14 Mar 2007I'm still running Maya 7.0 I'm afraid, from what I've seen of it, it looks friggin' awsome!

17 Mar 2007Ok, i finally got up to the point where im making clothing, and I know the basics of the basics of using ncloth. I first started out following a tutorial on making cloth using the old system, but it turned out that it didn't work the same way with ncloth, so I ditched that. Instead of starting with the characters coat, i'm starting with the leather skirt. What i'm having trouble with now is keeping it up.

22 Mar 2007new problem: Im trying to put an ncloth jacket on top of an ncloth shirt, but when I play the animation they kind of combine themselves together to make this weird mutation of a shirt and a jacket. Are there any attributes I can edit to seperate the distances between the two ncloth objects so that they lay on top of eachother and don't go through eachother?

22 Mar 2007my guess is that you should do them on separate layers man, rather than attempting to have them fully interact with each other. Or you could just turn up the repulsion or thickness of each one.

22 Mar 2007They are on seperate layers. I made a temporary fix for it, by just make the coat a bit bigger where it was sticking to the shirt, though it's supposed to be kinda tight around the character and not so loose. Making the thickness higher caused the coat to blow up, so i'll try playing with repulsion.
here's the results with just making the coat wider. Im going for a more form fitting look though on the area around the armpit and upper back, and then it will hang loosely near the bottom.

I also have some seams which i modelled in. (you can see one on the back view on the bottom part of the coat) that kind of loose their form when I play the cloth animation. Is there a way I can make them keep form?
