| Dear Friends, I am trying to make a character with a scarf/stole like the one you see in the attached image. The stole was created in Maya and soft cloth physics was applied in iClone. (the settings are also shown in the image below). I used dummy objects and activated kinematic for g3 violet character as shown in the last image. The stole was attached to the dummy object. Now the problem is when the character is walking the stole is moving with the character but when the character stops the stole falls down.. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks, Shilpa |

| Yes! There is a fix, but requires you to use 3D MAX.
You create the cloth in Max and must add a Vertex Selection Set with the vertex you want to "glue".
At iClone, you must assign the selection set to a particular bone or collision object, with the properties dialog Alt-S.
If you have no access to MAX then you must use one of the dynamic fabric props which have "pin" points and scale the prop as to resemble the scarf.
How did you do the scarf you are using?

| Hi Apparition
That scarf was done in maya...
What you said is correct.... In some motions this method is not working...
Thanks

| Hi Shilpa,
iClone does not recognize named selection sets defined in the mesh directly. To define selection set for iClone You should use MeshSelect modifier and it should be on the top of modifier's stack.
Definition procedure for MeshSelect exactly the same as for mesh (as shown on your picture).

| you could also use max physics pinning feature and pin it to say... a small box then Delete the Edges.Now it's invisble. use the invisible box to define the selection set in iclone! just a thought

| Yea! Vit3D said it correctly!
On the modifier stack, apply a MeshSelect Modifier right on top of the stack.
Then at the Mesh Select Modifier set it to VERTEX mode.
Deselect all possible vertex and carefully select those vertex going to be the pinned mesh.
Name the selection set using the selection window on top.
Do not forget to hit ENTER after naming the selection.
Now save the prop.
At iClone, import the prop. Select the Prop!
Then press SHift-Alt-S You will get to the Soft attributes hidden dialog.
At the Pinning Vertex Group window drop down, you will see the selection name you created.
Select it and set it Active.
Finally Pick the Target bone on the character. (Repeat until you get the RL_NeckLo bone.
Your prop should be now pinned.
Don't be too happy now! When the avatar walks you will have wild motions. Play with the Physics settings until you get it somewhat working fine!
iClone is pretty BAD for handling cloth simulation! Be warned!
