Smoothing nCloth clothing

Learning Resources > Tutorials > Getting Started with Maya > nCloth > Lesson 3: Creating nCloth Clothing >

To improve the quality and overall look of the dress you can perform a polygon smooth. Polygon smoothing will increase the number of polygons in your nCloth mesh to give it a smoother overall appearance.

To smooth the dress

Select the dress and in the Polygons menu set select Mesh > Smooth.
Return to the nDynamics menu set.
Select nCache > Create New Cache.
Maya automatically plays back the nCloth simulation and saves it to disk.
Playback the scene.
The dress in the final animation is smoothed giving it a much silkier appearance.
