QUICK STARTYour First Simulation
Build a tiny Cloth and Collider scene, set a cache directory and complete a short test Bake.
SETUPInstall Cloth NeXt and Connect PPF
Understand the extension, managed solver setup, external installations and the health check.
WORKFLOWUse the New Look Toolbar
Set the cache directory, choose quality, Bake from the viewport and use F6 to show or hide the toolbar.
MATERIALSTune Cloth Materials
Learn Surface Weight, Stretch Resistance, Bend Resistance, friction, pressure and Shrink without guesswork.
PINNINGPin Cloth to Animation
Use Blender vertex groups with Static or Follow Animation pins and understand what the solver actually receives.
CHARACTERSAnimated Colliders and Character Cages
Choose collider motion, build character proxies and keep animated topology stable during Bake.
FORCESGravity, Wind and Air
Use Force objects for directional gravity, wind and aerodynamic settings with animation support.
BAKEBake and Live View
Understand validation, solver startup, confirmed live frames, progress, Cancel and the final playback handoff.
CACHECaches, Rebake and Recovery
Know when a result is valid, what invalidates it and how Cloth NeXt protects previous caches during replacement.
TROUBLESHOOTINGTroubleshoot a Failed Bake
Read CNX errors, separate solver problems from scene problems and use diagnostics without random parameter changes.
REFERENCEChoose the Right Simulation Role
Cloth, Rod, Soft Body, Rigid Body, Collider and Force each have a different job in the same scene.
UPDATESStable, Beta and Dev Channels
Pick the right confidence level, switch channels through Blender and understand what belongs in production.
