TheSpleen Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I am in need of a detailed mans hand model. What I plan to use it for is a giant hand of God for my video. (thus the details) Hopefully some of you great modelers might have just such a hand? Thanks! Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Baker Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 These are pages and info that helped me with my cloth tests Best I can remember 2 of the projects are what Robcat helped me with and the Veda prj was mine Hope they help. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showforum=53 http://www.iii-d.de/html/tutorial-cloth-englisch.htm http://www.hash.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/f175.html http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showt...49&hl=cloth armslevetestRCH03.prj armslevetestRCH03d.prj Veda_Dress.prj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpleen Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 I looked at the projects and viewed the threads. is there a simple way to explain cloth density to me so it does not take me weeks? LOL Thanks! Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyGormezano Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I believe people are referring to the mesh density used for your clothing (number of patches per whatever) when referring to cloth density - The art of figuring out the correct density for your model (sleeve) is a trial & mostly error process - sometimes more dense works better, sometimes less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 25, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 25, 2010 Sorry, didn't know there was a cloth question in this thread from the topic title. My limited experience tells me that cloth needs to be fairly dense... meaning quite a few patches, as Nancy showed. For real world scaled objects about 2cmx2cm patch size is a place to start. Deflectors, on the other hand don't need to be terribly dense. Less dense cloth has the advantage of simulating faster, so you don't want it any denser than necessary. A:M cloth is much more powerful than I thought but you have to be willing to do lots of tweaking and re trying with settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 25, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 25, 2010 Here's the shot of the mesh on my Punch doll. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=318269 That's a case where less worked better. But my "less" mesh is probably still denser than what you started with on your sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 26, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 26, 2010 Are those triangular patches in that mesh? It looks like triangular patches. Triangles in an A:M model? Something is criss crossing those squares. That's clue #1. Look at my Punch mesh again. 100% squares. 2... there's no cloth material on that group. I don't see one. You HAVE to put a cloth material on it. New Material... ChangeType to>plugin>hash>simcloth. 3... that arm isn't normal size. the 2cm rule was for normal sized stuff. you can make them bigger.

I will check on that material thing. Thanks! Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpleen Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 I made the mesh a bit bigger to get rid of the triangles. Ok I guess this is beyond my capabilities right now lol here is the model I am using if someone perhaps cares to aid me. GodHand.mdl I just need the two arms to have the white sleeves like a robe. I am wanting to have it come down and play that upright bass I made for only about 8 seconds. Thought the cloth might be good on this. I did make the material like Robcat said but I am assuming I did wrong again. LOL Gene sleeve3.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 For that short of a shot maybe the cloth is overkill. Why not design the shot and then decide if it's worth the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 27, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 27, 2010 I can't find a cloth deflector material on the arm in your model. I don't know how that worked at all. Try this set up. This is stiffer cloth with much more damping. I tried a less dense cloth too, but it took longer to simulate than the dense one. The denser looks better in this case. SpleenCloth05.prj Since you're going to be pointing that arm down, you'll probably need to take one CP at the shoulder end of the cloth out of the cloth group and attach it to a bone so you can pull the cloth up with the bone to keep it from sliding off the arm.

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 29, 2010 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 29, 2010 You might want to tilt the arm on the right a bit more so it isn't making such an awkward wrist angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
