Quote - > Quote - May I ask you one thing?I made some dynamic clothes but don't know exactly how to use the soft decorated or hard decorated groups...in which cases do you use them?for buttons?and constrained groups,do you use them to attach parts of the cloth to the figures,like belts?

And you make the groups selecting polygons?

Thanks a lot!

Soft-decorated is used for things you add to the clothing, but something that you want to fold and have movement while still keeping it's basic shape, like pockets, button plackets, belts, etc.

Rigid is used for things that you want to move with the underlying fabric, but that you want to hold it's shape, like a belt buckle, a button, etc.

Constrained is for things that you want to follow the basic way the cloth moves, but not move from it's spot. You'd use this for wide necklines that would otherwise slip off during a simulation, spaghetti straps, or anything you want to hold in place where it is.

Hope that helps.

edit: as for adding groups, I just make each thing I want to be a separate dynamic group in my modeler by making it a material. You can add them then to the simulation by chosing Add Material when you set things up for the simulation in the sim's group editor.

Thank you very very much,very helpful!
