Help Cloth to simulate slime

[josemendez]

All that information is very useful, thanks. Again, my coding skills are very basic, apologies if I mixed the thread up with programming questions.

So I've been playing around with various parameters for the slime cloth and as mentioned before, I tried using height, normal and occlusion maps on materials to get the "depth" and "folds" effects.

Nothing I did could reproduce this effect.

As you can see, ignoring the colour and lighting changes, the slime shown here reforms very slowly and creates actual folds in the object. How do I create these "folds"? No amount of material modification seems to help, as what's shown here seems to be true mesh manipulation.

Next, instead of using a flat square plane mesh, I tried out using something like this -



This is a low poly "rough surface" mesh. I fixed all of it's edge particles, then initialized it as a new cloth. But instead of deforming properly on touch, it creates huge graphical glitches (Infinite stretching on mouse touch, etc).

Is there no way I can reproduce the aforementioned style of slime correctly on cloth objects? I've tried alternating everything, from damping, slack, stretch, etc. but in vain.

Use a mesh that's not a flat plane, but has some folds. The one you show here should work fine. However, make sure that your export it with unit scale. (scale = <1,1,1>). 99% of the issues I see regarding exploding cloth are because the mesh has a random scale value, and the topology has a completely different one. The easiest way to get consistent scaling from your 3D package->Unity->Obi is to just use unit scale.
