Vertex Proximity Meets Cloth Sim

Vertex proximity and cloth simulation render

An easy-to-follow approach to using vertex proximity nodes with a cloth simulation — inspired by a quick tutorial from Dobpen on YouTube.

Endless possibilities

Blender never ceases to show me new ways of doing things. I found these tutorials from Dobpen and was again amazed at what Blender can do. Great, easy-to-follow videos — the spa music in the background was a bit too relaxing, so I took a nap while they rendered. This might be one of the most overlooked tools in the toolbox.
