The collision tolerance is the default I basically just turned off selfcollide and set stretch type to spring. I'm just trying to feel my way through the parameters. This posting I lengthened the sleeves and trying bending the arm more. I should note that the shirt is assigned to the neck bone and I used the attach group (see flag tut) as the neck hole and the top of the holes where the sleeves start in the armpit area. I will adjust the collision tolerance tomorrow night and get the sleeves tighter. shirtthom_03.mov

sleeves added thanks Rodney next to move arms more and see if i need to anchor the sleeves differently shirtthom_02.mov

this is just a test rig again but off to a good start ? shirtthom01.mov

the project file right click save as superthom01.prj

I'm going to post the first project here to change settings i'm showing where the setting are in this sample. You can change them and then simulatr them to find out how look at the simcloth tutorial page on the forum. Yo can then remove the simulation add an action and simulate again. For the last one I set the chor to 90 frames per instead of thirty. the screen grab is here Might try a shirt next

Tried to render with shadows with Thom in opposite direction nothing except that stretchy capes look weird when they unstretch Will post basic project yet tonight superthom05a.mov

Sorry no shadows they don't show but this is an attempt to fly after removing self collisions. Besdies shadows decals don't seem to work and some materials don't work I haven't played with that area much superthom05.mov

I agree Jeff just playing around with settinngs to see what controls what and how much.

using the last adjustments added the jump action off the cd which is not quite right for Thom but its late ...anyway here is the results superthom04.mov

switched stretch and bend both to springs and reduced bend stiffness to 1 superthom03.mov

reduced stretch and shear stiffness to 5 for this test looks less stiff or at least not as bouncy superthom02.mov

This is my test model I will be posting a few other static trials with different settings then get thom moving superthom01.mov

played a little bit with gravity in timeline and got this whip2.mov

as most of the time here's project [attachmentid=13873] whip.zip

initial test with cloth as rope or whip Black is a tube of the new cloth in 12 whip1.mov

Rodney most of my work is short..it has to be to be posted here Besides my attention span is only about 15 minutes
