Tutorial: Fallen America Part 02

In HD

This is part 2 of 6 tutorials that show you the viewer, how to properly use the cloth modifier in 3DS Max 2009. I will show you the steps from beginning to end. Everything necessary to duplicate my flag animation.

A CLOTH TEST TURNED TUTORIAL:
This test still works with dynamic forces such as wind, gravity or whatever though it is NOT reactor based. It is far easier to work with a cloth modifier rather than a reactor based cloth simulation.

THIS TUTORIAL WILL COVER:
Editable Poly Modifier
Basic Polygonal Modeling
Cloth Modifier
Mesh Smooth Modifier
Shell Modifier
Unwrap UVW Map Modifier
Camera Shake (Curve Editor, Noise Float)
Texture Mapping

SOFTWARE:
3DS Max 2009
Adobe Photo Shop
Camtasia Studio

[MrGawn]

Hmm, I don't know what to tell you my friend. This seems to be one of those situations where I'd have to sit down at your PC to trouble shoot. I'm sorry I can't help beyond the video. I mean, it worked on mine and others as well, the video proves it. Apologies my friend.

thanks dude, I dunno why some people had problems following, I thought the pace and direction was perfect.

[MrBjornka]

thanks a lot man u help me for cloth simulation

[offline65]

I have the problem most people had.

The wind doesn't reacts with the cloth :(

[autopsy2]

thnx man thats great help there:D

[SmokiSounds]

argh i got it man, gotta tick "collision object" yo

my bad

you should make a tutorial on cloth deformation like for a car (or tank) on collision, that'd be cool

peace

[SmokiSounds]

naaah man i just found it funny with the deep cigarette toke lol

it worked out perfectly i'm adjusting stuff now

also do you know how to make the cloth not collide with a wall for example? i have it hanging on two sticks in front of a wall, like a cloth banner, but it goes through the wall. I tried adding the wall to the cloth objects and making it inactive, but that didn't help.

sorry man just a quick question like that.

[Melanatedone]

Thanks man... I'll try o acquire the save thing you use.

[RafaelGMarotta]

dam... that so strange... dont work with any change in wind... but if i set 90000000 hehe at all wind options the flag shakes... very ugly... but shakes lol
