i’ve found this:
http://www-ui.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~takeo/research/cloth/index.html
It’s written in java, but i wonder if it wouldn’t help with topixcloth somehow… :-?
Thanks for pointing the link out. I’d seen it before long ago before I was working on this. It had faded into the abyss.
Well, it won’t be me applying it to topix, :), but I’d be willing to give advice to anyone who wants to try it. One thing that really hurts the topix cloth when it comes to expanding its functionality is the requirement of the Grid Mesh. I won’t put the work into topix to remove this, but have plans on my replacement cloth simulator for it.
I have filed away the page for reference when it comes to implementing something like this in the new cloth simulator. All ideas along these lines are welcomed as dressing characters or applying the cloth to other objects is something that’s more or less a blank slate right now for me.
I hope to be back to work on my new cloth stuff in another week or two. Sorry for the delays if anyone is waiting on the new version. This consulting contract I’ve got now has grown beyond anything I could imagine when I took it on. Its interesting work and good money, but has taken a lot of time for a much longer period of time than was originally planned. I really liked it better when I was semi-retired and had more time to play with blender and other things, :).
