Introduction and Preparation<\/h1>\n

In this Case Study I’ll present some basics from Poser Cloth Room. I’m going to use pieces of cloth to cover objects, and to use as flags and banners. I also will introduce some animation, like moving objects, waving flags and using wind.<\/p>\n

To save you the time finding or making decent pieces of cloth, I’ve included some in the package that also contains this PDF. Credits to BagginsBill who presents a far larger package for study purposes on his own site<\/p>\n

To start, I’ll open Poser, delete the default figure (select it and click [Del]), and ensure I’ve got a ground plane and some light. Then I add an object to the scene, say a car.
\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholderTo add a piece of cloth, I can just open the (Windows) Explorer, pick the piece I like and drag it into the scene. I like the 3m sized cloth with a 20mm resolution, which contains (300cm\/2cm)2<\/sup> = 22,500 vertices. When you experience performance issues on your machine, you can take a smaller cloth with a lower resolution (as the 2m cloth at 40mm contains (200\/4)2<\/sup> = 2500 vertices, a tenfold less. Which of course will give you coarser folds and wrinkles.<\/p>\n

ngg_shortcode_1_placeholderI scale the cloth to 250% to ensure it can cover the car properly, and I give it a blocked texture to reveal to folds and wrinkles.<\/p>\n

I put the cloth somewhat above the car, I’m done with preparations, and enter Cloth Room.ngg_shortcode_2_placeholder<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
