    Hi! I’m new to cinema 4D and I want to make a basketball jersey spinning for work with a cloth simulation.

    For some reason, when I try to rotate it with the simulation, it doesn’t follow the rotation I animated before and instead just sits and ripples a lot.

    How can I get it to follow the rotation animation and what settings would be best to simulate a jersey material?

    Thank you so much in advance!!

      Hi ground-water,

      Here is an example of direct driving connections. The finer the mesh, the more "soft" it will behave.

        @Dr-Sassi thank you for the quick reply!
        Sorry it took me a while to test, a lot of stuff came up in my personal life.

        I tried copying your forces but the cloth seems to just stretch and fall off.
        Is it the gravity in the scene? What am I missing?
        Here is the file

        Sorry for the google link - it was too big to upload

          Hi ground-water,

          Thanks for the file and the Google Cloud use; this is perfect.

          Here is a little suggestion.

          This file needs to be in your Project folder, unzipped.

          The shirt was built with volume, which doesn't help, so I made a copy and took the inside out. The Cloth Surface will replace the thickness.
          The mesh was rather dense, so I Remeshed it. Hence, the texture is off, but let us focus on the motion first. This is art direction, and I have no idea how you would like to have it.
          The Puppet is a bad Collider, hence I smoothed it with the Volume workflow. Otherwise, the two shoulder "balls" shape the shirt. (or was that intentional?)

          I have decreased the Gravity and the Mass of the shirt. With a Mass of 1, that shirt would be 1kg per 1000cc and normal Gravity. With the modeled initial double-sided. The typical air in the fabric is not acknowledged, etc.

          Cache it first.

          Let me know what you think about it.

          Enjoy your weekend.
