129Overview
The nCloth advanced techniques tutorial demonstrates a workflow that allows
you to simulate high resolution clothing mesh using nCloth. In the tutorial,
two lower resolution versions of a high resolution mesh clothing are converted
to nCloth and then simulated. Using a wrap deformer, the nCloth objects
become influence objects for the high resolution mesh clothing, which then
behaves the same as the simulated nCloth.Using this workflow, you can quickly
create animated behaviors unique to simulated cloth using high resolution
meshes.
The tutorial describes methods for identifying problem areas in your nCloth
simulations and explains how to resolve simulation issues, such as inaccurate
collisions and self collisions, which often lead to occurrences of
interpenetrations between colliding objects. Inaccurate collisions are at play
when the components participating in collisions do not accurately detect the
130 | Chapter 6 nCloth advanced techniquespresence of other participating components. This can happen when simulating
models with complex geometry. It also explains the importance of setting key
Nucleus solver attributes early in the simulation process to ensure better results
in more complex nCloth simulations. When simulating complex models, the
default solver settings often need to be adjusted to optimize your nCloth.
