Quote - Hi Again. Can anyone tell me how you decide what items on a dynamic cloth you contrain,soft decorate or rigid I have a choice of fabric,border or mat! Cheers

You might find it helps to go into the material room and temporarily give these material zones contrasting primary colours, so you can see where they are. It helps a lot if the clothing has zones which happen to coincide with the parts you want to assign to constrained, soft or rigid decorated.

Things like buttons, rivets or belt buckles would usually go in rigid decorated; pockets, collars and seams are often best in soft decorated; however you may have to experiment with an individual item to get the best results.

Purely a personal preference, but I try to avoid having any constrained vertices, since the results never look right to my eyes. The constrained section appears to 'drag' as if it was stuck down with double-sided tape or something. If it's going to be covered by something else, then no problem; otherwise I try to fiddle the simulation so constraining is not needed. Unfortunately there's no hard and fast way to success; but experience will teach you what works the more you delve into the cloth room. Until then, there's always post work. ;)
