vicki shrugs off her slinky dress and it falls to a heap at her feet (or silken puddle, working on the chapter)

i want to animate it sliding off, but then collapsing around her feet

was wondering if it's possible?


character has long hair.  would be kewl to show her hair falling when she pulls hairpin out

thanks smiley

    Although I haven't played with the soft-body yet, I think that your 'disrobing' idea would be easier than any other form of figure-related animated cloth as the beta Bullet stands right now. Here's where I would begin my thought process:

    I would start by setting the figure's collision "Off" so that the cloth cannot interact with all of those polygons.

    Then I would add a primitive spher to the scene, place it over the head of the figure and scale it to fit somewhat closely - no real need to get too close - probably better to be slightly larger.

    Parent that sphere to the head of the figure

    Duplicate the sphere and drag it (in the hierarchy of the instances tray) from the head to the neck, then move and shape it accordingly.

    Continue repeating that with the Collars, Shoulders, Forearms, Hands, Chest, Abdomen, Hip, etc.,

    After all of that I'd start working with the cloth simulation experiments

    It certainly can fall off or even drape on a still figure, its the animated posing thats the issue, obj export your outfit with morphs and skinning ticked and reimport it in posed position as an obj on the posed figure (resize in motion usually needed)

    make physics motion and softbody modifier

    then run a softbody sim

    make sure colloision distance close and prob avoid ticking self intersection if not important.

    best have In effects max friction and density no bounce on both figure model and cloth item

    dont wanna, but, think i'm gonna have to make a non-conforming, ridiculously rigged slinky dress and keyframe its flow down her body.  >.<  
    no way to know if it'll be worth the work til it's done.
    crazyee

    Create a few target helpers,. and a softbody Attach so you can control the fall of the softbody with the helpers

    VWD with Philemo's plugin includes tools to modify the drape in progress so you can pull something off (or back on) a shoulder, etc.  not perfect, but an amazing improvement.
