New To Ncloth...

[galacticmarine]

Ok, so I created a shirt mesh for my character and made it an ncloth, then set my character as passive collider. However, when I run the animation, the shirt just shrivels up and goes through the character mesh. How do I prevent this?

Ok, I did some scaling and placing of vertices and now the cloth doesn't intersect the body upon relaxing. However, when I animate the body, in this case, rotating an arm 90 degrees inward, the sleeve stretches a lot and intersects the body. The movement in the sleeve also affects the rest of the shirt, which then collapses into the body in a few places. Also, the shirt "bobs" up and down a lot, which is quite unnatural.

There are several things going on here working against you. I'm going to assume you have the scaling the way you like it. The stretching is easy to fix. Just turn up the stretch resistance, and when I say turn it I mean way up, depending on scene scale. You should take a look at your shirt and passive body collision distances. If they are very small you will need more sub-steps to get them to work properly. The sleeve affecting the whole shirt and collapsing of the cloth means that the cloth is intersecting somewhere, either the passive object or itself. On your nClothShape, turn up the Max Self Collide Iterations and turn on both Trapped Check and Self Trapped Check. This will help keep the cloth from breaking when it intersects something. You should also increase your Max Collision Iterations.
