Cloth Argh~!!!!

Hey all,

Is there any easy way to make a cloth like substance for a character. i am trying to make a loin cloth for a character for a project at skool. And also is there an easy way to animate it??? thanks again

No

Stefano

As Stefano pointed out, there’s no easy way for the moment. The most efficient way at the moment, though, is to use Blender Instinctive from initrr… Never tried myself, but I should within a few days/weeks.

BTW, thanks initrr for the huge development he went for bringing us these innovatives functionalities in (at least his version of) Blender.

For animating the cloth try Topix Cloth:

You will have to do some tricks as it only detects collision with spheres I think. but if you use a plane or a grid it may be a solution.

hahahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
hahahahaa! HA HA hA hA hA!!!
Topix?!
HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! :x :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

LOL :wink: You should be ashamed of such a reaction, for the sake of the good-willing coders of this plugin.

So please don’t be so harsh, lemmy… :slight_smile: I hope that Topix will refine within a few months and that it will be usable for general purpose, someday, with complex meshes and not only spheres. Until then, please comment the idea I had about what could be a good use of the Topix plugin in the actual state:

hey thanx for that

i was reading the “Read me”( which i never usually do) and it said somethign like be wary or somethign because it can corrupt work/pc or something. so i dont know if i will use it cause this is like a major project for me and one of the only ones that i have ever gotten around to half completing.

and Damn how hard are human bodys to create? i am trying to create a characture like female ninja chacter and it isn’t working that well :-? i am using a mask/ hood thing so i dont have to make a detailed head( lol slackness) any good ideas for a tut or somethign equivelent.?? thanx all

Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial that shows you how to make cloth manually (not with scripts)? Thanks.

blender is blender and it is free so dont expect solutions like in maya which are some hundret $ !!!

no i dont think topix should be trashed! its cool to have even a not so powerfull cloth solution.

claas

Hundreds? More like thousands. I think Maya Unlimited is 6,000USD right now.

I don’t know of any tutes, but I think you hit the nail on the head with the word manually; a lot of manual work. You’re best bet is probably to animate your cloth with armatures. I suppose you can use the wave effect. None of these solutions will likely yield you realistic results, so don’t go for true realism. There’s a reason that cloth simulators exist.

Maybe someday the Freecoth project can be worked into Blender.

actually, its $6,999.99

Hey people thanx for the replys…

Askesd teacher about the cloth stuff and he said that we dont have to asnoimate cloth … phew… bow just have to make the bpdy argh… oh well time to get stressed :’( oh well ty for yuour help and caio
