a sphere to move aroung in various ways (using keyframes) I then want it to deform little according to it’s motion. (squashing and stretching) using a soft body or a cloth tag.

    But when I apply one of the two tags There is no posibility to move the object anymore whatsoever. So.. What must I do to combine position keyframs and soft body?

    Doesn’t sound too difficult does it?

    You can either have keyframed motion or dynamics, but not both. When dynamics is enabled with any of the Simulation tags keyframing is ignored.

    Look into using the Jiggle deformer, or for more control check out the free plugin Gélatine by Code Vonc:
