WEBVTT 00:00.270 --> 00:00.900 Welcome back. 00:00.960 --> 00:05.310 In this lesson, we're going to finish out this kind of banter here and we're going to add the kind 00:05.310 --> 00:09.180 of banner pieces to the core now with and cloth. 00:09.510 --> 00:15.180 So I'm going to create a plane and I'm going to scale it up. 00:16.730 --> 00:25.460 And I'm actually going to go to maybe frame let's start at the first frame here, because we're going 00:25.460 --> 00:31.100 to use the same nuclease as the in here and the start frame, if you remember, is frame 700. 00:31.100 --> 00:36.110 So I want to make sure that they are both starting on the same frame when we start to simulate them. 00:36.420 --> 00:39.270 And it's always good to kind of start everything off together. 00:39.650 --> 00:45.560 So right now, this is just about getting these kind of banner pieces to be the right size. 00:46.280 --> 00:52.400 And what I'm going to show you, you'll do a couple of times over because you ought to do it for each 00:52.820 --> 00:53.780 banner piece. 00:54.240 --> 00:55.730 That's not too complicated. 00:55.740 --> 00:56.920 It just takes a little bit of time. 00:57.380 --> 01:01.210 So basically, just going to try to get this in line here. 01:01.550 --> 01:06.200 And so there should be no easy rotation. 01:06.210 --> 01:07.400 This should be 90. 01:07.730 --> 01:14.090 And so really all we're trying to line up is this zero rotation right here. 01:14.090 --> 01:18.290 And it doesn't have to be perfect, but just to kind of get it in the neighborhood. 01:19.250 --> 01:19.620 Cool. 01:19.640 --> 01:24.730 So it looks like we're there and the next thing we want to do is create a locator. 01:25.100 --> 01:34.100 So I'm going to go over to create locator and I'm going to shift like the curve and then go to the animation 01:34.100 --> 01:40.190 menu and go to constrain motion pass attached to motion path, which you should already be familiar 01:40.190 --> 01:44.400 with from the animation section of this course. 01:44.840 --> 01:49.880 So now we have this locator so we can just call this Baner one locator. 01:52.480 --> 01:58.250 You can tell the scene can get pretty messy and in reality, because we've cash for this stuff, we 01:58.250 --> 01:59.020 could just delete it. 01:59.890 --> 02:05.110 Besides the Olympic cash, like the Firefly stuff, we could just delete all of this stuff and then 02:06.220 --> 02:10.090 to delete the MASH network, we would want to use the MASH Ed. 02:10.120 --> 02:13.240 And I think it's just off a screen here. 02:13.250 --> 02:15.370 Yeah, because we leave and turn that off anyway. 02:15.370 --> 02:20.830 But just for the sake of, you know, if we wanted to make those changes later, I'm going to leave 02:20.830 --> 02:21.040 that. 02:21.040 --> 02:25.980 And for now, but just know that you could clean this up and, you know, delete delete some of this. 02:25.990 --> 02:28.990 And anyway, let's get back to the banter part. 02:30.100 --> 02:31.690 So I if I get off on tangents like that. 02:31.690 --> 02:35.320 But yeah, I just want you to know all this stuff's possible. 02:35.320 --> 02:37.600 So we have the locator. 02:37.600 --> 02:38.790 Let's increase the size. 02:38.800 --> 02:44.440 We can kind of see it and then let's go to the motion passed one input and we see we actually have a 02:44.440 --> 02:46.840 keyframe already set and they kind of default. 02:46.840 --> 02:50.080 As you can see, there's keyframes down here from 700 to the very end. 02:50.380 --> 02:58.660 And basically the default is that it's going to run as a motion path across this whole curve throughout 02:58.670 --> 02:59.530 the time. 02:59.530 --> 03:03.760 Whatever we have, the time slot are set to actually just delete that because we're not going to use 03:03.760 --> 03:04.360 it in that way. 03:04.690 --> 03:06.190 So we'll just say delete selected. 03:07.180 --> 03:12.550 And let's go back to frame 700, the beginning of the simulation with the you value selected here. 03:12.550 --> 03:18.820 I'm going to middle mouse drag in the viewport and you can just see I can move that value over to somewhere, 03:18.820 --> 03:21.040 you know, in the middle of this Baner piece. 03:21.080 --> 03:22.870 Doesn't have to be perfect. 03:22.870 --> 03:25.720 But yeah, we can shifts like that. 03:25.720 --> 03:25.900 Yeah. 03:25.930 --> 03:27.270 Looks like it's pretty close to the middle. 03:27.670 --> 03:31.540 So now all we have to do is turn this into an enclosed cloth simulation. 