Blender Cape Tutorial - Blender Cloth Physics Simulation

In this Cloth Simulation Blender 2.8 Tutorial you will learn how to add a basic cape to your 3d Character and create realistic physics for the cape. This is all done through Blender Cloth Simulation. So this is basically a Blender Cape Animation Tutorial.

This Blender 2.8 Cloth Physics Tutorial will demonstrate how to apply cloth physics to a 3D mesh, pin a 3D cloth to a vertex group, parent the cape to the 3D Character. As an optional step, we use a shrink wrap modifier to create the collar of the cape. This is an alternative to using the sewing cloth physics which can get complicated.

This Cloth Simulation Blender 2.8 Tutorial uses lower quality steps in the baking simulation. Be sure to up those values to obtain a better result. Also feel free to change other cloth values in order to get interesting results for the cape.
