ncloth clothes!

rigth like i mentioned before we are planning on using ncloth on our characters.

i have only ever used ncloth for small tests in the past just to get a brief idea of how it works.
so i found a good tutorial. it comes with the autodesk package. you can find it in the help/tutorial section. then they supply the scene files so you have everything they have so you follow the tutorial exactly.

with the dress they give you, you have to line it up with the body. then connect the dress vertexes to the shoulders of the character. make the dress ncloth and make the character model a passive collider so that the cloth reacts to the characters movements.

here are the two videos i got at the end of my experiments.



and now for te walking one.



this worked pretty well as you can see. i plan on implementing these same techniques when it comes to working on the characters on our film.

i now just need to wait for Carlos to finish the models and get the clothes themselves modelled.

next i plan on using matchmover to practice some tracking. i have never used match mover before but hopefully it shouldnt be much different to after effects, or atleast the techniques you need to use.
