Any feature to add some cloth' thickness?

[carbone]

In Maya Cloth, when close up , the cloth look too thin... Any feature to add some cloth' thickness easily???

[mestela]

Easily? Man, you've confused maya cloth with some other module...

You can try wrapping a thick edge to the cloth, but usual disclaimers about wraps apply. You could also try using one of several melscripts around to convert the cloth edge to a curve, then loft something down it.

Well thanx. As I guess, No miracle in CG!

from maya help file, you can download bonus tools from A|W website. within the bonus tools, there is a tool named "thicken cloth". it appears when you select "cloth".

but i have not tried yet

[polyoptics]

cloth are polys to, so you could extrude faces

Add another set of pannels at the edge where you want to see a thick edge it doesn't have to be big but it should be inside the pannels you already have ie you are looping the clothback in at the end and it will gain thickness. Does that make sense?

Hi,
The previous post was correct in suggesting the bonus tool that is available. The documentation reads as follows below.
Best,

Thicken Cloth
This command gives a cloth mesh thickness. The selected mesh is extruded and then smoothed. Two attributes are added to the clothShape node:
Thickness: this controls how thick the cloth is
Thickness State: the thickness can be turned off to improve the speed of simulation and playback.
Note: Since the cloth mesh is smoothed, the cloth can generally be created and simulated at a lower resolution.
?To use, select a cloth mesh and Bonus Game->Thicken Cloth.
