I have messed around all day with ICE, syflex, soft bodies and everything in between some help here? http://vimeo.com/4254202 I have a decent understanding of Softimage but I am not that good with ICE but I can get around with it so I'm not going to flip if you give me a lot of information in order to build this ICE setup. 2012-12-11T11:16:45+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/hair-with-dynamics/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/hair-with-dynamics/page-last/#When:20:50:16Z I have a model with several hair systems. I've applied dynamics to the hair and trying to get a good simulation. Whenever I start the simulation the hair pops straight out, out of it's combed position. For most the hair systems, I can can "reset dynamics" and it goes back to the combed position. If I try to run the simulation again, they pop out of wack. I've attached a couple images of what I'm running into. Thanks in advance. 2012-10-27T20:50:16+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/softimage-desperately-needs-a-good-skinmuscle-system/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/softimage-desperately-needs-a-good-skinmuscle-system/page-last/#When:17:32:55Z Softimage desperately needs a good skin/muscle system. and hair... 2012-09-20T17:32:55+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/subdivide-hair-guides/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/subdivide-hair-guides/page-last/#When:08:34:00Z Hi everyone, I'd like to know if there is any way to subdivide the Hair Guides generated by the program once you create Hair from Curves. I have created several curves styling a girl's hair. Her hair will be so long, from the head to the waist of her body. The problem, as shown on the image below, is that the guides Softimage creates for the Hair don't have enough subdivisions to represent the shape I make with my original curves. The main problem comes with the roots zone, as you can see on the image, so I think at least being able to add a point in the middle of the first segment you can see here would solve the problem this time :) [IMG]http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/2417/problemwithguidehairs.jpg[/IMG] Thanks! 2012-06-22T08:34:00+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/raindrops/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/raindrops/page-last/#When:06:24:19Z I´m following a tutorial on how to make raindrops collide into water and create that realistic and cool water effect. However i have run into a problem. I didnt really know how to describe it so i took a photo on my ICE Tree and i hope thats enough. Could anyone please help me with this? would be much appriciated:) 2012-03-19T06:24:19+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/rigging-skirt/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/rigging-skirt/page-last/#When:01:16:19Z I am rigging a toon girl character and she has a skirt. I want to add some controllers in skirt, What would be the best solition ? make a bone rig for skirt ? Is there a some thing ‘’cluster control’’ just like maya for control the slected points ? thank you… 2011-12-21T01:16:19+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/using-a-cached-simulation-as-a-simulation-base-/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/using-a-cached-simulation-as-a-simulation-base-/page-last/#When:10:02:15Z Hi guys, This might be a really stupid question ... but here goes. I have a cached simulation particles cloud that I am reading into a clean scene. (no simulation just reading the cache files). Is it possible to create a new empty cloud and duplicate some particles from the cached cloud based on a test (a proximity to geometry test in this case). Essentially I want to suck particles from the cached cloud towards geometry ... I figure I have to make a new cloud to do this. I would love to use move towards goal, but the self.emitlocation within the compound is red because there is no emitter on a cached cloud. And the Self.CollisionLocation inside that compound is also invalid.

I created a basic shattered object in ice and set the chunk id, my question now is how can i extract the pieces as separate object one level up so i can can have control and animate them by hand. Thx in advance. 2011-11-16T02:49:27+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/bone-dynamics/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/simulation-hair-and-cloth/bone-dynamics/page-last/#When:09:46:59Z I am seriously considering Softimage, 3DS or Maya and would like to know a few things. I need to do rag doll and floppy ears types of things using bones on a single mesh. In know that these things are usually done with separate rigid body objects connected by joints but I'd like to use a single object mesh and be able to rig it with bones that have limits set on them and are controlled by dynamics (springs perhaps?). In addition, I'd like to be able to apply IK for a few frames and then have the dynamics kick in at a certain frame (for football tackles when the player can become a rag doll after running and getting tackled etc.). Are these sorts of things possible with the above mentioned apps? If so which is easiest to set up? Thanks in advance any advice. 2011-08-12T09:46:59+02:00
