working on an image of a cross and wanted to have some material draped over it (long flowing wrap draped from one side, hanging in the front and then flipped over the other side. been ages since i used max and not having much luck in poser's cloth room. any ideas or is there a cloth out there that is poseable that i could use?

thanks for the assistance

The Poser Primitive, "Square Hi-Res", is very dense and intended for applications like that.  Try at least 30 frames and include "Ground" in the list of collision.

Ran the simulation, and this is what I came up with. The dynamic cloth settings I used should be in tact when the prop is loaded, but you may be able to adjust them to achieve a closer look to what you want.

Have you tried using the morphing tool and magnets?  You could position the hi res square around the top of the cross and then let the cloth room drop it down.  

you all are AWESOME thank you so very much. I have been away from poser for so long I forgot my little tools n toys. time to start clicking again...and maybe read the directions for a brush up too!!

This is weird. I was trying to make almost that same image. Couldn't get it done. Glad you asked. thanks

I would do this in two stages

1. cross horizontal with cloth straight across the top bit

2. run simulation until ends of cloth are down maybe 30-45 degrees

3. Rotate cross and cloth together so cross is vertical.

4. run new simulation from that point to complete the drapeing.

Very cool effect!    Gald I could be some help :o)

I messed around with the Y scale, and a lil more in the cloth room sim settings, and you can get it "thicker" with a few minor adjustments.

Main ones to adjust would be Stretch Damping, Shear Resistance, and Cloth Density. The 1st to numbers should go up(75-150), and the density should be around .0025
