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.

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

  5. Playback the scene.

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