Sketchfab Simulation Challenge: Cloth

Back to overview

This month’s 3D simulation challenge is all about cloth, fabric, textiles, tarpaulins and beyond. We want you to dial up some settings in your favourite cloth simulation plugin and add something soft to your scene – tablecloths, capes, dresses, flags, tarps or anything else that waves in the wind. 

We’d love to see some true cloth simulations, but if you want to sculpt or scan your cloth that’s fine too. Static or animated scenes are welcome.

Update: Winner – The Unbelievable Magic Trick by mrfsandor

Here’s some inspiration:

TL;DR: Create a scene using your favourite workflow that significantly features cloth or fabric as a main element, upload it to Sketchfab and tag it with #ClothSimChallenge
