Theater curtains

[Ace_Face]

I have a difficult modeling problem for a theater I'm working on. I need to show a curtain in it's open position as a "Venetian Contour" or "Austrian Puff". The stage front is convex, and so too is the curtain.

I was trying to use Dynamics with soft body masses to reproduce the effect, but I wasn't getting the expected results. It doesn't need to be animated, but I thought C4D's dynamics could do most of the work for me and I could just model the curtain in the down position.

 

Any suggestions?

Hi Ace,

I've done curtains a few times simply using extrude nurbs and a few splines (2-3). Here is a sample

If you dont need to animate it, I would tackle it this way.
