But as long as it's day are numbered thought I would post a little test I had done with Jenna and Cloth. It's not perfect, but it working in a pinch. Thought some of you might find it interesting. Certainly not perfect. But It was more a proof of concept for me, as I don't have a need for it.

"I'm sure in 1985, plutonium is something you can get at any corner store! But in 1955, the only thing capable of generating 1.21 jigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning!"

Sorry, just couldn't help myself... I love that movie:scream:

I like the effect. Downloading the file now to check out the setup.

Thanks,
Daoine

Very nice. This is the first time i've actually played with cloth/jenna but you can use your setup to make a very quick meshed fence too which is really cool. :D

That is a gem! Ditto on the Daoine sentiment, dl and study. And, I'm not into video at this time. Very nice.

Nice setup. It never came across my mind to use cloth this way.
Thanks for the file.

Peace,
Rich-Art. :thumbsup:

One of my favorite :D

Thanks everybody. I used a bit of a trick with proximal on it I forgot to mention. I was having trouble stopping the clothing from stretching and breaking the links apart so they scale up and down ever so slightly. Hard to notice.

With FusionThing, you could build a uni-mesh chainmail that could be "clothified".
