Daily Blender Tip – Balloon objects with Cloth Pressure

The new Blender has an hugely improved Cloth functionality. One cool value to play with is “Pressure”. It allows us to create these kind of balloon-like fonts.

Can you use this method to simulate air pressure build up in an “open” object like a parachute for instance?
Hi Matthew, in that case I would use Cloth without pressure but with a Force underneath it. You can add Force with Shift+A > Force > Wind for example, and then turn the arrow up towards the parachute. Interesting question!
If not directly, you might be able to use it to inflate an invisible sphere that could drive the parachute via cloth collision.
Great idea! Thanks for that suggestion, I’ll look into it.
