Unreal Development Kit Cloth Basics Tutorial Series Part 2 - UDK Tutorial

[JessieGraybeal]

Thanks for the video it really helped with my project. I managed to get a working flag in. I have a problem though that I'm hoping you can help with. I added wind to the cloth to make it wave. It works great in editor but if I pick "Play On PC" the cloth of the flag just drops and doesn't move. Any idea how to fix this? I'm thinking it's some sort of setting on the skeletal mesh because it doesn't work in levels that came with UDK either.

[fleishkaese]

@NickStaple perhaps its too small?

[Tivio100]

The link is dead,

[ROWGAMEROOM]

how do you add your own stuff to it

[NickStaple]

My mesh is invisible in-game o-o any ideas why?

[zallazum]

link's dead can u upload it to mediafire

[Gigamonkey2]

So does the UDK still use nvidia PhysX?

[iStep2010]

Hi Raven,I was wondering if it's not too much trouble, can you send me link to download the cloth mesh. The link you put up seems to be broken. Thank you so much for the tutorial :D.

[marscaleb]

Now teach us how to make cloth on characters.

[SuperMrCupcakes]

Thanks for trying to help with these tutorials. Unfortunately nothing works since I cant import my cloth file, and also cannot download yours. Obviously you don't check to see if any links are working every month or so, because 2 months ago someone had the same problem with the link

[Sanderr90]

Is the cloth system very heavy on system resources?

[Gengster666]

How can i make metal cloth?

[FickDeineLtan]

Is is possible to give the plane 2 material id's so the backside isnt mirrored in unreal later? I want some flags with symbols, preferably double sided. Not without making it a mesh, I guess

[FirstPersonSlayer]

The link doesn't working :S

[coffeegrunt2]

You can get Student copies of Max for free - provided you're a student.

[jessinlord]

how did you get 3d mqax for free, torrent or something?

[asagpol]

How would I make it collide with the player and bullets?

[hkev96]

hey my udk is not working at the moment but could you do this with any skeletal mesh?

[Priest909]

Thanks Raven! very useful info!

[MrKhaern]

Hi, I have followed through both of your tutorials on cloth physics in udk doing exactly the same as you have been but each time i go to use the cloth within udk it simply does not work. When i press the small flag within the skeletalmesh editor as well nothing happens. Any idea as to what might be going wrong?

[YouPhake]

Can you please make the cloth in Maya. I'm following all of the UDK steps correctly, but apparently my creation file isnt correct.

[xxCOOLDUDExx21]

WHERE DO YOU GET MONEY FOR 3DS MAX

[raven67854]

@xxCOOLDUDExx21

I got it from autodesk for free.

[MasterCheese99]

@raven67854 how?

[bomblaster42]

@raven67854 how did you get it for free?

[raven67854]

@bomblaster42

students.autodesk.com

[6littleMERMAIDS]

@raven67854

3 Year license for about 30 Programs

Fucking Awesome xD

[Smileperience]

@raven67854 Is there anything i have or not have to do to get it for free?

and by the way. the link is brken so could you please reupload it?

[george3dmax]

@raven67854 LOL, i was a such dumpass, torrenting when i could get a software for free with higher speed and free serial key now i have max 2012, oh snap plugin doesn't support it, only early versions of max.

[maticoff]

@xxCOOLDUDExx21 you can download a student edition that is quite cheap, well a lot cheaper than the real thing, i suggest going for their entertainment suite, comes with maya and all their best programs for games :)

[Olirap]

@xxCOOLDUDExx21 If you have a student email you can get it for free for a year!

[prodigyset420]

@xxCOOLDUDExx21 I have 3ds Max.. maya, mudbox, zbrush, All of Adobe CS5 and 4 might I add.. a cintiq 21ux. Also, a tower with 2 quadro 4000 graphics cards. Obviously UDK, Cry engine sdk, Unity, blender, gimp, sketch up pro, some other odds and ends in autodesk also. If there is a will there is a way. But I get most of this on discount because I am in school for game design. The cintiq was not on discount... those fuckers!

