Description : ClothWorks is a powerful fabric simulation extension/plugin specifically designed for SketchUp. It can very easily and realistically simulate various fabric effects in SketchUp, such as the deformation of flags, curtains, tablecloths, etc., distorted by forces such as gravity and wind.
ClothWorks has a very user-friendly control panel and powerful fabric modeling capabilities, and is definitely the most powerful fabric modeling plugin for SketchUp. Not only can we use it to make tablecloths, curtains, sheets, flags and other fabric items more realistic and easy, but we can also simulate the movement of fabrics through animation. This greatly improves the efficiency of fabric model production. In addition, fabric maps can very accurately automatically correct the deformation of fabric in ClothWorks, without the user having to re-specify the map coordinates.
In fact, the cloth simulation function existed in MSphysics before, but its functions are still imperfect in all aspects. ClothWorks is more professional and powerful in comparison. Of course, you will find that it is very similar to the cloth simulation tool in Autodesk 3ds Max. In fact, they all work the same way. If you find that the simulated cloth is very unnatural, you can use the unique Lapras smoothing function in ClothWorks to solve this problem with one click.
Function :
• Support fast simulation of cloth affected by gravity.
• Simulate deformation caused by external force such as wind.
• With this plugin, you can better perform simulation of various tablecloths, flags
. • Objects created with this plugin are more realistic.
• Support easy animation production .
• Cloth texture supports automatic cloth correction.
• No map coordinates required.
