3ds Max - cloth simulation question

CGXel

Its there a way to simulate clothes like baggy pants while also preserving most of its original shape/look?

Like, lets take this as an example (yes, Inuyasha's pants), I think if I made the shape of the left one and simulate it I would get something like the shape of the right one due to the gravity (worst photoshop ever)





So again, its there a way to simulate clothes like that while perserving most of its original shape?, how?

You could try make it a closed shape first so it gets blown up like a pillow then put the holes back in and let gravity do its job for a few frames.

I got a little bit confused, but I think you're basically explaining how to get that baggy pants shape, but that's not what I was asking for xD

I mean if I already have the model, and I already sculpted the folds in ZBrush, how can I simulate that model with the cloth modifier so it follows my character animation, WHILE also preserving most of its original "baggy" shape.

While making a miniature curtain sim for a 3d dollhouse, I have found that the scale of the sim (cm/unit under Simulation Parameters) modifies the tension of the cloth, looks like it retains more shape. Try messing with like 0.1 - 0.4 cm/unit at first and see what that does.

Will try!, thank you for the tip
