Hi,
It is simple, ncloth work more like syflex in that way you model anything want and convert it into a cloth.
I am not a power user of the old cloth but it was complicate to creat a complex cloth because you had to do it like a real one. Like if you had to cut your peace of coth.
And the using was a complex.
Now ncloth have a really simple way to work. you create a nucelus world who contain the wind and the forces.
nclothe is better and simpler than syflex and the old cloth.
So don't make up your mind ![]()
And now the old maya cloth don't exist anymore, you cannot use it. It just keep the compatibility to read old scripts. But you can have if you really need, i don't know how it work or cost, you have to contact autodesk.
But ncloth is better ![]()
take a look on this little animation i did with a flag tearing. no way to do that so easely before ncloth :
