Ncloth Constraint Problem

[fangjunning]

Hi, I made a pants for a character

made a poly mesh of pants-- turn the mesh into a ncloth--made the charater a passive body

when I played back, the pants fell down. it was working ok. Then I tried to constrain the top faces of the ncloth to the body, I got the problem--the pants keep falling down. I got the dynamicConstraint node but it just seems doesn't work.

I used point to surface constraint. Anybody got an idea? Thanks.

You need to select verts, not faces, for a point to surface constraint(I don't think it should have created a constraint if you selected faces). Select the the body mesh along with verts at the top of the pants cloth then create the constraint. If you had smoothed your cloth mesh, then pick points on the input mesh, not the smoothed mesh.

You should see lines between the verts and the closest point on the body. ( Perhaps your cloth was cached? If so delete the cache)

I to have been having a constraint problem with nCloth. I am trying to make a dragon wing using an nCloth as the wing membrane. I select the edge to be connected and the edge of my mesh it is going to be connected to, then I go to nConstraints/Component to Component. All of the tutorials I have seen state that this is the proper way to do it but the nCloth still falls to the floor when you hit the play button. When I try to move my rig the nCloth just stays put.

Anybody?
