This week, I’m getting all the things that need dynamic simulation out.

I spent the better part of a day just figuring out the simulation for a hospital blanket that i’m happy with. This is the end result

It helped having first hand experience of the weight and texture of the blankets, so knowing precisely what I was aiming for helped. That Read more →