03:31.810 --> 03:38.620 So I'm going to go back to the effects shelf here, panel, and you set and then go over to in cloth 03:39.040 --> 03:40.900 and we can just say create and cloth. 03:41.230 --> 03:46.600 I'm going to open up this option box just to show you that we could create a new solver if we wanted 03:46.600 --> 03:46.900 to. 03:47.200 --> 03:52.390 But since we already have that nucleus from the entire system and we already set the correct space scale, 03:52.720 --> 04:01.780 and just in case, if we ever wanted to go back and adjust the the curve, the cord here, that if we 04:01.780 --> 04:07.780 want to adjust the nucleus settings because like the nucleus has, we can we could add a win to this. 04:07.780 --> 04:10.420 So there could be kind of little flutter you stuff. 04:10.420 --> 04:12.970 And we we want them both to be affected by that. 04:13.240 --> 04:15.370 So we want them to have the same nucleus system. 04:15.370 --> 04:17.170 So the default here is going to work for us. 04:17.500 --> 04:19.540 So let me just get back to clicking on that. 04:19.540 --> 04:28.330 So ATLE and Klaw on this and also know that the number of subdivisions will affect your simulation because 04:28.330 --> 04:33.100 this is going to deform based on the number of subdivisions you have. 04:33.790 --> 04:40.360 So if this was just like one piece, like if we just went here and just turned this down to one, this 04:40.390 --> 04:46.720 would not simulate well we want those subdivisions and so we don't want to go too crazy. 04:46.720 --> 04:50.620 It's definitely a kind of balance between having too much. 04:50.620 --> 04:56.410 And that's just more computational power that you're going to have to wait through and maybe even crash 04:56.410 --> 04:57.520 your computer if it's too much. 04:57.520 --> 05:01.240 So, you know, we want to find a happy medium and the default here should work for us. 05:01.600 --> 05:06.760 So now we can create a cloth and we're going to get a new cloth node here. 05:07.060 --> 05:12.160 And I'm going to call this banner one so we can associate it with that locator. 05:12.640 --> 05:19.270 And in cloth one, since we're calling this one, we will know this and cloth is associated with that 05:19.270 --> 05:19.720 one. 05:20.410 --> 05:23.980 So let's go over to the end cloth settings here. 05:23.980 --> 05:25.870 And similarly, look look here. 05:26.500 --> 05:29.290 You know, I mentioned this in the last lesson that will see this again. 05:29.290 --> 05:32.950 And in fact, we are the stretch resistance and compression resistance. 05:32.950 --> 05:37.300 We can just increase because, you know, this is not a stretchy piece of material. 05:37.330 --> 05:42.730 This is if we look at our reference, this is, you know, most likely a piece of paper of some kind. 05:43.090 --> 05:47.620 So it shouldn't stretch and compress, but it will fold and move. 05:47.950 --> 05:50.830 And that's a lot of activity outside. 05:50.830 --> 05:51.640 Don't know if you can hear that. 05:52.900 --> 05:57.190 But so that's why we want to increase those and the next thing we want to do. 05:57.190 --> 06:01.930 So if we just hit play, this is just going to fall to the ground so we can play and it's just going 06:01.930 --> 06:07.150 to fall the same rate as the cord because they're using the same and cloth solver and it's going to 06:07.150 --> 06:08.890 kind of fold up and get a little crazy there. 06:09.250 --> 06:10.720 So we don't want that to happen. 06:10.720 --> 06:13.120 We want to attach it to the curve here. 06:13.540 --> 06:18.130 So I'm going to make that a little smaller so we don't have to see all this stuff. 06:18.820 --> 06:25.930 And so how we connect in cloths to anything really is through in constraints. 06:26.200 --> 06:27.880 They really like that in thing. 06:27.880 --> 06:31.300 If you look up here, it's as in cloth in here and constraint in cash. 06:31.300 --> 06:34.000 And they used to call this in dynamics. 06:34.450 --> 06:36.730 So anyway, that's they're keeping the end thing there. 06:38.290 --> 06:40.990 So we need to create a constraint. 06:40.990 --> 06:45.880 And that's why we made this locator, because we're going to constrain just this top row vertices to 06:45.880 --> 06:46.720 this locator. 06:46.720 --> 06:51.430 And how we do that is just by going to the edge and I'm going to select one end. 06:51.540 --> 06:56.940 And double click the other, and then I'm going to shift selected the locator, go up to and constraint 06:57.270 --> 06:59.900 and I'm going to call this a transfer constraint. 