Zipper on Clothing

Support Modeling

Hello, I’ve made some clothing in the past for characters but never involved a zipper.

So I have made a zipper and I want to add it to a leather jacket. But I don’t know how. I’m thinking on using a curve to place the zipper where it needs to be but then it needs to follow the jacket in animation.

In fact, the jacket is suppose to have cloth simulation and while it works great on the Jacket, I’m not sure how to add the zipper in a way that it follows the jacket simulation.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

does the zip need to open while being worn?

I think you can pin the verts of the zipper teeth to the cloth sim. Theres a flag tutorial on you tube which basically what you want to do i think
