Features
- Intuitive UI
- This is the biggest strength of the add-on. All the tools are neatly arranged in a single panel in the Blender interface, making it easy to access and use. Parameters are named in easy-to-understand ways and come with icons, eliminating the clutter of the default system.
- Cloth Library
- Simply Cloth Studio comes with a library of preset fabrics. You just need to select the fabric you want such as Cotton, Denim, Silk, Leather, Rubber… and the add-on will automatically apply the correct physical parameters to your object. This saves a lot of time testing and tweaking.
- Pressure Simulation
- This is an extremely powerful feature for creating inflatable objects such as pillows, cushions, sofas, or life jackets. With just a few clicks, you can simulate the air pressure inside a fabric object, creating natural bulges and wrinkles when pressed.
- Advanced Pinning Tools
- “Pinning” is a technique of holding one part of the fabric in place while the other part is simulated. Simply Cloth Studio takes this to the next level with:
- Pin Layer: Easily create and manage multiple pin groups.
- Dynamic Pinning: Allows you to “draw” pin points directly onto the model dynamically even while the simulation is running.
- Easy Wrinkles & Folds
- The add-on provides dedicated tools to quickly create natural wrinkles. You can intuitively “pull” and “twist” the fabric to create desired folds, something that is difficult to do with the default system.
- Sculpting Integration
- Once your simulation is complete, you can easily switch to Sculpt Mode to quickly refine wrinkles, add small details, or fix clipping.
- Optimized Workflow
- Simply Cloth Studio is built on real-world experience, so it optimizes common workflows:
- Create and apply cloth with just one click.
- Easily add collision objects.
- Quickly apply effects like wind or turbulence.
- “Bake” the simulation to keyframes for easy rendering and refinement.
- Cut & Sew: Design clothing patterns from scratch or use predefined templates to quickly create custom garments.
- Advanced Pin System: Precisely control how and where your cloth interacts with other objects by pinning specific parts of the mesh.
- Collision & Self-Collision: Manage how your cloth interacts with itself and other objects to avoid penetration issues.
- Sewing System: Seamlessly sew separate cloth pieces together in Blender using edge or vertex combinations.
- Dynamic Presets: Choose from a library of preset cloth types like silk, denim, and cotton.
- Customizability: Fine-tune every aspect of your cloth simulations, from wrinkle settings to gravity effects.
- Over 200+ assets included in the asset libraries: Access a wide variety of pre-made patterns and assets to accelerate your workflow.
