Working to solve my pillow conforming issues

Currently working on this project to solve this pillow issue.

This is a documentary of me trying to solve this issue. Not sure how fast its gonna be solved.

Both Top and Bottom Pillow are having the same properties
-Subdiv modifier
-Cloth physics applied to them.

I have assigned pinned vertices to this 2 pillows. As you can see above.

My goal here is to achieve this pressed on effect like this picture but with 2 pillows in contact with each other.

Method 1: Sculpting

Before sculpting, I have to ensure that all subdiv and cloth modifiers are applied. As you can see above, it’s not looking that good.


Looks solid to me.

Was curious about the sculpting, so I lift the top pillow slightly above.

Boom, it acknowledges the top faces of the bottom pillow.
Maybe I am wrong on these since I am only using draw, inflate and grab brushes.

Just an idea, but you could just use the physics as you’ve done so far.
You could make a sphere (or some mesh that could deform it) and add a collider to it.
You could make it go with the pillows and see if they deform.
If this is for a render, you can simply hide the sphere or bake the rigidbody world… or simply apply the cloth modifier.
Idk there’s a bajilllion ways to go about it ;-;

yeap working on it. Right now

Method 2: Lattice + Shrinkwrap modifier

Above I was experimenting with 2 ways of working on Lattice workflow (1 is from youtube and the right one is my trial and error idea)

So I am by no means a good blender candidate but would sculpting with inflate/deflate help?

yeap it could help tbh.

This is something that I have been working for quite time.

It looked a bit too unrealistic. But its alright. Just keep pumping more volume into this kind of model. One day I’ll reach that victory royale.

I think it looks great!

unfortunately, I still have yet to uncover the solution towards the conforming issues. All I did was try my best to place the pillow just above another without using snapping tool.

Could have sculpt it to add some crease.

Its pretty good , only issue I noticed it the middle cushion thing has no curve to the surface like the pic you showed, also I guess that whole middle section is very sharp but it would be more like the end pieces
