Smoothing 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

1. Select the dress and in the Polygons menu set select Mesh > Smooth.
2. Return to the nDynamics menu set.
3. Select nCache > Create New Cache.
4. In the dialog boxes that appear next, select Replace and Replace Existing, respectively.
5. In the dialog boxes that appear next, select Replace and Replace Existing, respectively.

   Maya automatically plays back the nCloth simulation and saves it to disk as a cache.

6. Playback the scene.

   The dress in the final animation is smoothed giving it a much silkier appearance.
