Success

Well, today was a good day went into college early to have some peace and quiet before everyone else came in, checked my emails first and to my surprise i had a reply from Duncan Brinsmead, who is he? Only the person who helps create maya and especially nCloth, so who better to ask with the troubles i am having. He said i was going in the right direction with what i was doing and gave me some helpful advice, first of all i should be using a plane not a cube the thickness comes after wards, which is good as we want it to be thick. By doing it as a plane i dont have faces going through one another, which looks awful!

Whilst yesterday i was able to get it to work with Ed breathing i still knew it would struggle with extreame movements, even putting the oxygen mask seemed impossible. Well, fear no more as today i was able to place the oxygen mask on the duvet and Eds arm! I am starting to see the light at a very long tunnel with over 70 playblasts of nCloth from the beginning to now, it is great to see progression, by doing this it has shown me that trial and error is the way forward and keep persisting with it as eventually you will get there.

Tonight I am gona start doing the UVs for the duvet and either make a start on the texture or have it ready for tomorrow!
