3dxmax - selection GROW over TIME

olivierth

Hi,

I have a plane with a bunch of segments and I want to apply some cloth simulations on it. I need the cloth to only affect one side and I need it to affect more and more of the plane until the whole thing is simulated.

I understand I can do a vertex selection to choose what will be affected but I need this selection to grow over time. How can I achieve this?

Thanks!

Hi, any chance it would be good enough to use Volume Select modifier with animated gizmo scale/animated volume object?

I had never used that. Nice to know!

Sadly, in the cloth modifier, I need to select some verts and create a group from those. I don't think it's possible to somehow have that vol. select modifier change my group selection dynamically . Actually, the way the cloth groups work, I think there's no way to animate the selection. The only thing I can animate is the soft selection but it's not doing what I need.
