Introduction1:24
This is the introduction of the Blender 3D Cloth Simulation Guide! I describe what this course is about and the different sections.
Downloading Blender0:41
You need to download blender before you use it right? Well in this video I show you how!
Blender Basics16:21
In this video I show you the very basics of Blender and what you need to know about when starting this course.
Saving Your Blender File1:24
In this video we take a look at how to save your Blender file in 2.8!
What is the Cloth Simulation?1:45
In this video I describe what the cloth simulation is and what it does in Blender!
How the Simulation Works3:52
In this video I describe what it takes to create a cloth simulation in Blender and how it works!

Cloth Simulation Properties4:46
In this video we jump into Blender 2.8 and start learning about the cloth simulation properties and how they effect the simulation.
Stiffness & Damping5:15
Stiffness and damping effect how the cloth acts and in this video we explore that.
Baking Cache3:13
The baking cache is great. It allows you to close Blender and open it back up and still have your simulation ready to go!
Cloth Shape10:21
Cloth shape allows you to pin vertices in place or create sewing. In this video we take a look at the cloth sewing springs and I show you how it works in Blender!
Cloth Collision4:06
In this video we learn about the cloth collision settings and how they work in the cloth simulation in Blender!
Cloth Property Weights3:00
In this video we talk about the property weights and how it works with the weight paint in Blender!
Field Weights2:10
In this video we take a look at the cloth field weights and I demonstrate how it works in Blender!
Cloth Simulation Settings
Create your own Simulation!

Collision Objects4:44
In this video we talk about the collision objects and what the settings do in our cloth simulation. And how they effect the simulation in Blender!
Interacting 2 Cloth Simulations2:56
In this video I will show you how to interact one cloth simulation with another in Blender.
Springs & Pressure (Blender 2.82)5:17
In this video we jump into Blender 2.82 and learn about internal springs and pressure. Both of these settings allow you to create some really cool simulations.

Downloads and Links0:32
Here is the links and downloads for this section!
Setting Up the Simulation6:14
In this video we import the couch model and learn how to simulate a blanket falling down in Blender!
Cloth Material3:23
In this video we create the material for our cloth/blanket in Blender. We also add a texture to it to give it some color.
Lighting & Rendering3:53
In this video we finish up the lighting and final tweaking. Then we render out an image.
Importing Into Different Scenes3:46
In this video we learn how to denoise our image with the new node called Denoiser in Blender 2.81. We also take a look at importing our couch and blanket into another scene.
Post your Render!

Simulation & Animation8:09
In this video we once again jump into Blender 2.82 and learn how to create a simulation of a balloon inflating.
Baking & Materials4:47
We still have some work to do with our simulation so we finish out that and then we create the materials.
Visibility Animation & Rendering3:47
Finally we animate the visibility of the spheres and we render it out using Eevee in Blender 2.82!
Post Your Render/Animation

Requirements

You should be able to use a PC at a beginner level
It is recommended that you have some prior experience with Blender
A full keyboard and 3 button mouse is highly recommended

Description

Hello everyone and welcome to the Cloth Simulation Guide in Blender 3D! In this course you will learn all about the cloth simulation and how it works in Blender. Simulations are very confusing and sometimes hard to understand so I created this course so that you will know exactly how to use the cloth simulation and what the functions are.

In the first couple sections we will be going through how the simulation works and what the settings do. After that I will be showing you how you can have multiple cloth objects interact with each other, how collision objects work and more. We will also jump into Blender version 2.82 and learning about a new feature called Internal Springs and Pressure.

Finally the last 2 sections will be complete tutorials. The first one being a blanket falling on a couch. In this section we will be importing a couch model that I am giving away in this course. From there we will simulate it, add textures and render it out!

The second tutorial will be a balloon exploding simulation. We will be using the new feature in Blender 2.82 called pressure and learning how to animate it.

If you want to learn about the cloth simulation or want to improve your Blender skills this course is for you! So hit that enroll button and lets get started!

The program that is used in this course is Blender 3D.

Blender 3D is a free open source program that allows you to create literally anything on the computer!

You can download by going to their website.

I can't wait to see the renders and animations you create!

Thanks
