Using Cloth Simulation, I'm glad you sort it, collision is lovely you're right about that. You can mix cloth simulation and weight painting to gain more control on its geometry.

About the shape problem you had remaining a plane, honestly haven't had it.

By the way if you are the person who recorded a video a week ago asking me something about this video: that video's been blocked due to Sony Music Entertainment's copyright. I really don't understand why someone would add music to such a video!

Point is: couldn't watch it.

Keep it up!

Hi Manny, I saw your answer today and realised I had lost a bookmark somewhere. It's been half a year now...sorry.I didn't send a video by the way, I'm not into machinima. Keep up the good work man! :-) Regards from Turpentine (SL) and Amsterdam (RL).

Hi Manny,

after trying to create a nice fishnet for a long time I found your tutorial and I hit myself several times. Smile

Indeed collision is a much easier way to pull off the same effect and it looks so much more natural.

Unfortunately my "cloth" sculpt remained a plane in SL, so I forced it to another sculpt type with a script.

It's the way we formerely used to set sculpts to "plane" but I used it the other way round now.

//replace the asset UUID with that of your own sculpt map in sl. (right mouse click on map in inventory -> copy asset UUID)

default

{

    state_entry()

    {

        llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_TYPE, PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT, "48332129-e5c9-d315-615c-3f75a8f67a85", PRIM_SCULPT_TYPE_SPHERE]);

//The next line makes the script remove itself after it is finished

       llRemoveInventory(llGetScriptName());

    }

}

Hi,

i have a little problem with blender. i tried this tutorial. but at end it is a bit strange.

i cant bake the uv map. pls watch this movie cos i cant explain this problem very good.. so i made this movie.

it is a bit laggy so you will dont see how i bake the mesh. but i just clicked on render and bake sculptie mesh but nothing happened.

and when i go to edit mode again on the scultie, i always see the plane but not the scultpie. but the problem that i cant bake an uv map is with other scultpties too.

here is the link to the movie: www.youtube.com/watch

thy for help.

Thanks for the help Manny, I quite sure now between my original settings and editing I scrunched up the vertices too much. All came out well on the next try. There are so many buttons, bells, and whistles in Blender I wonder if I will ever find my way around without messing up. One thing I know for sure is without Domino's scripts, this web site, and the kind help I have recieved along the way I never would have figured any of this out. I was so gratefull for the scripts when I downloaded them I sent Domino a thank you note card and a donation in world. Hopefully everyone who takes advantage of the enormous help this site provides will also make a donation. Thank you all again.P.S. I posted this reply yesterday, but as with blender I must have goofed up somehow as I do not see it. I'll post again and hope I have not double posted.

Manny this Cloth Simulation tutorial was GREAT! Finally got good results, except for one small thing. I have a ugly, ugly blackish line around my sculptie in world. I textured it in world. I suspose the next thing I must tackle is baking textures in blender, but for now is there anything I can do about the black line? Thanks again, and again!

hey Summerwish, "blackish line around my sculptie in world" sounds like rows of vertices colliding/overlaping, to help that not to happen setting 'Selfcoll Quality:' to 1-3 (2 or 3 should be fine) would sort it, but even it might need a post tweak depending on the shape you are modeling on. Take into account it might be, as well, the texture you're applying, maybe it's not seamless and somehow is repeating right there.

I'm just guessing, of course, in such cases up-loading an image and/or the .blend file makes it easier to figure out.

"Manny this Cloth Simulation tutorial was GREAT!" Thank you, behind each of the videos I recorded and brought to you all with Domino's help, supervision, re-encoding and hosting is a story, it took us about a month per video, and for this particular one I was struggling against a bad cold, not mentioning Domino's health condition back in time, if I didn't send the video that evening it was gonna delay forever.

It was stressful for us to conclude these videos, but we had a great time doing so beyond all and I got to know better the great fellow the person behind Domino Marama is.

I always say there is more to come, we couldn't cover all we wanted. Hope someday we will.

So, you are welcome, Summerwish for thanking me and I have to thanks Domino for the great times and effort he has put and done to keep this project to this stage and alive.
