You can create a ruffle with various formats of 2D patterns. Here’s how you can get started:
Use Sample Files: You can start with our sample ZLS files if you need a block. Here is the link to access them: Sample ZLS Files.
Adjust Mesh Quality: Lower your mesh quality size under the simulation tab. The smaller the mesh size, the better the ruffle you will achieve. To learn more about mesh quality, please refer to this manual: Mesh Quality Manual.
Experiment with Fabric Properties: It is important to play around with fabric properties. Softer and lighter fabrics tend to ruffle more, whereas stiffer and heavier fabrics ruffle less. You can customize your own fabric properties or use our default fabric categories. For more details, check out the Fabric Property manual: Fabric Material Properties.
