AR - Cloth - (tm) Augmented Reality Cloth!

Yes! This is a Preview on the secretly maintained but released today to the public, latest innovation by Apparition!
Developed in association with Clo3D and Marvelous Designer from Korea!
A very special type of randomly distributed triangular mesh, allows for the best possible cloth draping, as tested and confirmed by major cloth animation developers!

AR-Cloth(tm) is a total 3D generation of clothing, where the usual crease and wrinkle simulation by bump maps is totally obsolete! It is possible to produce a great variation of looks by simply dropping fabric texture maps in the diffuse map box!

Of course beautiful designs, applied to the texture end up with a new CLASS of masterpiece clothing, such as the initial line of sport garments to be released by Alley in NO time!

Looks like you are on a roll... :w00t:

I Look forward to more HiRes actors and HiRes flowing clothes.

These is HighRes clothing Rampart!
Jacket Avatar is about 43,000. polys!
You can sculpt either the Pants or jacket for a fluffier look!

Yea!

:w00t: Great job! Looks fantastic, Apparition! Sure hope this type of cloth will become available for the other G5 characters, including BigBoss's Hutch character, some time soon, too! :)

August Graf von Platen-Hallermünde (1796-1835),
Auszug aus einem "An Justus Liebig" gerichteten Gedicht von 1828:

Soll bergen ich mein innerstes Vermögen,
Was ich empfinde zu bekennen schwanken?
Ich schämte mich der eigenen Gedanken,
Wenn sie, wie Schwalben, an der Erde flögen.
Hienieden lohnt's der Mühe nicht, zu zagen,
Und wahr und frei zu sprechen kleidet Jeden,
Da bald wir Alle ruhn in Sarkophagen.

Looks really great!

Danke für Flex - Haare und Kleidung, die nicht durch den Avatar gehen !

Is the sculpting internal or external to iClone???

sjonesdc :hehe:

STILL LEARNING!!!

I already looked at Clo3D last year wit Sen. It is promising but I did not like the fact that it outputs all meshes in triangulation which leaves no room for optimization.

In any case, Clo3D is a good tool for making clothing meshes but you still need to skin them in Max to be of any use in iClone.

Cheers.

Great cloth Mike ;) .

I played also with Marvelous designer (MD) for testing , and we exchanged lengthily with Bigboss on this tool .
It's a great tool . For us , the problem was triangulation and polycount . But it's really fun to import G5 into MD and test/make cloth .

Thank Mike for demo inside iclone ;)

Well.... I agree and disagree with both Sen and BigBoss!

On the first place, it is well know random triangulation (not triangular subdivision which is different) is the BEST option for natural looking Cloth. Why would Cloth simulation programs, specially designed for that, us it if that was not the case?
That is the reason the Garment Maker in max uses random triangular mesh! It is the reason why Clo Co uses it to and that is the reason I do as well!
This cloth is not supposed to be "optimized" or tweaked! It is supposed to be used! To bring elegance and realism to iClone Avatars. Tweaking? "Optimizing? Bah!

I can publish several documents on the subject if someone is interested into really understanding the subject!

On the other hand, it is true it is necessary to rig it in MAX! Of course! That is our business here, right?

But I am closely working with Clo CO to enable a rigging tool so it will be possible in the future to do it without MAX or MAYA!

Meanwhile, that is what Apparition is here for! To design, produce and market this beautiful SUPERIOR kind of garments, not like plastic tubes, painted with simulated relief!

And we are cooking many in the stove!

To Sjones:
You should export it with 3DX, play with it with Zlike programs and bring it back.... If you want to....
