been awhile, anywho.
i've got a skirt and clothide aint doin it the way i want, isn't there a way to attach joints to the skirt, paint the joints, and use some constraints and a spring constraint to controll it all?
fyi still using c4d 9.1 and CD joints/skin/constraints/morph R1ish

with cloth sometimes you have to cheat, making part of the cloth as joint deformed mesh and the other part (usually the parts that you want to look more dynamic) are connected via belt to the first.
Hope this makes sense. George. #3

Howdy,
Can you show a screen shot of the skirt mesh? Adios, Cactus Dan #4

@DyserG . i did use clothide to get the shape i wanted, but once i relaxed it it keep getting caught in the geometry even though i had collider tags. so i stopped.
here's a screenshot and the skirt! thanks Attached ThumbnailsAttached Files

Howdy,
For something like this, if you're going to rig it with joints and spring constraints, I'd certainly suggest that you have a blend between manual control and spring control so that you can adjust it whenever needed during animation. The CD Spring Constraint has that built into it with the Strength slider. When the strength slider is at 0% it acts like a PSR constraint. So, you can create a dynamics slider on your controllers and wire that up to the Strength slider on the CD Spring Constraint. You could possibly also parent some Null objects into the leg joints' hierarchies to be used as collision planes using CD Clamp Constraints for the CD Spring Constraints collision response. It might be a tricky setup, though. Adios, Cactus Dan #6

didn't you have a video showing this same idea, or one with an overview of the constaints? would point clusters work better? argh so many ideas in me head!!

Howdy,
I have a tutorial on using the CD Spring Constraint with a CD Spline IK on youtube: Adios, Cactus Dan 1 user(s) are reading this topic0 members, 1 guests, 0 anonymous users |
