Blender 5.1 woman shrinking out of clothes animation , (mannequin)

I have been trying to achieve this effect for a long time and I think I might have a system that is good enough for my projects.

The settings should be shown in the recording.

Make sure to turn the quality steps up to at least ten.
In my case, the speed of the clothes was really slow, so I turned the speed multiplier up to 1.65
I turned the tension in the stiffness panel down to 2.3 and the compression to 8.4
I turned on self collisions.
In shape, I turned the Shrinking factor to 0.06

The pants kept slipping off the character, so I selected the top two rows of faces on the pants model and assigned them to a vertex group. Back in the cloth sim tab, I added that vertex group to the shrinking group box in the property weights tab and set the max shrinking to 0.387 and key framed it. Later in the animation when I needed the pants to slip off the shrinking woman’s waist, I set the max shrinking back to 0 and key framed it again.

After the simulation finished baking, I added another subdivision surface modifier and shaded the clothes as smooth.

Please keep in mind that the top and the pants are both part of the same object, this is because I wanted these garments to collide with each other during the shrinking animation.

Also it's important to remember to scale up your character a fairly large amount to reduce the buggyness of the simulation.


Some things that I hope to improve are the buggy movements of the top and pants after the women has fully shrunk down, and possibly adding multiple layers of clothing, like a bra or pair of panties under the outer clothes.

Looks really great! Blender 5.1, huh? What kind of hardware are you running it on?

Thanks for the feedback!

My system uses an I7 6700, 32gb ddr4 ram and an RTX 2060 super

excellent work, so smooth and more importantly proportional. I feel it could but a VFX effect from vanishing into clothes to a slow shrink or drop-stages in height
