Cinema 4D S26 introduced a unified simulation framework for Cloth and Splines and has already changed the game for fabric simulation. The solver is much faster, easier to use, and capable of producing incredible results.
With the new Unified Simulation System, you can achieve more realistic-looking simulations that incorporate multiple objects with different simulation characteristics such as fabric, string, and soft bodies.
Cinema 4D S26’s simulation system allows you to calculate simulations on the CPU or GPU and is highly multi-threaded, offering improved performance on complex fabric simulations.
