DCarpenter Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I tried searching this tech board for 'drape','fabric', and 'clothes' but came up with nothing, so if this topic has been discussed before and you can send me a link to it, I would be very appreciative. I want to create a drape tool, but am having a hard time figuring out the best way to create drape (or fabric) without making a ton of poly's. Has anyone figured out the most optimal way of doing this in Vectorworks? Yes, I know a drape tool exist in VW, but unfortunately I can't access it's code to customize it to my needs. Thanks in advance for helping me out. Dave Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted February 22, 2013 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted February 22, 2013 What do you need to Soft Goods tool to do? Just about any sort of swagging drape is going to be a high polygon count. The best option is to use a NURBS surface. Take a look at this post for some suggestions.
