Hi, I'm curious.

It possible VWD do a shrink effect upon cloth to collision?

Something like, cloth is pull inside and close fitting to body.

You can use the scale parameter, There is a video tut about this by VWD (see his signature)

@akuei2 : There are two solutions to resolve your problem.

• as says Smaker1, you can use the scale parameter. I suggest you to remove the inertia to create a very soft simulation.

• you can also start a simulation using a reduced character and, perhaps, a reduced cloth. The character grows during the simulation (in 30 frames for example) until it returns to its original shape and the cloth will fit the body. You have to find the good initial shrinking for the two elements. You have to create a cloth without any rigidity and remove the gravity and the inertia from the simulation. The cloth has to be renamed if you want to reuse it in a next simulation (_VWD becomes _NEW for example).

Tell me if my explanations are not clear enough.

1. what I know, scale parameter is suitable on static simulation, and work well on something.

2. This idea, I never thought before. Here my understanding：

   eg, I make a character thin at initial ( 0 frame ), and then growing up to normal state( 30 frame ). During the time, I need disable inertia, gravity, wind and so on. Wait the body or cloth fit automatically.

Hello akeui2,

1. you can use the scale function when you want for a static or a dynamic simulation.

2. Yes, you start from a character smaller than the initial one and you define the number of frames useful for the transformation. At the end of the animation, the character must have the shape it has by default. I suggest you to make your cloth the softer as possible (0.1 for stretch and stiffness, and no other rigidification) and avoid the penetrations at the beginning of the simulation. If you try to make a "normal" simulation using these settings the cloth will behave as caoutchouc. For the simulation, you remove all the dynamic effects (Gravity, Inertia, Wind). At the end of the simulation, you can use the dynamic deformation if you want adjust the cloth. You can also make a simulation on 50 frames. You can start at 0, make the animation on 30 frames. The simulation will continue during the 20 last frames to make a better ajustement.

thank for advice. I keep trying now.

Hi,

Is it possible to scale differently in 2 directions in one iteration of simulation?

Ie if a clothing item is too long I may want to shorten 50% but width ways only 10%.

@janrendo : In the next version, the scale could be made on one direction (XZ or Y ). If you want to apply two different scale on two different direction, you will have to apply two scales on the same part of the cloth actor.

Thats great thanks :)
