Thicker cloth - PawleyBoboli - 09-03-2018

Hi Folks,

I am enjoying getting to know obi Cloth.  The behaviours I would like for my game are working out great, but I would like to give my cloth more thickness - similar to a tapestry or carpet.  Right now the stiffness and bendability are good, but the fabric looks as thin as a piece of paper (a single plane).  Can anyone tell me how I might be able to get more thickness?

Thanks for any help,
PB

Hi!

You should use proxies for this. Use a flat mesh for simulation, then drive a thick mesh using it. See:
