scaling cloth

Maya
1

when i import cloth garments into a scene the cloth is too small for the collision object. i have scaled the garment by itself and fitted it to the object, but when it simulates the computer almost freezes up and the cloth object seems to just go through the collision object.

do i need to scale the scene down to fit the cloth or is there a way to scale the garment?

Let's see if I remember this.

Turn off the simulation. Delete the cache. Scale your cloth. Set the U and V scale to the same amount you are scaling the cloth, and also set the solver scale to reflect how much you are scaling your cloth.

I find that it's easier to scale your collision object instead.
