Now, play around with the Strength until you get your desired look. Set one instance to a larger Scale, and decrease the second xpTurbulence instance. If you want your cloth to move much more, you can simply duplicate the xpTurbulence. Adjust the Strength of the turbulence to get more or less movement. If you press play now, you’ll see the cloth start to wave around. So, let’s go back to the X-Particles menu and navigate down to Modifiers then Motion and select xpTurbulence. If you press play, you’ll notice the cloth just sit there without any type of movement. First, let’s turn off our collision object and gravity. Now, if you want the cloth to act more natural, as if it were blowing around in the wind, we can make that happen with a few tweaks. To see the cloth object without those dots in your viewport, you can turn of the xpEmitter. This is a material I made using Topcoat, but you can use any material you’d like. So it’s easier to see, I’m going to add a material to my cloth.

Select your cloth object and drop it into a Subdivision Surface. If you need more geometry for your cloth objects, here’s a simple workaround. You can adjust the bounce and friction settings to your preference for your project. Now if you hit play, you’ll see the cloth naturally bounce around the collider object. With the object selected, head over to the Tags menu and add the X-Particles tag xpCollider. I’m going to grab a sphere, and then just move it down. You object will now include cloth properties like gravity.

Hover over xpClothFX and click on Create Cloth. Select your object, then open the X-Particles dropdown menu and navigate to Dynamic objects. (Note: I’m using X-Particles 4.0 for this tutorial.) I’m going to use a basic plane for this example. First, grab the object you want to turn into cloth.
