We're going to try and get one out. You know how it is when you are
straight on to the next thing though.

Thanks very much guys, we're glad you like the job!
Some have been scratching their heads about how we've achieved
the extrusion effect and creation of UVs, and Manny, you've
cracked it already!
After a lot of R&D and smoking heads we've 'settled' with the
most simple technique, which seemed to work best to achieve
the effect the Director was after, and it also turned out to
be robust and fast.
For the majority of cloth elements we've used the following
workflow:
After having accurately tracked characters and the camera we've:
- drawn spline curves on a static copy of the character's mesh
to define the areas the cloth should be 'emitted' from.
- we then sampled points on these curves, reinterpreted the
locations on the animated characters, and
- for every frame of a shot added strand positions,
effectively creating strand trail point clouds for the whole
length of a shot, for every piece of garment
- the strands were then converted into splines and
- lofted. So for a lot of shots we already head the UVs for
free. For quite a few shots, because of the nature of the
dancers' movements we needed to re-do the UVs though.
So we ended up with an extruded mesh (one edge loop per frame,
or subdivided if more detail was needed) which represented the
dancer's movement in 3D space over time.
Using ICE we've triggered vertices at the right time to start
simulating (using a Verlet setup) and hid/deleted all polygons
'in front' of a dancer.
For some shots to help joining characters and garment,
additional pieces were simulated using nCloth or Marvelous
Designer.
That's it, nothing too fancy. :)
cheers,
Florian

Don't know how it was extruded, but the integration with
actors' very dynamic movements is excellent!
don't know exactly where real cloth starts or ends! :]

if they are generating the data from strands then they
know the start and end, as long as they know the vertical
start and end it wouldn't be very hard to generate the
the UVs along with the mesh.

The long extruded element may already be generated as
a whole piece,
and then is 'masked' off.
Would definitely be easier if it were patch/nurbs based.
