Hi
Does anyone have an idea how to model a mail shirt in MAX?
I have no idea how to start. Do I realy have to move every piece by piece???

Thanks in advance for any tip
Kind regards
Hilmar

Maybe I must create a chain patch and use the cloth mod?
Dont know :(

Paul Hormis does this in one of his tutorials on cloth modifier. It is the best Iv'e seen and he includes valuable scripts to aid in construction. Good one Paul!

Or you could use this script from slidelondon (http://cghub.com/scripts/view/79/) instructions are in the zip.

Slideknit is the way to go for me. It works perfect. Thanks a lot!
