Keep Shape—When on, preserves the shape of the
mesh. In normal operation, when Cloth creates a
simulation, it tries to "flatten out" the cloth.
The numeric Keep Shape value modulates the
target bend angles to a value between 0.0 a nd
the angles defined by the
target state .Anegative
value inverts the angles. Range=-100.0 to 100.0.
Default=100.0.

U Bend /V Bend —Resistance to bending. The higher

bend. A cotton fabric might bend more easily than
leather, so a value of 15.0 for both U and V Bend
might be good for cotton, while 50.0 would work
well for leather.
By default, the U Bend and V Bend parameters
are locked together so that changing one sets the
other to the same value. You c an set different
values for the two only when
Anisotropic is off.
