The Maya nCloth test

Maya nCloth can create fabric dynamics. But it has much character that need understanding and adjusting, thus we can find appropriate effects. In this experimentation, I just try to adjust two characters that can produce various transformation of fabric. I have recorded to adjust “Stretch Resistance and Compression Resistance ” of value. I use one fabric to observe their transformation of different value.

1.  First, to use Maya basic value of beginning

    Stretch Resistance 20, Compression Resistance 1

We can clearly see the fabric is very soft, look like cotton

2.      Then, trying decrease Stretch Resistance and Compression Resistance to zero

Stretch Resistance 0, Compression Resistance 0

  

This produce awful transformation, the fabric has not flexibility. However, the fabric can create striking effect.

3.      Increase Stretch Resistance to 200 but don’t change Stretch Resistance

   Stretch Resistance 200, Compression Resistance 0

 

showing a softer fabric than the first test, look like silk

4.      Compression Resistance is also increase to 200

 Stretch Resistance 200, Compression Resistance 200

This test than the first test is not significantly different, apparently, Stretch Resistance and Compression Resistance must need big different value will show the fabric discrepancy.

5.      Stretch Resistance decrease to 0, Compression Resistance maintain 200

The fabric like second test produce huge influence, therefore, we know the Stretch Resistance too low cause to the fabric has not flexibility.

In the Maya nCloth have a lot of character must to adjust, this time only control two character but that can create various fabric, after I still try to test other character and add object of collision.
