  • Water with “clothes tag”

    Posted by Mihaela Alsharkawi on October 1, 2011 at 9:21 pm

    Hello,
    Ok,so I created a simple “fall” with Clothes tag…BUT…I need from the fall,a very little frame (from 0.033 to 0.666),bcs here I found the motion that I need.It’s tooooo short and I don’t know HOW to make this little time bigger (or this special motion).I need the water to continue this frame,for longer time…maybe 10 sec…HOW TO DO IT?
    Thanks a lot!
    Regards

    You can do this by baking the animation to keyframes. You can use the Character>Mocha tool to do that. It works like this:

    1. select the cloth object;
    2. open the Mocha manager and check the PLA box;
    3. activate the move or scale tool;
    4. click “start realtime” in the mocha manager and click and hold your left mouse button in the editor window. Hold the mouse down until the animation stops.

    Now the point level animation should be recorded and you can delete the cloth tag. The PLA track can be scaled to make it longer.

    You can also slow down the cloth physics by increasing the global drag parameter.
