Hey everyone, I'm trying to get a blanket or towel to fall on top of a small ball on the floor. By the end of the animation, there should be a towel on the floor with a lump in the middle. I'm trying to do this with Cloth Dynamics and Collision dynamics. I set the floor and the ball to have Collision dynamics and I set the blanket with a cloth dynamics. For some reason, I can't get the blanket to react to the ball, but it hits the floor with no problem.

I used softbody dynamics with other programs, with softbody, these problems occured if there werent enough vertexes on the object in question. I'm not sure if it is the same with this but give it a try, subdivide the ball a little.

Actually, that did the trick, it was falling thru before, but after I upped the Subdivision level, it works great now. Although calculating the physics takes more time now, it at least gave the results I was looking for. Thanks for the tip.
