I'm trying to get my company to purchase clothreyes for a project we're working on. Has anyone used this? I need to be able to give examples of what it's done and capable of. I've looked at some places online but they're all selling it so of coarse they sat it's wonderful. I'd like another users opinion. Anything you can tell me is greatly appreciated. ~J
ehh - of course it's a wonderful stuff, even if I don't sell it :-))
Very very very slow, but it looks nice...try not to use it Rob On Mon, 9 Aug 1999 17:25:14 +0100, "Jeneen" <que...@yahoo.com> wrote: >I'm trying to get my company to purchase clothreyes for a project we're >working on.

I've used it and wouldn't say it's particularly slow really (there are options to speed up calculations, but of course they slightly degrade the final result). The main problem I had when attempting to use it to cloth a biped was the intersecting vertices error where part of the cloth intersects with the biped. Aside from creating cloth It's also extremely useful for creating solids which interract with other solids (bouncing off, causing dents in objects etc - but you can use Hypermatter for that too). I think my best example was a ball and chain demolition animation using the solid properties to create the swinging ball on the chain and the crumpling of the metal on contact.
I use it and I can say it's very good! But you'll need a powerfull machine to do the calculations.
