Help Is it possible to make the cloth taut in real time?

Is it possible to make the cloth taut in real time? For a camping simulation to set up a tent, I'd like to "pin" the cloth down in the corners and make it taut.

You can scale down the distance constraints by setting the stretching scale to something < 1:

This will make it "shrink", which will tense it up if its edges have been pinned down.

Great, thank you!

Another question, do you know how I can get the particle index from collision to change it to fixed from unfixed upon collision in the script? I read that you can set the particle position, but I didn't see if there was a method to get the index.

just use

Code:

int index = contact.particle;
