Cloth Simulation

Hey you coders out there! Sorry if you already know about this, but theres a great cloth simulation program at http://freecloth.enigmati.ca/

Open source, of course. Integrate maybe?

yes. this link was posted before. but thanks anyway…

Still nice to look at huh. :slight_smile:

im going to start counting how many times you’ve reposted information that has already been posted…

Warning: This is also information that has already been posted at the Blender.org forums, here. I posted these links there in response the the very same Freecloth link as above. This is for the benefit of those who do not frequent the Blender.org forums.

This is series of links about cloth simulation, both general information and specific open source implemantations. Hope this is some help to those interested in this topic.

This site is no longer online. It was a project by Reyes Infografica (makers of ClothReyes) to Open Source all their code and integrate it into one large 3D project. Details on what happend to these plans are sparse … anyone know any details?
