Creating an nCloth simulation 11. Dynamic property maps How to import Maya nCloth into UE4? My team is currently making a short movie to render in Unreal 4. We simulated the character's clothing in Maya using nCloth, but we are having trouble getting it into Unreal. The character himself and his weapon were both successfully imported as skeletal meshes using FBX. Here are some info on our current situation: PhysX APEX cloth is a no go, we needed precise control for his clothing. His clothes are separate from his rig. We tried caching and baking keyframes with no luck. There was no "little utility script" on his blog, and our clothing has a few hundred vertices, so it's impossible to manually create joints and constrain them all. If anyone figures out how to get Maya nCloth into Unreal please respond asap. We need to finish the project in 4 days to graduate. Mar 18 '15 at 03:56 AM That other thread assumed a bit of technical scripting knowledge.

That is the answer you need though. UE4 can import 65k joints, so a few hundred isn't a problem. Currently, UE4 does not support geometry caches, but that is coming. Your other option is to do a morph per frame of the simulation, but again, you'll need some scripting knowledge. Here is another google search that may prove more fruitful: Once your joints are baked out though, you'll want to add those joints to your character hierarchy. Just parent them under your character's root joint. Edit: Ignore his export options, as they aren't applicable. Just export one skeletal hierarchy and your mesh as fbx once you have your cloth joints.

This feature would make getting precise angle cuts through objects exponentially easier. Seems simple and small :) 2 comments Modeling Flag idea as inappropriate… Enable Geometry and other constraints This is supposed to replace maya in an indi-developer's pipeline. The problem is: without Geometry constraint and other constraint options enabled, it is nearly impossible for us to prevent certain types of volume loss in complex rigs. blackout curtain liner hobby lobbyPlease give us the full suite of rig constraints!grisedale curtains 0 comments Flag idea as inappropriate…belfield furnishings curtains ilkeston Like Maya, support Linux... at the least, Fedora and CentOS, but an Ubuntu flavor would be a really nice to have.lioh curtains

LUA, C++, Maya, ... all good to go. Why not Maya LT too? 1 comment Flag idea as inappropriate… A reflection probe directly inside Maya LT will be a very useful tool for PBR texturing and look development. How to impove LT, How about better support? Hardly any replies from Autodesk here.Some ideas & feedback are so old & high votes, yet there is no answers from community manager.curtain wymowa Thanks for the feedback. red harper woven stripe linen look eyelet curtainsI’ve begun cleaning up some of the ideas here in the Ideas for Maya LT. Enable Xgen plugin for Maya LT I'm a graphic designer and use 3d occasionally. Xen is a neat tool and good for creating interesting abstract designs. Although it's not enough of a reason to buy a full version of Maya. Would be really great to have it in Maya LT or at least available for purchase separately from the full Maya

Support for stereoscopic 3D displays I have a stereo 3D monitor. I'd like to be able to use Maya in 3D to get a better sense of perspective. 0 comments Modeling Flag idea as inappropriate… Virtual Reality Support in Viewport Since there are a lot of Game Developers and Artist doing VR projects these days it would be most useful to have Oculus Rift & Vive support right in the Maya LT Editor. This would make for faster iteration and prototyping without having to leave Maya LT. Camera movement like UE4 (Shift + move tool). Maya LT needs a move option like UE4. when you hold Shift + move tool, the camera follows the object when moving it with the move tool. 4 comments Flag idea as inappropriate… nCloth support in Maya LT Creating realistic cloth assets (curtains/tablecloth/rugs etc.) is an essential part of the creation of many games, this feature would greatly reduce the time it takes to produce these assets without having to rely on third party plugins or tools.

Hi there, thanks for posting in the Ideas for Maya LT. I wanted to let you know that currently you can use the Maya LT PhysX Plugin for it’s cloth, that will allow you to set up cloth for the game engine. Be able to change the default 960 x 540 resolution gate to make it easier to do set dressing based on camera, for example 2D Vertical mobile games and make playblast easier to work with. You can modify the custom resolution gates, but it is a bit tricky. Use the ‘Select by Name’ tool to select: ‘defaultResolution’ Then use the attribute editor to set your desired resolution. Please add the Component Editor back This is unbelievably helpful for weight painting in the rigging process. Especially when working with very low poly characters each vertex needs to be weighted with specific values and not being able to numerically work with them and see all the influences makes things quite frustrating. 3 comments Flag idea as inappropriate…We will review this idea.

File Send To Substance Painter Support It would be useful to export directly to Substance Painter or more integration since is a stage between Maya and Unity 5 or Unreal Game Engine allow for PBR Texture generation. And if posible imported back into Maya. 2 comments File Import / Export Flag idea as inappropriate… Thanks for the feedback, we will review this idea! paint vertex color tool paint by Individual channel The option to use the paint vertex color tool to paint by an individual rgba channel while leaving the other channels alone, just like the apply color tool and its options. Better yet have it work like in photoshop and only see/ work on the greyscale of the selected channels 0 comments Texturing Flag idea as inappropriate… Add viewport icons customization/arangement to saved preferences As a game modeler, i don't need the rendering features offered within the view port icon buttons. The view ports are overly crowded with buttons I don't use.

I was hoping when selecting the split/triangle button (show/hide icons) This would get saved with preferences for subsequent startups. PSD File support like in Maya More Unfold Options Please! We have an unfold paint tool, an unfold for a mesh... but no unfold for selections (example: just 1 uv shell) Basically this request is for getting more control on what/how I unfold. * I don't want my previously unwrapped pieces to unfold again when I just want to unfold 1 shell or a few vertices. * Also consider adding a soft selection unfold please. An option for not extending the selection outside a uv shell would be a great added bonus. * An unfold that doesn't touch the outer borders of a shell but does unfold everything within the… more 1 comment Modeling Flag idea as inappropriate… Increase License limit to 2 machines As I understand it currently, Maya LT is limited to a single machine license. I find this limit too restrictive, and the license transferring too troublesome for my work needs.
