Hi Mark,

I feel very humbled by your kind comment.  I am not trying to out-tech anyone, as I have said before, everyone's approach is valid.  And when someone asks for help I do my best to facilitate a solution.  My only regret in this case is that due to my day job it took me a week to create and record a solution, had to be done in sections.  And!!  It did turn into a bit of a marathon. My fault, but as I said I like to be thorough so that people do not feel I have jumped over stuff.  In this case it took what took to do, so here we are.  If it helps iClone users then fine, I am always willing to do so if I can.

I'll post the results of my scene which shows this technique.  It'll take a while to work on it.

I can't tell you how thankful I am that you made that tutorial.  I followed each step and didn't get lost. You explain things very well. I trust that many more iClone users will watch this because it is really a foundational level (though complex) to using soft cloth other than dresses and such. I'm continuing in your fundamentals course and am building my  know-how to make realistic animations. I, too, am stymied by having to work in the day and also putting up with my wife watching TV next to my computer until 11:00 pm.  So I don't have much time to work on my productions without being dreary-eyed except on the weekends. You are a real credit in teaching animation.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your understanding about the real world.  Yes indeed, it sounds like we all have to live with what life throws at us as they say.  In my case I am lucky in the sense that my wife and I both work in the same industry, mostly, so we have a joint workroom that allows us to separate work from pleasure and do our own thing when it comes to work which is often with completely different clients.

I too am trying to create my own projects, but sadly to pay the bills most of what I do has to be work related for now and indeed throughout most of my career.  That is one of the reasons why I do these tutorials that people sometimes ask for on the forums.  They focus me as though a paying client has tasked me with a job.  I find myself suddenly focused on a requested solution.  Sadly with my own projects I do not find such an imperative.

Maybe I should sack myself!!

By the way?  If you ever would like to be known by someone other than  'mark_20091217133447147' I can tell you how to do that if you do not already know.

This is totally great Alan!

I'm always amazed at how long my tutorials get when I want to be really clear. That's what it takes, and it does really help people.

Alan, I would like to change my id. Please share how that can be done.

Hi Rampa, that is a true compliment coming from you.  I have watched many of your tutorials and learnt loads.  We all can learn something from others I truly believe one should never be arrogant enough to think one knows everything.

You are indeed correct, some things do take time to get across and when you spend the time to go into the detail and hopefully present it well, the tutorial can often become quite long but as you say that is often what it takes. 

All the best

Alan M

I'll give Alan a break...
