Recently we have started to work with creating simulations in 3ds Max, and so far it has been quite a volatile experience. I've only made it to the flag so far, but I haven't finished it because sometimes my simulation will work and other times it will cause my flag to explode, with no changes to the simulation. The most difficult part of making simulations has been attempting to keep my flag wave in the wind, it either falls straight down or goes directly backwards when the simulation starts before it actually waves in the wind. I was looking forward to enjoying watching a nation's flag wave in the wind, but even when I get my flag to work I can't see the material I applied to the flag unless the render preview is open. Another part I've been struggling with is the tablecloth, it seems the table always tears the cloth no matter how smooth I make it or how many times I chamfer it. I've tried a variety of materials for the cloth going over the table and a variety of different table shapes, but nothing has worked. So far I do not enjoy working with simulations because just about everything goes wrong and does not work on the first try, unlike everything else I've done in 3ds Max. I've reviewed the tutorial given with the assignment several times and attempted to research online how not to tear a cloth when it lands on a box, but only tutorials for how to tear something pop up. Hopefully I figure out how to fix my tablecloth and make my flags work soon, but as of right now it has been quite annoying to work with simulations.
