Lucid 3dsmax: Get a very hard time making and understanding basic cloth ...

Hello ! So i'm trying to achieve "strong" clothes, like heavy leather or snowboard heavy jacket ect ... Cloth system seems to work well but i can't get "semi-rigid" cloth. It's always too "curve" like silk, i try to get better results for 3 days but no way i can get a "semi-rigid" cloth. Also there's a big lack of information in the doc. I play with settings and try to understand exactly how it works but changing settings seems no to change a lot to the simulation. I think artist need to see example of differentes values and what it does exactly. For playing with stretch, bend, siftness ect ect i can't tell what is doing what ... Very frustrating ... Hope's someone can help ! Kwen

EPHERE	Hi Kwen, Have you tried increasing number of substeps and iterations in the simulation as well as changing the cloth rigidity parameters? Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.)

kwen	Hi marsel, Thanks for your reactivity. I'm on a commercial/confidential project and i must do 3D cloth for a brandmark. I play a lot with all settings but it's like searching the door in a black room. The cloth simulation works but i can't achieve what i need. All my cloth looks like silk pyjamas. The best i get is in this picture, but still don't look like hard cloth. Kwen Attached Files:

EPHERE	Did you try adjusting the substeps as I suggested? Perhaps you can replicate the scene and send it to me and I can see if I can create more rigid results for you? Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.)

kwen	Hello Marsel , Yes i tried to change substeps settings (i try a lot of thing). Lucid works very fine but i just can't get what i need (strong heavy jacket), there's something i'm missing or not understanding. It would be very cool of you to have an eye on my file. I put it with this message (had to cut some part of the human/collision model because it's commercial model and i can't distribute it freely). I hope you'll get the result i need ^^ and i'm impatient to see your settings. Whatever, thanks ... Kwen Attached Files: ephere.rar (544919 bytes),

kwen	Hello Marsel , I tried huge value as 300 sub-steps and it's getting better ... Still trying ... Kwen
