THREE FORCES Stretch, Shear, Bend
FORCE MODEL TAB IN A CLOTH OBJECT
think of
Cloth pieces stretching
cloth pieces shearing
Cloth pieces bending

The Amount of damping
higher damping less vibration

the amount of strength
higher more resistant to stetch, shear or bend


$SF simulation frames


On a cloth stitch constraint, Anchors Tab
Change Goal Anchor to "Points on Same Cloth Object Geometry"
Specify two Groups, cloth point group, and goal point group
then in relationship tab, change type to two state contraint


Two State Max Force, once becomes hard contraint, threshold for keeping it that type,
higher number helps keep it the type that it becomes.


CLOTH OBJECT
it can inherit attributes for its behavior in dops from sops
check out the attributes
hdox://houdini/content/helpcards/dop/clothobject.xml

you can create repeating creation of dopjects
by putting this in a creation frame:
if($F%50==1, $F, 0)

Density is important when you want to have objects bouncing or interacting with cloth

CLOTH STITCH CONTSTRAINT/CLOTH CONTRAINT
using two state containt
initial being spring
set spring strength to zero and state max force to 300000
then drop an rbd ball onto it, it should break and fall nicely
