Hello!–im trying to get a piece of cloth to interact with a fluid sim. I think I am supposed to use the fluidforce dop for this. Im using the examples in help as reference. The examples however are only for wire set ups not cloth–though they say for cloth as well. When I try and use the setups (with the needed tweaks for cloth) there is no real interactivity. If I reorder them and put the cloth first the fluid recognizes the cloth as a collision object, but doesnt affect it. The other way around I get nothing. As far as I can tell from the wire setups, the fluid needs to be sourced first anyway. Im trying some alternative approaches with sop solvers and not–but the results are pretty awful lol. Currently im trying to bring the cloth into a sop solver —convert it to a collision sdf and then feed that back into the fluid solver– but I dont know this would serve to make the fluid interact with the cloth.

Any suggestions?



Thanks!
