Curtain in 3ds max

MITVIZ

why does 3ds max seem to destroy the polys in this region of the mesh when it makes the curtain? i would appreciate some help because i need to simulate a few curtains but this is strange, i also need to use the simulation in an animation and hoops need to be there and clean

Eric Chadwick

You need to add holes to the curtain.

MITVIZ

so basically add the holes before then

Eric Chadwick

Yes. The physics sim needs holes to hang the curtain on the curtain rod, just like in real life. You've created an impossible starting state... objects interpenetrating, so the simulation can't solve it predictably.

MITVIZ

ok i will try that
