clustered vellum cloth?

[eat ramen]

Hi all, 

I want to set up two sets of stitch constraints. The constraint inside the same cluster(same color) has a stronger constraint; the constraint between two clusters has a weaker constraint. So the pieces with the same color will stick together. Does anyone have any idea?

Also, how do you avoid the visible crease after fracturing the pieces?  Thanks!

surely you would just use edgefracture, weld/stitch where the cuts are...make them breakable...bob's your uncle

Keep it simple.

Hi Noobini,

Edgefracture cuts the cloth quite uniformly. How do you make the size vary? Or how do you make the edge jaggy and more organic?

I think you can draw some curves on the sphere itself (art direct)...there's an example file that even has air expulsion to propel the popping balloon but that is getting a bit away from me saying to keep it simple...

anyway, might as well check out this tute, there's a file called balloon_pop which is what you're doing.

Thank you Noobini. 

Art direct is doable but I had a bigger scene that needs much more pieces and resolution. I've opened up the ballon example from which I learned something new. Thank you for pointing out good resource! I'll take a look at other the example tmr and see what I could do about it.
