Hi Oliver, Thanks for the answer More or less the simulation will be an approximation of what the simulation will be, so not 100% as the syflex simulation ( otherwise I'll have thousands of effectors for each poly/vertex ), but something that close
What I'm worried about ( need to test if it works ) is that once I did the simulation, and I add the nulls ( effectors ), if I paint the envelopes on the mesh I will loose the simulation on the cloth... I mean, envelopes ovverride the simulation? Or I can still apply the pointcache to the cloth even if my mesh is enveloped? 2013/10/14 olivier jeannel <[email protected]> > Hello there, > I'm not familiar with games pipes, so maybe I misunderstand your problem. > If you put chain bones you'll need to add as many bones (or effectors) as > there are points on your mesh. > Otherwhise you'll only get a rough approximation of the cloth sim.
