hi again... ...ive had P5 for a year now and just 2 days ago did i start playin with the cloth room (setup room never even been clicked on yet...no kiding)....just now did i realize how great this feature is! with the advice of some people here....i was able to clotify my first object! woohoo! and it looks damn good to me especialy for my first whack at the cloth room..... it got me thinkin (ye...sometimes i think)---> Why not use the cloth room to clotify Hair objects? get flowing hair with gravity and all that good stuff.... has anyone tried this? i dont have a good hair object to clotify so i havent tried it....besides um more interested in clothes.....applying the cloth room to get soft body parts i also know is possible... aight......i just had to share my idea......

Nice! What settings did you use? Looks like a nice silk from the way it clings and contours to the body.

biggert - there was a thread about using the cloth room for manipulating hair objects about 2 weeks ago. The general consensus (with which I concur - I tried a few experiments myself), seemed to be that hair objects (as in prop/figure type hair, not dynamic hair - don't get dynamic hair anywhere NEAR the cloth room - it'll shrink in the wash:-)) erm, what was I saying.. Oh, yes. Hair objects not good subjects for cloth room. The geometry doesn't work well there, you have to constrain bits to stop the hair sliding sideways off the head, and the results don't look good at all. Usually. Of course, you might strike lucky, and god bless yer if you do (and post what you did!) (and when you have conquered the cloth room, you can continue into the hair room. I've got the hair-room scheduled for somewhere around July/August 2005...) Cheers, Diolma

thanks.. Collision_Offset = .4 Collision_Depth = .4 Cloth_Density = .005 (or is it .05?)

It really depends on how the hair mesh is constructed. The ones I've tried it with fall apart because vertices aren't welded together in lost of places, so as a result to mesh falls apart. If you fix those problems in a modeling app, the geometry changes and you really have to start from scratch, none of the old morphs will work. If you find some hair that doesn't do that, let me know.
