Loved that one ! Would be worth uploading this to vimeo/Ice group.
Excellent reference imho :)

I'm curious how others handle layered or very high res geo clothing? I
have a pretty high res geo of layered clothing on a character. I'm getting
some decent results with just applying syflex to the geo, enabling self
collision, boosting the subframe steps, etc. and letting 'er rip but its
Use ICE to get the closest location on your low res (static, undeformed
copy) from the high res mesh and store the offset transform from that
location. Then use the reinterpret location onto the deformed low res geo.

I'm pretty sure there's either a sample scene or a tutorial floating around
online on how to deform one mesh onto another.
It's a little late in the day for me to actually work this out, but
basically, you'd have a highres mesh with an ICE tree getting position

wouldn't the stored offsets be in world space? Wouldn't you want them in
tangent space to not crumple weirdly?

Thanks for the suggestions. Eric...your idea is what I had in mind but
having a hard time figuring out the right node usage once I extract closest
point. How do I store an offset? Cage is ridiculously slow so thats out.

Well yes you're going to have to figure out the transform space when
storing in the point's local space. Though I think you could hack your way
through it by ripping apart the stick to location node.

On Fri,
Kris are you using the standard Cage deformer or the ICE based Hull
Deformer setup?

Thanks Matt...could give that a go too...although I think ICE syflex only
works on poly? Eric...good suggestion for a starting point..will try that.
I was referring to the default cage deformer...didn't think about hull
deformer. I was looking at a few images and demos on syflex's website for
We would take the high res geo, reduce it, then run a custom script that
generated nulls that were cluster constrained to the points on the geometry
and simulate it, then envelope those points onto out the high mesh. This
was one of our work arounds, depending on the shot and what was needed, but
that's why I was thinking UVs might help -- use them to interpolate the
spatial offsets?

Thanks Simon...I was using that method as well. It works fine on some
other elements but for this one particular case, it was difficult due to
the layered fabric. Will give that another go as well. Didn't think about
doing a poly reduction, keeping it live and using that as my null deformer
Anyway, past my bedtime. Kris, you're in much better hands than mine if
you listen to Eric, Matt et al. Best of luck with it.

With the right topology and density, they will.
We bound millions of points worth of creatures between dragons and dinos
that way across multiple resolutions ;)

Why are we even talking at all when Leonard pointed out there's a factory
node doing exactly what is being asked for? :p
That is not a factory node.
I have built similar systems in the past.
So it didn't take me too long to make a proper compound for this.
