Ok, So I've been playing with cloth today and I've been stuck all day trying to figure an issue out. So I originally create a plane, a tube and a sphere. I make the plane a static object and and the sphere and the tube an RBD Object. The tube is one a pin constraint so once it swings down it hits the sphere and the sphere hits the ramp.

The issue comes in when I turn the sphere into a dentable object. in my dop network under clothsolver I get an error saying “Error cannot solve: Static/RBD Objects have bad or non-polygonal geometry”. The sphere is already a polygon…. so I don't know what's going on. Can anyone lend me a hand?

The file you posted isn't in any error state, so I'll have to surmise what you're doing on your end. The sphere in that hip is in fact a primitive sphere, not poly, so alter that in the sphere SOP before making a dentable object. Also, I assume you know you can't directly convert an RBD object to a cloth/dentable? You can use the Remove From Simulation shelf tool first, change the Sphere SOP to poly, and then create a dentable and it should work.

Cheers,

J.C.

Hey, JColdrick! Thank you for the prompt response. I apologize…. I uploaded the wrong scene file. I am aware that you can't directly convert an RBD object to a cloth/dentable. I've uploaded the new scene file.

your tube is a primitive
like the error says Static/RBD Objects have bad or non-polygonal geometry
so it refers to tube RBD object

Hey, tamte! Yeah, I for some reason wasn't paying attention to that. For some reason I was thinking it was the sphere and not the tube. So what I ended up doing earlier today was converting the tube to a polygon and making some other minor changes.

Anyways, I started with a new scene file and everything worked out fine. Attached is the new scene if anyone cares. Thank you all for being patient and helping out.
