Re: Dynamic Cloth
-----------------------------------
After viewing "Egyptian Diva" by Casette, I was reminded just how difficult it is to get a cloth square to lay flat on the floor; so I did a few more experiments.

I never did achieve a "perfect" result (yes, I could do a little "postwork" and solve the problem; but that was not the point of the experiment...); but I did get pretty close, and learned another thing about the Poser 5 manual.


The manual states:
"The collision depth and Collision offset dials are limited to minimum 0.1cm and maximum 10cm." This is only half true; the Collision depth dial will acccept values lower than 0.1.

The manual states:
"Before adjusting these settings, be sure to enable the Object vertex against cloth polygon and Object polygon against cloth polygon options..." This is true; when using low collision depth setting without these options checked, the cloth will fall through some parts.

The manual states:
"You may also try reducing the Steps per value from it's default of 0.2 to as little as 0.005." I did not try this yet; but the default value is not 0.2, it is 2.0.
Since I did not achieve a "perfect" result, I will try this later to see if it will get the square to lay flat on the floor.
