Kangaroo 2: Getting mesh to drape over geometry

[rabitox619]

I’m trying to get a surface (1.) to ‘drape’ over some geometry (2.). (See attached)

I don’t know where to begin, I assume this would be a job for Kangaroo?

I would preferably like control over the ‘stiffness’ of the cloth/surface (how much it deforms over the geometry it is being droped on.)

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi - see this thread for an example:

How to create a circus tent with believable fabric folds/flaps etc?

I completely agree that for simple things like a panel with a slight sag, there’s no reason to simulate for visual purposes. Also I expect that the finer wrinkles and creases in the fabric in the first images posted are just a good texture or bump map. For more complex folded fabrics though, I think I’d struggle to make it look realistic just modelling manually. Anyway, here’s another example with some draping over solid objects. drape_over.gh (52.1 KB) [image] One issue I was sometimes fi…
