How to dynamicaly wrap a sphere with clothe

Post by funky75 » 26 Mar 2014, 20:28

Hi,
i would like a grid on the floor to wrap totaly a sphere, like a ruban would do it if i would have an invicible hand :)
Any hint about how to do it.

Thank you.

Without using ICE, you can try Shrink Wrap deformer with closest surface type.
You can refine shape by handly and store shapes to use with animation mixers.

Other option may be use cloth simulation (syflex o other), and set positive values for gravity. Maybe you can need helper with attractors to closing totally.

I'm thinking in dressing up a picnic cloth-table. Is this the concept that you want?

Hi Unaided,
thank you for taking time to answer me. Yes its a picnic cloth-table that would wrap to a sphere that would fly just at 1 meter of the ground.
I'm not too easy with clothe sim but I will take a look.

Naim.
