Hi everyone,

i'm having trouble creating a pile washing in a short film i'm working on...

the problem is.. it's a large pile, it has to be carried and then stuffed into a washing machine and then jumped on.

i'm also wanting to simulate the movement you get when carrying a pile of cloth

i'm baffled as to how i can do this.. any advice is much appreciated.

cheers,
bob

for something that complex , i would hand animate it with clusters and various other deformers.

although at some other scenes you may want to try cloth simulation as well (either maya cloth , or softbody). For example when the character is carrying the clothes in a basket.

Thats my take on the problem though , there might be an easier way , if anybody else have better ideas i would love to hear them too
