[Bf-committers] Fwd: Cloth simulation for a robot

[fmart]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to make a cloth simulator for a robotic project using 
blender. The idea is to have a piece of cloth and manipulate it using 
some animated boxes as a robot end effectors. Afterwards, extract all 
the information of the cloth (vertices and faces)

The main problem I come across is once the piece of cloth and a box 
collide, to modify the state of the cloth, some parts of the cloth get 
inside the box. This is a problem because it gives the impression that 
the cloth sticks the end effector.

I've tried to tune all the cloth modifier parameters and also the 
collision modifier parameters of the box (of course, stickiness = 0). 
Besides, I've thought fill the box to make a solid object, but I think 
this is not possible in blender.

Does anyone know why cloth can get inside objects when colliding? Or if 
there is another way to manipulate cloth in blender?

Thank you for your time
