3ds Max Tutorial | Cloth Simulation 

Thanks! I always thought those who render clothes in insane detail is crazily badass because they need to do the cloth simulation manually. I never thought it is so easy in 3ds max. Thanks for the video, i am very grateful :)

You're awesome. I have watched so many videos and tried so many times. The plane always have no action! It finally works!

Thank you so much, this video really helped me in designing props for some projects I'm working on.

Thanks for the tutorial~ being brand new to Max, this gave me a good first impression on just how powerful this software is!

I think I will! Thanks for the compliments :)

the reason why your box is clipping is because there's not enough geometry in it. increase the segments like your cloth.

If your vocals are going to be -22db, PLEASE turn your music down to the same volume as the AVERAGE volume of your speaking. PLEASE.

Thanks for the tutorial it really helped me with my major project.

I loved this tutorial, Keep making these

Thank you so much for very good tutorial!

Very nice work

Great Tutorial! This really helped me out a lot! Keep up the good work!

the island was a great intro music choice... best song ever

Nice refresher video. Thanks man!

This was happening to me too.But,I totally(also manually deleted hidden files after uninstallation) uninstalled and reinstalled 3ds max.And now again I can do that.Good luck.

Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much!

Thanks buddy. It was really nice and easy to understand

Yes :) Try adding a Wind Force. I've never tried it, but I'm sure it'll work!

Hey ur shows are AWESOME

mcloth is supposed to just be altered version of the cloth modifier, but now supports and can interacts with all of mass fx rigid and soft body objects

Thanks dude! it was helpful..

Thanks for your tutorial. I've refereshed practuically all about "Clothes" 3DSMAX tool. ;)

Great video man, thanks.

nice one. Great help, thanks!

Thanks for the tutorial it really helped me with my major project.

THANK YOU. I needed this for my assignment. My teacher is terrible at instructions.

Great tutorial, thank you very much.

a small tip for you, see those hard edges that eppeared after u simulated it as if the sheet is cut through by the table edges ? after you make simulation and u are done with modifier cloth, do shell gives thickness ;) i hope i helped

Thanks bro major help!

Thank you for doing this

Excellent. Minor point though, the bottom menus (e.g. Time Configuration) are "clipped" from the video.

Thank you for teaching! :)

I'm not too sure of that, but chamfering the hard edges and then Turbosmoothing them might help!

you increase the Subsample in the Simulation Parameters. and increase the thickness in the Object Properties, thickness setting will calculate how thick your fabric is.

Thanks really useful!

sure will

Thank you MAN. really found it Useful :D Gonna subscribe. ;)

thanks,..very usefull !

You understood me right, thats what I wanted! Thanks for reply, man. Reallly simple explanation. I hope, then I'll be able to import it back into Zbrush for further detailing ^_^

@TheTeeeenager Just increase the length and breadth segments. You can find them in the right pane.

Yes, what you could do is simulate with your character instead of the table. Let it go on for some time, then stop it. Then go through the frames and look for the frame you prefer, and delete all other frames. That would effectively give you what you want :) PM me if I misunderstood you.

awesome!!

After the simulation is complete, you can collapse it to a keyframed animation, then you can choose your preferred "look" from one of the keyframes.

OW thanx ^^ thats all i needed to hear ! :D

Awesome tutorial man!!! I just finished a key board and monitor in this program, I could use the cloth technique to create a scene unveiling the computer Monitor I created!!! ps you should do a video on modeling an avengers character other than iron man like capt America, or even better like a capt America shield with dents and bullet holes in it!!! that would be sick!!! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Hi, thanks for sharing, that was a nice tutorial but i´m looking for something a bit more complicated i guess, maybe not, hope you can help me, i need to do something like lets say cover a metal structure with a semi translucent or semi-transparent cloth, like that of a stocking maybe and i need it to look tightly wrapped around it so the cloth takes all the shapes, to later put some lights in it to create a fading effect, don't know if i'm clear enough explainig this, maybe i can send you a p.m with a sample image and see if you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Just like I used a table for the cloth to fall on, you can try to model a hanger and make the shirt hang on it, it will make the natural creases you want :) Hope that helps!

very interesting!

If you directly hit render without checking the 'save file' box in the render setup dialog, then 3ds Max does not save the file. It stays in the frame buffer (or the 'rendered frame window') till a new render is done. You can save it manually by clicking the save button on the top of the window.

