Maya poly cloth object

[richard-schmidbauer]

I might be misinformed, but I thought I've heard that it's possible to make a polygon object a cloth object instead of doing all the seaming process. Is this true, and if so, how do I do it or is it just a matter of using springs to sumilate cloth?

Hi.
You can make cloth objects from any nurbs or polygon meshes.
Nurbs will be converted to poly.

Cloth > Create Cloth Object

But I think it's easier to make the UV map from the panel.
Later you can delete history, and make it a cloth object again.
