solved by myself,

i just had to move to deformed object above the cloner an now it
gets processed before.

hey,

that would be the simplest way to go forward,
i am just looking for a 3D effect that goes somehow truh
the body.

like the heat map in turbulence fd looks like:

thanks,

thanks for your thoughts so far,
i think the bodypaint approach is pretty legit.

Also sharing a psd with fixed layernames could be pretty good
cross software situations ( BP, PS; AE ) to preserve a layer order structur.

actually i started a setup using the Octane plugin, it provides a mixed material
where i can use alpha maps independent from the material itself.
kinda like selections..

so some could drag and drop fabrics independent from the “distribution file”

other minor problem:
no matter what solution will make it once, i am still stumbling how to scale and rotate a fabric, with uvw mapping.
because i cant simply transform the image inside the shader that will be dynamicly changed , but thats way to complicated
at this stage, i will make variations for each fabric in scale and rotation i guess.

okay thanks again,

i might give an update once this clears out ☺

hey,

i know its a very blue eye’d idea..

And i am doing the intermediate step with an
after effects comp that key’s and outputs greyscaled images.
And its possible in other 3D Apps, so i am just asking.

The final thing will be different kinds of fabrics on one mesh, and i wanted to keep
everything in one document for the fashion designers,

i am not in a rush here, and honistly i think it could be a strong feature if it would exist no?

thx,
Ronny

Maybe i am missing something ☺ how would you proceed?
Keep in mind that i want to get several greyscale Images Out
Of this, alpha maps. And that i want to Stack Materials That Way.
I dont want to solve this by doing it in a Layer based System in one material.

If you have a Way in mind outside of mine please go on. The Image
Was something i found somewhere Else, that still describes my plan perfectly.

Thank so far,
Ron

Hey Adam,

Wow!

I already get to the uv relax method,
but the Script you found seems amazing!

I will Try that tomorow !

Big thanks

not really, its a whole bunch of them

in this scene, they are some sort of backround filling.
so its okay if they behaive wrong.

what i did now, is to use a mograph fracture object and i time efffector,
with a random effector to bring variation.
its kinda solved, but i am still courious about the xpresso approach.

thanks,
Ronny

hey brian,

perfect, i didnt know that
there is another node for dynamic collisions,
but it makes sense.

i will find a way with that one.

thankls a lot!

thanks alot,

i have a good feeling that this is what i am looking for,
infortunatly its not available when using layer emitters.

maybe i go for a point emitter and clone this setup 6 times
fot the final thing.

thanks,

i tried that to inhuman values,
but it seems like i just get more particles in the
dotted spots, the gaps still remain.

so the structure of the dashed line becomes more clear when i
increase the particles per second.

my feeling is, that i need to emit even between the frames.
