Maya - Crumpled paper tutorial ?

mountains

Hi polycount

How do i model a crumpled ball of a piece of paper?

I find good way For 3dmax... but Maya ? or different technics, solutions for this.

How to make ? I want to give papers of different shapes.

I find different way but I don't understand

(This could be done with a NURBS surface "lofted" out of a number of "wrinkle profile" curves. By animating the vertices on the curves you could convincingly simulate part of the process. You may want to read on "cloth" in Maya 5, since there lies another solution. )

Thank you very much.

Any answer for this ?

You can pretty much do it the exact same way it was done in max, just using nCloth instead.

Made a quick and dirty little tut.

This is by no means final, sure i could get better results with a better shape to drop it into, and by messing with the ncoth settings, but it shows the basics for you.

O my god ! :') Thank you very much. Passerby !!!

You Made It! TUTORIAL ))

Absolutely beautiful. Im so happy now. :thumbup:

Best Tuesday ever

I think... it is also very useful for all Maya users.

I'm doing right now. Practice. THANK YOU AGAIN.

Any idea hows fix this ?

passerby

make the mesh more dense, or change the self collision iterations, or change the self collision type.

The cloth simulation needs a lot of geo to be accurate, so if you want it to be farily lowpoly you should just use reduce on it after you run the simulation.

Wow again, Thank you ! Passerby.

Ok what do you think... napkin paper details ? What can I do for more details ? like this. more polygon ?

passerby

planar map it before simulation, so you can put a wrinkle normal map on it.

made my day passerby, trying to make a fire hazzard suit, this works great for an aluminium look. if you don't delete the history and cach the simulation before doing the steps, this paper also looks great in movement.

Glad it helped

Any idea on how to do the poly reduction in Maya 2016 so it looks like this? The algorithm has been changed. Cheers!
