Character Cloth not animating, CC4

Character Creator General

Hi there,

First time posting, but I am having some serious trouble with my model and the cloth simulator. I have tried with other models and have given up, but want to make this work.

I have the physics turned on, cloth simulator on, have collision bodies added to the areas the cloth touches, also added my weight paint.

However when I start a walk animation the arm goes through the cloth without causing any movement. The cloth itself remains completely static minus the movement of the of the parent bone. If I leave gravity on it goes through the body and through the floor.

I am not sure what else is the issue. Maybe the cloth sits too close to the rest of the body or something. I just have 0 idea how to progress with this. Any ideas would be helpful, thanks!

That’s a nice looking model. Anyway, it sounds like a UV issue. Recheck the cloth’ UV. It might be flipped or something. Did you create the weight map using a previous version of the cloth? Added or removed some edgeloops and forgot to reUV? If that isn’t the issue, then restart your computer.

Give the weight map a little more black at the top of the UV island, to hold the cloth in place.

I have and still acts like a rigid body. I have given up on trying to animate it and will sculpt it’s look in ZBrush. thanks for trying.

Send an obj of the cloth if you like. I’ll give it a try.