[supersushi269]

@xxCOOLDUDExx21 Use blender its FUCKING free

[yhenry14]

where can i get it?

[philthegreek1983]

If you are using the March beta of UDK cloth does not work in the animset editor. You need to place it in your level and underneith its properties once placed you need to enable cloth simulation and Cloth Awake on Startup checkboxes under the SkeletalMeshActor -> Skeletal Mesh component -> Cloth menu

[dirkmalta]

@philthegreek1983

Thanks philthegreek1983. Tried the tutorial 5 times to make sure I followed the correct instructions but still it wasn't working..Than I saw ur post! Thanks!

[fsmaestro]

my cloth doesn't simulate in the animset editor (march build). Flag is toggled on and all settings are good. I have a nvidia card.

[JRoeMedia]

When I click to import the psk file nothing appears in the content browser :( I don't have 3ds max and I downloaded the psk file from the link in your description. . Any I deas what could be wrong?

[MikeDCrossley]

I followed the tutorial step by step but when I clicked the red flag the object didnt physicalize :S i even tried using the provided file

[stop619]

@MikeDCrossley There is a bug in the March Beta of UDK affecting cloth animations. Try the February Beta. I had the same issues and it worked for me.

[Spatan117v35]

@MikeDCrossley same i cant get the cloth to move

[sexy3003]

how do i make a game? like a little big planet game,

[sexy3003]

how do you make a menu?

[McEasid]

i have a question, i made a building in blender and added it to udk. its a skeletal mesh and how can i add collision? if i go to properties and go to collision and choose block all, the building don't block my figure. why?? sorry for my english, im german.

[darkyyes]

Gpu based physx can be run on computer with ATI just need a second Nvidia as physx processor using the physx mod patch to be able to run Hybrid systems ;)

[RoyHatcher77]

Hey Raven, nice vid man. I downloaded your cloth sample because mine was only showing up onesided...but your does the same..is there a reason for this? In the video yours is double sided. How did you get it to do that?

[Muthafuka2k]

@RoyHatcher77 Never mind dude I figured it out. Thanks for the tutorial BTW!

[djorkid]

oke thank you for this tut so like how can i make it that it reacts to players so when you want to walk through it, it goes away

[djorkid]

hey you can make the static mesh in the editor to if wanted with like a bsp plane and convert to static mesh

[raven67854]

Yes you can make a static mesh in the editor. However in order for cloth or soft body's to work. You need to use a skeletal mesh. You can't use a static mesh for cloth.

[djorkid]

sorry for the noob question i was listening to some music and was just looking to the video

nice video btw :P

[raven67854]

Haha it's no problem

[kingofmyworld324]

thanks but it does not interact with the character

[cb2198]

Right-click and look for some sort of collision setting.

[kingofmyworld324]

I still cant make it work.

[raven67854]

Doube click the cloth mesh, go to collision, Select the collision type as block all. And then your player should collide with the block.

[kingofmyworld324]

Tried that but it still doesn't interact.  I will try again later.

[sackspawn1]

Thanks

[raven67854]

Your welcome

[sackspawn1]

Do you now how to make water ?

[raven67854]

Yes check my fluidsurfaceactor tutorial for water.

[charginmahlob]

Thanks alot ;) really nice that you're making tutorials for UDK this early.

[raven67854]

Your welcome and yes I am making tutorials for pretty much anything I know/learn.

[SaigoMember]

slow loading video, i use USB,

do u mean UDK support 3ds max cloth and soft body system to be run on UDK??

[Reitl]

Emm, physx needed there ?

[raven67854]

No you shouldn't need physx to do the cloth physics. Just don't enable hardware acceleration.

[crank009]

Thank you very much.

This is very helpful tutorial.

I hope to see more tutorial from you.

[raven67854]

Your welcome and don't worry you will.

[crank009]

Thanks.

And I wonder how to run game in full screen.
