Hi!! I new in using maya, and I want to know how to use maya cloth to make the collar of coat?? I try to set its properties.........but it cant work..........it is possible to make it with maya cloth?? Please help!!!

You should create panels for the collar and seam them to the coat (if the coat is a garment) if the coat is just a mesh create the collar with panels then make it a garment then use a constraint to attach the collar to the coat.

I have try it before(as the coat is a garment).......but the collar become a part of the coat after simulation........as I want to make a long coat.......I need the big collar....., could u mention what constraint to use??

if you seam the collar to the coat (the main garment) the collar will become part of the coat (this is what you want) now if you want to give the collar different attributes than the coat has, select the panels that make up the collar, create a cloth property, then by changing that attributes you can make the collar react differently (stiffness, flexibility etc.), assigning different cloth properties to different panels will give you good control of the garment. making a good garment is very careful planning, believe me I've messed up the garment close to the end and had to start over. if this doesn't answer your question than maybe I don't understand your question

hope this helps

It is actually Japanese 3rd party software for making cloth patterns for maya, but you might get a hint from image 5 and 7 - to show you how to arrange your collar panels... You just need seams, not a constrain i think - and pay close attention to scale and thickness attributes to prevent the collar passing into the coat.

Hope it helps!

Hi, I've started to make a collar with maya cloth here. I followed the pattern of a real collar. I've got it to bend successfully. But I'm not sure how to wrap it around the neck. I've tried using drag modifiers which kinda work, but tend to make the collar pop back up. Maybe I need to change what vertices are bound to the drag shuttles?

Anyway, it's not quite working. I'd appreciate any advice on getting this to work (other than, "what i would do is I would actually model the collar." Cause that's not the point. The point is to learn how to do more complicated things with maya cloth besides a t-shirt and a table cloth). All the tutorial links i have found for doing a collar are no longer available.

So, any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks.

hi,

try to make the pattern for the collar be a part of the jacket pattern not so isolated. you may divide the collar into three pieces. the middle one for the back side and both outer pieces for the right an left front pattern. take the end spline of the jacket for the start spline of your collar. the pattern from the collar should not be continued upstream. it should be continued away from the neck, so the gravity do the rest.
i hope you understand what i mean. if not do another post and i prepare a scene where you can show how it works.

Hi - do not try to simulate the collar within cloth. Make a "stub" of a collar to which you should use to attach a static piece of geo that is wrap deformed to the original cloth garment. This is also the recommended method for attaching things like buttons, pockets, cuffs, belts, etc. Believe me, i've tried it all.

have a nice day
