Fabric looks too wrinkled - satin
I tried draping for the first time in Clo and it actually went better than expected. I mainly used steam brush for the draped pleats, however, i would like the fabric to look smoother and less...wrinkly. I have played with fabric properties and no matter what i do, it looks slightly odd. Any suggestion would be appreciated!

The particle distance determines the size of the polygon mesh of the cloth > therefore a lower value = smaller polygons and ability to fold and crease more refined.

Thank you for your reply! I have tried your suggestions, also reduced the noise and changed the maximum render time to 60 minutes, and it still looks slightly weird. The only suggestion i didn't get was the 'non linear complete', do you suggest to turn off linear workflow?


In real life it looks much smoother, not sure what I am doing wrong.

ilinca, ottoline was talking about reducing the particle distance not the noise goal in your rendering settings. This has nothing to do with rendering but with simulation. Same for Non-Linear-Complete. Do a quick search here in the manuals for simulation and you'll see what it means.

A duchess silk is never flat,it has plenty of micro frequency detail and you can do this relatively easily. Then render any colorways you want under an HDRI.

What you see is possible to get nice soft rolling creasing into the drape simulation in a few minutes when you set the particle mesh density lower (5mm) and then combine it with simple textures that scale to suit your project or desired fabric look.
Good luck - and hope this short overview helps you see your way through what you are missing.

ottoline thank you so much for the guide, I have always wondered why pro digital clothes look so much more realistic than what I was doing! I will definitely give it a try and share the results. Thanks again for pointing in the right direction