06:59.910 --> 07:06.600 There's a bunch of different types of constraints, you know, terrible services, obviously specific 07:06.600 --> 07:07.650 to in cloth. 07:08.820 --> 07:10.110 But there's all these different types. 07:10.110 --> 07:12.120 But transformers, a pretty solid one. 07:12.460 --> 07:17.580 And you can see that now we have these little points right at each vertices. 07:18.000 --> 07:20.060 That is the end constraint. 07:20.430 --> 07:27.090 So if we go to the attribute editor here, we can see that there's also a new tab and we can increase 07:27.090 --> 07:28.470 the glue strength. 07:28.680 --> 07:33.330 You can see, you know, if you remember the bullet system glue, they're using the same word here and 07:33.330 --> 07:34.470 it means the same thing. 07:34.800 --> 07:39.230 They're trying to make sure this stuff attaches so you can actually animate this on and off. 07:39.240 --> 07:39.450 You could. 07:39.480 --> 07:39.720 Right. 07:39.720 --> 07:40.860 Click and set a key here. 07:41.640 --> 07:43.320 But we just want to make sure that's always connected. 07:43.330 --> 07:44.940 So I'm just going to crank that all the way up. 07:45.420 --> 07:52.740 And now when we because we've already cache the curve that we're not having to simulate the curve anymore, 07:52.770 --> 07:55.220 we're only simulating this one piece of the banner. 07:55.620 --> 07:59.190 So now I can jump back to frame seven hundred. 07:59.190 --> 08:03.590 It's using the same nucleus to the start frame down here is already on 700. 08:03.810 --> 08:10.620 So now we can hit play and we can watch this thing simulate and it looks like it's kind of working already 08:10.620 --> 08:12.810 and we might not have to do much more than that. 08:13.110 --> 08:19.210 You can see it kind of is wavy a little bit, and that looks like that'll work pretty much. 08:19.770 --> 08:22.850 So what I'm going to do is I'm going to cash this out as well. 08:22.860 --> 08:24.450 And then I call that banner one. 08:24.840 --> 08:29.370 And, you know, it's important, you know, to keep track of this stuff. 08:29.370 --> 08:34.920 As you update, you might have to replace Banner one cash and not banner two or something. 08:34.920 --> 08:40.500 So you want to make sure that you're naming things correctly and that so that way you can update if 08:40.500 --> 08:42.450 there's any changes that you need to make later. 08:42.670 --> 08:43.920 It's not very confusing. 08:44.250 --> 08:49.110 So to make the encash, let's just select the piece of geometry here. 08:49.440 --> 08:55.920 We'll go to encash and create new cache again as an object and we'll just stay in shape instead of that 08:55.920 --> 08:59.940 will say Baner 01. 09:00.690 --> 09:05.940 And I think, you know, it's good that we call the other one Baner curve, so that differentiates them. 09:07.740 --> 09:08.160 But yeah. 09:08.160 --> 09:11.010 So we want one file at the time, slider. 09:11.040 --> 09:11.910 It's going to be fine. 09:12.420 --> 09:15.570 So I'm going to hit the cash button and I'll see you in one second to review it. 09:29.940 --> 09:35.340 OK, so we've cached this banner and we can see that there's actually like a little air here, that 09:35.550 --> 09:43.140 the cash or the sorry, the geometry is kind of penetrating itself here, interpenetrating. 09:43.140 --> 09:44.790 So we need to fix that. 09:45.180 --> 09:48.240 And probably the quickest and easiest way to do that. 09:48.240 --> 09:54.480 And it happened when looks like, you know, the curve moved here, went on impact, definitely looks 09:54.480 --> 09:59.940 pretty cool and that we're going to get all this motion after that impact. 10:00.390 --> 10:08.420 But we need to fix this interpenetration so it stays kind of almost rigid, really. 10:08.610 --> 10:10.110 So there's a couple of different things we could do. 10:10.110 --> 10:11.340 We could increase the steps. 10:11.340 --> 10:18.720 So if to the nucleus we look at some steps and max collision irritations, we can just increase these, 10:18.990 --> 10:26.040 you know, maybe to like, let's just do 12 and 12 just to crank it up. 10:26.040 --> 10:34.470 And then we can select this piece and we can go to collisions and we can scroll down to quality settings 10:34.800 --> 10:41.550 and then just increase the Max Self Cleide iterations so that when it's colliding with itself, it won't 10:41.550 --> 10:44.400 stop calculating after, you know, whatever. 