How to do Rigid Body and Cloth simulation fast, REALLY FAST.
No Bullshit.
Transcript:
Rigid Body and Cloth Simulation in 3DS Max Fast, let's go
First, make sure you have the MassFX Toolbar & Dialog in Sight.
If you don't see it, just right click on the top toolbar and select it.
Ok ? Let's go.
Step 1:
Drag out a high segment plane and a Sphere and position them above the ground.
Make the Plane, a.k.a "cloth" slightly higher.
Step 2:
Select the ball and Assign it as a Dynamic Rigid Body.
Extra note:
You can set the ball as a Kinematic Rigid Body if you want to animate the ball manually or as a Static Rigid Body if you don't want the ball to move at all.
Select the "Cloth" and set it as a mCloth Object.
Step 3, Final Step:
Click "Start Simulation" to test the animation and "Bake All" when you want to commit the simulation to the timeline.
That's it.
Now there are a number of properties you can adjust to affect how the simulation will turn out, but you don't need someone to tell you how to play, you just needed to know how to get start :)
The rest are just fun stuff :D
OK, I'm not kidding, there are some tutorials out there that took 16 minutes to explain what I just did, seriously...stop this...it is wasting everybody's time.
Don't make a documentary out of a tutorial that took three clicks, ok ?
Thanks.
Thumbs up if you agree that every tutorial should be as straight to the point as this one.
Thank you.

Step 1:
Drag out a high segment plane.
You can also set it after you drag it out, it doesnt matter.
Anything around 300 should be fine, but it really depends on the size of your scene, just make it as dense as possible for your need.
Step 2:
Apply a noise modifier.
Check the Fractal checkbox.
Adjust the Z strength to see the waves.
Adjust the Scale so that you are generally getting big waves, not the small ones, we will handle that later.
Dont worry about matching the numbers here, it all depends on the scale of your scene, the only thing you have to focus on is to make sure you are getting the big waves.
Adjust and Set animation key frames for the phase and refine it further with the frequency, you do not need to keyframe the frequency.
You can also animate the Gizmo to give the waves a sense of direction but that is not exactly required.
Step 3:
Apply a Push Modifier and assign a negative value to it.
The value for the push modifier is up to you, just make sure that you are getting those sharp ridges you are seeing here.
You will see some polygon penetration along the sharp ridges, thats fine, apply a relax modifier and set the relax value to 1.
If the polygon penetration are still too visible, go back to the push modifier and make the value less extreme.
This is what you are suppose to be getting by now.
Step 4:
Add one last noise modifier, this is where we concentrate on the smaller waves within the big waves we have already created.
Adjust the scale and Z strength accordingly, remember, small waves.
Now Adjust and Set animation key frames for the phase and refine it further with the frequency, you do not need to keyframe the frequency.
Step 5:
Apply a normal material, it doesnt matter what renderer you use because the geometry is already convincing enough.
Make that material really shiny and apply it to the plane.
Place a directional light such that it is shining from behind, click render and enjoy your CG waters.
Hope you find this useful :)
