cloth simulation streches to infynity

[struggle-following]

Im trying to do a cloth simulation of a cape but when I render it, the Cape stretches to infynity, Can someone can tell me what Im doing wrong?

Hi struggle-following,

Please open another post to get access to the Q&A forum. Thanks you.
This forum here is not supposed to be a Q&A backdoor.

I'm not familiar with the URL you have provided. I'm super careful with URLs, and just clicking on them is not an option.

Sorry, but I try to keep it safe for everyone. If that was a project file, please attach it directly (as ".c4d" and below 1MB) or use Dropbox, Google, Adobe, Apple, or Wetransfer as a cloud server. Thank you.

If it was an image, please share the project file instead. Images typically do not tell a lot. (Parameters, project settings, etc, all of that is not in an image.)

I'm happy to look into the file.

All the best

Thanks for the file, struggle-following!

The mesh was super dense, and the typical rule of thumb is that the smaller the polygons, the less stiff things are.
The cape was also double-surface, which is unnecessary, as the Cloth Object can add thickness.

To demo the mesh density, I used the Remesh with 1% and created a low-res mesh. I left anything else as it was. Have a look: (I checked it in R25 and in 2024. Those are two different "engines", both versions are below)

You can dial in more density with the Cloth Object, which is added after the Simulation, and it works so much faster.

Cheers
