How do I make a cloth cape for LEGO?

Question

I am trying to make a cloth cape for a LEGO Character, but the flow is always strange. It won't go down and won't stay still. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

ok, i made a "quick and dirty" example, how to do it.

Result:

1. add a plane on ground -> passive, collision (gray)
2. add a rigid body (active) on it (green)
3. add a plane, which does NOT collide with other meshes when you place it 3b) at lots of subdivision surface to plane, but not too much, else your computer explodes
4. add cloth modifier to plane, fix it with a vertex - pin group
5. raise qualitiy collisions to 20
6. add solidify modifier to plane with thickness -> apply
7. check object- and self collision
8. increase your outer thickness of your rigid body
9. let the other settings of cloth as they are -> little changes in the properties change a lot for the simulation
