The two rear corners appear
to be pinned in place, and the rest
of the cloth falls away.
The cloth plane can be made to interact with other objects in the scene. Add a UV sphere
and position it below the plane as shown in Figure 12.85. With the sphere selected, go to
the properties window - “Object Modifiers” button and add a collision modifier. Replay the
animation and you will see the cloth plane fall and drape over the sphere (Figure 12.86).
The UV sphere is
selected in the 3D view
as indicated by the
manipulation widget.
