Problem with cloth in syflex

[mindy]

hi every1.
i make animation with flying object /flying person/. this person has a cloth - robe.
whats my problem? when this man has the hands beside body, the sleeves vertex go through polygons /body cloth/.
i tried correct sleeves and robe with polygon sculptor tool, but the cloth was "brake", when i played the animation . how can i correct all robe? i mean "in between"- how can i correct position of sleeves and then cache it?
i hope you undestand my english
thanks

sorry for my crazy english.

isnt syflex softbodies, not cloths?
i've never tried it, but as far as I got form your post, you've penetrations where clothmesh is less dense. A thing you could do is to create larger than hero's skin collision object, so the robe will be pushed away in safe distance from skin avoiding penetration.
goodluck and excuse me if I misguided You, since i know about syflex only by rumors.

cloth is larger then body. i mean - vertex /polygons/ of the sleeves penetrate another parts of the cloth, when it moves. if I put higher value of "self envelope", it was impossible cache it. it was so slow and I do not now how can I do it handy and then cache it.

for example: you have a cloth. you will cache it, from 1 to 100 frames. cloth will not by probably correct, so you must correct it handy.you will correct cloth on (only) 100th frame /no penetrations, smooth correct cloth/. and THEN syflex will cache it once again from 1 to 100 frame /like in between animation/ correctly.
thx

Its hard to advice on specific plugin never used. sorry.
I'd rather use MayaCloth.
At least I think this have nothing to do in this section, because it uses particles. And if I am right, then increasing particle sampling rate will correct those selfpenetrations ( i hope its detection is featured in syflex ).
