I had (well I still have the CD's) Maya 6.5. The book had a chapter on how to make clothes. It was complex and didn't turn out right. Basically it was sewn up like regular clothes. I am currently using Maya 8.5. The book I have "Mastering Maya 8.5". It is a good book and goes into detail about making "existing" cloth fit, blow in the wind, twist when the figure moves, all of that. Well how do I go about making the basic cloth itself? Is there any tutorials to show me how to create the basic cloth for my nude figure.
It's much easier now.. you can basically turn any mesh into cloth.. make a mesh and select make cloth.. simple.. no more making patterns and closing seams and stuff
Are you sure it works with Maya 8.5. I just came across a tutorial "Demystifying Cloth in Maya." http://jawa9000.com/Technical/cloth/cloth.htm
It said the tutorial was for Maya 5 thru 8.5 and the instructions were for the old method.
you don't have to do any of that for nCloth .. that tutorial must have been guessing that the system would still be the same one in 8.5
Gmask, thanks for the info. However I can't seem to find the commands "Make Cloth" or "Create Cloth". Where should I look? There is nothing in the book that references either of these commands.
