Take a look at my attempt to use cloth as glass. I think it looks pretty good.

I was unable to get the cloth to be recognised as a collision any ideas?

Unable to make the glass act as brittle as I had hoped. Please help with any adjustments to the parameters.

if you mean for the collision to represent the tearing properly i have found that the cloths depth setting must be just under half the size (or less) than the objects you expect to rip through it.

Ink all over the screen...and dang it! Signature still does not show.

Try setting the value for this:

+ Code Snippet

phy set cloth dimensions 3, 5, 8, 0.25

to this:

+ Code Snippet

phy set cloth dimensions 3, 5, 8, 0.24

It seems to react more like glass with that little change. I tried setting it lower than 0.24 but the cloth just falls to pieces straight away.

The change you proposed causes the glass to break on my machine. I was hoping for more help with the stretch and bending parameters.
I tried to use the program to try a large subset of variables but I was unable to delete and reset the cloth using the following function

+ Code Snippet

function MakePane(Pane,Frame)

      ` create the cloth

      if object exist(Pane)
               PHY DETACH CLOTH FROM SHAPE Pane,Frame
               PHY DELETE RIGID BODY pane
               delete object pane
      endif

      phy make cloth Pane
      phy set cloth dimensions Pane, 5, 8, 0.25
      phy set cloth position Pane, 2.5, 10, 0
      phy set cloth rotation Pane, 90, 0, 180
      phy set cloth friction Pane, 0.6

      phy set cloth tearing Pane, 1
      phy set cloth tear factor Pane, 1.1
      phy set cloth damping Pane,0.01
      phy set cloth bending stiffness Pane,0.95

      phy set cloth stretching stiffness Pane,.95
      phy set cloth gravity Pane,9.8
      phy build cloth Pane
      phy attach cloth to shape Pane, Frame, 0
      color object Pane,rgb(100,100,255)
      ghost object on Pane
endfunction

i kept receieving an error message
