How to reduce springiness of cloth? - a12345 - 10-02-2018

Hi,

My obi cloth component is extremely springy. When my character rises up from the crouch position really fast, the cloth bounces up like a spring. Is there any way to reduce the springiness or the cloth? Add damping or friction?

I changed the damping parameter in the obisolver and turned it up almost all the way to 1. This did help a bit but still sudden movements cause a lot of movement in the cloth

Hi,

Increasing damping will of course dampen the cloth velocity, making it behave as if it was underwater. Increase the amount of distance constraint iterations to get the cloth to be less stretchy. Alternatively, decrease Unity's fixed timestep.
