Hey there,

I bought the asset yesterday mainly due to the fact you can tear the cloth. I was wondering if you are able to make precise cuts (example; if you were to use a knife to cut a straight line) with the asset. If it is possible, could you point me in the right direction? Also is there documentation for this asset?

Thank you,
dy

Hi,

“Precise” cuts are not supported, because they would require runtime remeshing which is a really expensive operation. Only tearing along existing mesh edges is supported, like in most cloth simulators.

The manual/docs can be found here:
