Hello, I'm at a bit of a loss here. I'm new to P5 and trying to learn the cloth room. I have seen many helpfull "how to" threads here in the forum which I intend to read--in time. But I would like to know what the purpose of the cloth room is, which CL seems to come short on explaining? Is it only used for simulating the MOVEMENT of cloth? If so, then this room would only be needed if creating figure movement as one would need if creating a movie.
Or can it be used like the Material room; to apply clothing to a figure as one would simulate--say, the look of Spandex on a figure by just changing the material of the skin and applying the spandex morphs? What is the purpose of "frames" if not for creating movement or can it be used for static work too? The manual seems to elude to it's purpose but comes up short. I get the impression that one could create clothing almost like it is a modeling program. There--I think I've asked all the questions!
Thanks in advance, Larry
