Hey 3d artisans, I need to find a tutorial on how to make a velvet stage curtain that opens by a pull horizontially half way down the middle of each curtain draping them back and open. I have been searching for hours and for some reason (probably because I suck at searching for things on the web) I haven't been able to find one. I would appreciate a clue and now I'm back off to my search.

How do you need this FX? 2D in front of your action? 3D is an exisiting scene? Which platform are you using? Best, JG

Hey thanks for replying to my request. I'm making the stage curtain in cinema 4d as a 3d animation to be transferd to Adobe After effects as an animated mask to unvail the things behind the curtain. I just started using Cinema 4d and I already have the curtain made. I used a plane and manipulated the points in rows of one vertically and horisontally in the plain to have that curtain/billow effect. It looks really ok but I want to figure out how to get the animated effect of it being drawn back, not just opened, but being pulled by tiebacks from the verticle center of each curtain. I'm guessing some parenting is in order but I am not profficient enough in Cinema 4d to accomplish that,....yet

Sorry, I am also not that good. Post a request to the C4D Forum with a screen capture. That should do it. JG