10:44.400 --> 10:50.150 Let's just say 12 kind of colliding moments here. 10:50.550 --> 10:53.630 So when we recast this, that should solve that. 10:53.640 --> 10:57.810 But the other thing we could do is take a look at some of these other attributes here. 10:59.520 --> 11:01.080 Lift might be a little high. 11:01.620 --> 11:03.390 That's how it's kind of floating around a lot. 11:03.390 --> 11:11.230 So we could maybe reduce the lift just like by a touch here and then we could increase the rigidity. 11:11.250 --> 11:14.970 So it's not as floppy because this is paper. 11:14.970 --> 11:17.340 It's not going to, you know, maybe be as floppy. 11:17.340 --> 11:23.460 So we could just, like, crank that up by a little bit and hopefully see that that gives us a better 11:23.640 --> 11:24.380 simulation. 11:24.390 --> 11:26.250 So I'm going to rehash this. 11:26.670 --> 11:30.540 And so I'm going to scroll back to that first 700 frame. 11:30.990 --> 11:38.500 And when I go to Encash again and I say create new in cash and I open up the option box, I'm going 11:38.500 --> 11:39.750 to call a banner one again. 11:40.050 --> 11:45.600 So when I hit Create, it's going to give me an error message and it's going to say add a replace and 11:45.810 --> 11:46.980 we want to replace. 11:46.980 --> 11:53.520 So that is going to give us another warning to say what we want to do is replace existing. 11:53.520 --> 11:57.840 We just want to replace all this stuff because we've made these changes in that first one didn't work 11:57.840 --> 11:58.120 at all. 11:58.500 --> 12:01.440 So now we can watch this cache complete. 12:01.440 --> 12:07.350 You can see just already that it's a much more rigid than previously. 12:07.350 --> 12:12.930 So we could hit escape and stop this and reduce the rigidity, but mean let this play all the way through 12:13.230 --> 12:15.180 and let you experiment with this. 12:15.180 --> 12:22.770 And so the last thing that I would say to do, which you already know how to do, is to extrude a curve 12:23.250 --> 12:26.640 along this curve if you've watched the modeling section. 12:26.640 --> 12:29.210 So I will show you how to do that. 12:29.220 --> 12:31.950 And one second when this cache is done. 12:32.190 --> 12:32.820 Thanks for watching. 12:48.110 --> 12:53.600 So we can see that the rigidity is is maybe too much, so we can just slow down and recast it again. 12:53.930 --> 12:59.870 But what I want to show you real quick, if you've forgotten from a previous lesson, is just how we 12:59.870 --> 13:01.610 could extrude something over this. 13:01.610 --> 13:09.050 We could do, you know, a couple different things if we want to do this, just to just keep it simple. 13:09.830 --> 13:10.180 Yes. 13:10.190 --> 13:11.170 Just to a cylinder. 13:11.180 --> 13:12.910 And so I've created a cylinder. 13:13.190 --> 13:17.120 It's off the screen somewhere or someone hold down C and middle mouse drag here. 13:17.120 --> 13:25.730 So it'll get on the curve and then we'll just kind of in general get this to an OK spot. 13:26.060 --> 13:30.860 You know, I'm trying to look at this center point that it's kind of headed in the right direction here 13:30.860 --> 13:31.820 down the curve. 13:32.510 --> 13:36.610 And then we can select the faces here somewhere. 13:36.620 --> 13:36.980 Right. 13:36.980 --> 13:44.060 Click and go down to face and select the faces, deselect these back ones and then select the curve 13:44.390 --> 13:47.600 and go to extrude and it's going to be all wonky. 13:47.600 --> 13:49.520 So we just increase the divisions. 13:49.910 --> 13:58.550 I think we had 25 CVS, so we should that should be plenty for this. 13:58.730 --> 13:59.600 Looks like it is. 14:00.860 --> 14:01.580 And yeah. 14:01.580 --> 14:08.810 That we can just dial in the thickness of the cylinder through its first input when it's originally 14:08.810 --> 14:09.170 created. 14:09.170 --> 14:16.130 So we can go over here, go to the cylinder and then we should still be able to affect the radius here. 14:16.130 --> 14:21.440 So yeah, we can just make that a little smaller and just mess with that later if we want. 14:21.920 --> 14:24.410 But yeah, play around with these rigidity settings. 14:24.410 --> 14:29.570 I'm going to lower mine a little bit so it has a little more motion back into it, maybe because it 14:29.570 --> 14:30.980 was set at zero by default. 14:30.980 --> 14:34.310 So let's just maybe say like point two or something. 14:34.790 --> 14:39.980 But yeah, I will see in the next lesson where we will continue learning dynamics. 14:40.010 --> 14:40.640 Thanks for watching.