Oh right! Why didn't I think of that? ;) Thanks dude!

thank you ....

in a node system you have an overview of all the connections made by you. Search about it, you will find it interesting and useful for more complex and realistic projects.

really thanks for the tutorial it is totally out of the box i dont have materials in cloths

hey for edge problem in cloth modifier try changing the offset value .cloth=5.0 and object =3.0

I haven't done characters AT ALL but you could try animating it, and making the character a Collision Object and Simulating. Should work, theoretically

thanks for the vidoes

Hahahaha "What the hell is this?!" totally made me LOL. Thanks a bunch for the tutorial. Worked to a 100% for me. :)

thanks... i learned a lot. :)

Thanks for the comment!

thanks bro...

You can add wind force.

ty for video...

ff you by 2x and you sounded like you're rapping but you still could be understood lol. thanks. now i understood why i couldnt do my simulation. i clicked my objects as inactive lol.

thanks a million!

I think you can animate the Collision object, and it should work out just fine.

And yeah, I am a 3dsmax user myself. But had a chance to compare to multiple different softwares.

dude you're awesome!

Try moving the cloth up then :) And to remove intersections, you could try scaling the cloth up just a bit!

Did you add the 'table' to the inactive group ? :)

Hi! Do you happen to know if i can start my simulation from the place that the cloth has actually already covering the object? If example i have created a table i would want that the cloth is on the table from beginning rather than see it falling over it? Thanks.

great tutorial bro . but how can i simulate hanging clothes, like a pair of jeans hanging from one point ?

Perfect !

Hi Can I simulate a plastic gear rotating on a zipper tape using this software? I would like to see the deformation on the zipper tape when a couple of rotating plastic gear rotating & sink on both sides of the zipper tape? Thank you.

Thanks for the tutorial!

I've never tried putting a cloth on an animated object, but I'm pretty sure it should work..

Nice tut.....but if I have a model with t-shirt & want want to simulate it while the model walking.....what should I do for that ?

thank thanks

Could u make a tutorial for a parachute cloth simulation please!

Nice tutorial, but i like more to use a spline and do garment maker modifier and does a random internal structure that look more natural in my opinion when simulating clothing. cheers.

Oh i see , thank you :D

Yep.

and did you do the iron man helmet using blue prints ? thanks for the video ..

Hello mate, it´s very nice your method. I have a problem when I simulate the process. The point is that when i simulate, the cloth do not touch the objetc when it starts bending...as if there would be a invisible object...any idea of this problem? Thank You

thnx mate :)

Hi, thanks for this. Sadly i have a problem, when I simulate it does not look like your cloth at all, more like its some hard leather or something, no cloth detail. I set the Silk preset, same thing.

I got a question. I am planning to make a Mirror's Edge animation and I would like to make physics for Faith's hair. Any tips on how to make thick, cloth like objects?

That's new... What does it do when clicked? Did you add the cloth and table to the respective groups (Collision Object/Cloth). Try creating a new scene and see if the same happens..

good

hi...how a made a wrapinng mesh animation with cloth??!

sir can you please help with an advice .. what is the best program for animating, fantasy and video game kind of stuff (like final fantasy VIII) :) ? thanx a lot !

I can agree with that. I've seen Houdini and Maya in action, I even used them for a while and they are great in comparison to 3DS Max. Better than that probably C4D only. Blender is kinda shitty for a newbie but once you get the hang of it you are unstoppable in the kind of results you get and on the speed to make anything. Make a big city on 3DS Max under 20 minutes, I dare you CoreYaeX C4D and Blender

Hello. Nice tutorial. I`ve got a problem if anyone can help me to this. When I start to simulate it stops in 18 position writing end solve...and is not solve. It also automatically gives an altitude from collision object... anyone?

Oh, that's not a PNG problem :D You need to change the output frames (the first option in the render setup dialog). It will be set to Single by default. Change it to Range, and input the range of frames you want to render, ex. from 1 to 100 :)

hey man i just watched ur cloth stimulation video on the iron man head it was awasome oh my name is harsh can u give me more tips so that i can do my projects well

@Ron619productions The song right? Yep :D

hey how did you increase the detail level triagles/quads whatever of the cloth? im new to 3ds infact brand new

I have one big question, I think it does concern clothing: Sure you make the simulation... But if you want to make a cloth that has different colors on each side? Will I have to add shell modiffier and pray for it to do not crash?

It is, but the cloth simulator does not treat sharp surfaces well. The cloth will not act like it is supposed to.

thaaaank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu toooooooo much
