    This is great. Is there a method to animate stiffness or bend values? Something that would go in the vellum solver I suppose. I can't grasp it.
  • @javideas
    Is it possible to make it like that but flat, to get "glue paper" effect?
  • Just discovered your channel...love what you do, excellent tutorial. Just a thought, would you please consider editing out the slurping noise when you take a sip? I do not mean to offend.

    Awesome video, but how to make crumple little sharper ?
  • nice tutorial but maybe a bit long winded in the beginning and I hope you stopped slurping coffee straight into your microphone.
