Getting Started 🎯

In this section, I'll guide you through the initial steps to get started with JiggleGen. Before you dive into the specifics, make sure you meet the system requirements and have everything in place.

System Requirements

As long as your system can run Blender, you can use JiggleGen on supported versions. JiggleGen relies on cloth modifiers with very low calculation quality. These modifiers behave like any other simulation modifier, which means computation power is the only real limit. Keep in mind that the generated geometry can become demanding for your system, especially when increasing this factor.

Supported Blender Version

Tested with Blender 3.0 to 4.5 on Windows 11. It should also work for macOS and Linux, presets may be saved in a different location.

Installation and Setup

1. Download the JiggleGen add-on as a .zip file from Gumroad. Do not unzip the file.
2. Open Blender.
3. In the top-left corner, go to Edit → Preferences.
4. In the Preferences window, select the Add-ons tab.
5. In the top-right corner, open the dropdown menu and choose Install from Disk….
6. Navigate to the downloaded .zip file and select it.
7. Confirm installation.
8. Once installed, activate the add-on by ticking the checkbox next to its name.

You can find JiggleGen in the N-Panel by pressing "N" in the viewport.

Presets

JiggleGen can save and load cloth simulation presets within Blender’s native directory:

C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\Blender Foundation\\Blender\\<version>\\scripts\\presets\\cloth

Inside the downloaded .zip file und 'presets', you will find a collection of ready-made presets. To use them:

1. Extract only the presets from the .zip file (.py).
2. Place them into the folder shown above.
3. Go to JiggleGen (N-Panel) and press the refresh icon under 'Presets'

The presets will then be available for selection in Blender’s cloth settings.

That concludes the "Getting Started" section. As you continue through this documentation, you'll find more in-depth information on various aspects, including configuration, usage, and troubleshooting. If you feel something is missing, please use the contact form to leave a message.
