ncloth intersecting

[optimus008]

!. make sure your character is a passive object. or if you can make a low polymesh version that you can use as a passive. this wiill help the solver out.

2. make sure you have self collide on you nCloth cape so it won't collide with it's self. Check the thickness setting as well.

3.Make sure the nCloth cape has collision on as well. Which it sounds like you have and been adjusting as well.

If you have done all of these and you are still getting interpenitration with you charater.
Make sure there on the same nuclues solver. Plus you might want to create a low poly versions of you charater like i stated above instead of using a hero object for collisions.

If this still doesn't work maybe Duncan can help you, he usually post here if not go to the autodesk Area and he has a blog you can post question on as well.

Good luck

I don't think that is the problem, but rather that both sides of the cape's thickness are intersecting.
It's an issue i got myself when i made my first tests with ncloth ,a few months back, and one can't seem to have a truly thick geometry during simulations.

I hope i'm not telling you crap here, but if you intend to turn a geometry into an ncloth object, you shouldn't give it any thickness before actually making it dynamic, but after.

So i'd say, you delete half the polys of your cape (wich means you're back to before you extruded anything), then you make up your ncloth, and then you extrude your polys.

That is the only way i found to have a constant thickness for cloth, with no interpenetrations.

Thanks for the reply guys.

@optimus

yea I have been playing around with the ncloth thickness and self collsion width over and over but it keeps doing the same thing.

@Kami

Yea it sounds like you had the same problem as me. I'm definitly going to try what you are suggesting thanks for you help.

Glad i could help ;)
