Cloth with ZETools

giftheck · Post by **giftheck** » Wed Jan 20, 2016 8:12 am

I'm following this tutorial here but obviously ZETools goes about adding cloth a different way to the Pandemic Tools. How do I go about selecting the fixed hardpoints on my cloth model?

Fixed Points > Pick
at the bottom of the Cloth ppg, you must have the cloth object already selected before picking.

I'm not seeing anything below the Fixed Points options in the ZETools cloth ppg. I also don't see a way to confirm the selection of the points I want to use as fixed points.

ZETools is not meant to be a 1:1 copy of the Pandemic Tools. Your installation might be broken or outdated if you can't see the Pick or Clear button. You can confirm your selection by selecting the ZEFixedPoints cluster under your cloth object to highlight your fixed points in the viewport.

Oh, no, I do see those buttons. I just wasn't sure how I would know those Fixed Points had been set afterward.

Out of curiosity, do I need to hide the cloth mesh when I'm finished with it?

EDIT: I'm getting this on export:

Either the collision primitive "c_r_thigh" is missing but specified in the "Collisions" field in the cloth property or there's a problem with the names because you have all your objects in a model.
So if "c_r_thigh" exists try moving all your objects out of the "GroundDummy" model.

You can see the fixed points by browsing to your object in the explorer (or Selection dialog in the right panel) and clicking the "ZEFixedPoints" cluster. You can also modify that cluster without using the Cloth dialog.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.

BTW, do I need to hide the cloth once I'm done with it?
