smart still simcloth

[dblhelix]

was there some smart solution to rendering cloth in stills?

once again i know i've read something about this on a couple

of occasions and now can't find anything in searches.

something about preroll, how not to render animation and use the last tga,

but a different solution?

i'm just dreaming?

there is preroll for particles but not for cloth AFAIK

 

However you dont' have to render every frame cloth is in , you can render the one frame you like by setting your render range when you go to render.

 

You DO have to let a cloth simulation run long enough for cloth to settle into the place you want it.

 

So you will have "animation" in your chor... the cloth settles into place... but you only have to render the frame at the end that you like if that's all you need.

terminology snubbles, yes, that's what i meant. ok, simulation doesn't take long.

there's something else haywire then, taking time. more probing needed.

i'll be back.
