ClothMotion Example About Truespace Archives These pages are a copy of the official truespace forums prior to their removal somewhere around 2011. They are retained here for archive purposes only. ClothMotion Example // Roundtable 1  |   Order by default Post by frank // Oct 26, 2006, 10:50am frank Total Posts: 709 I'm calling this an example as opposed to a tutorial since it's not really a step-by-step thing. I'm sharing a scene file (.SCN), along with a matching ClothMotion settings file (.CFM). Also there's a screengrab of the various settings. With this, you can get started playing around with soft body dynamics type stuff. The scene includes a cloth object, gravity object, and collision object. Load the scene, load up the ClothMotion tSx and from within there, load the settings file. If you run the simulation as-is, you should get a cube that falls onto a sphere and sorta bouncy-rolls down it onto the ground where it bouces a bit more. TIPS: - Gravity amount is determined by the scale size of the gravity object (Cone, in this case). Make it smaller for less gravity and larger for more gravity. - Rename the file DeCubeWobble.TXT to DeCubeWobble.CMF after downloading. - Play around with the settings. That's how I learned. - Once you get a simulation you like, you can apply SDS to the cloth object.

I got it to work initially but when I applied SDS to the final 'simulation' it just reset to a simple plane time and time again. Someone said it was not compatible with tS7 so I left it at that...:confused: Post by GraySho // Oct 26, 2006, 12:37pm GraySho Total Posts: 695 I remember the jelly cube animation, which was animated with clothmotion and rendered with vray. Not sure if it was actually animated in ts7, but vertex animation imports fine from 6.6 (according to frank) ;) Post by splinters // Oct 26, 2006, 12:41pm splinters Total Posts: 4148 Actually I remember the jelly and another example that Frank posted during tS7 testing. I simply could not get it to work for me with a fresh scene. Maybe a little perseverance...:rolleyes: Post by frank // Oct 26, 2006, 3:07pm frank Total Posts: 709 Frank, are you using Clothmotion with tS7? Well this one was done in trueSpace 6.6 BUT the finished vertex anim should load fine in trueSpace7. Now, the issue of getting Clothmotion to work in trueSpace7 Model side....hrm.... not sure why it won't do the SDS properly for you, since it should be just vertex keys and after that non-dependent on Clothmotion. I'll try and give it the once-over to see what can I find out... :) Not sure if it was actually animated in ts7, but vertex animation imports fine from 6.6 (according to frank) Das ist correct. ;)
