Need Help Wrapping One Mesh Onto Other

pixela

Hi !

I am trying to create a knit blanket. 
I have 2 meshes : One mesh with the knit Stiches modeled Flat.
I have another mesh in position :
 

I want to conform the knit mesh onto the blanket.

These are the techniques I tried :
3dsMax
I tried to SkinWrap the KnitStiches.
The problem is that it looses the volume on the stiches and gets very flattened when morphed.

ZBrush
1. MatchMaker Brush : The target mesh is folded and the matchmaker brush is great when the targetmesh is under knitmesh but fails because I can't make it in one viewport.

2. ZProject Brush: I couldn't get any decent solutions.

3. Created a nano mesh brush but cant need overlapping polygons.

4. Tried IMM Brush but the target mesh is very deformed to insert meshes all the way through.


So can you recommend me a pipeline?


Thanks in advance.

Yes. Unwrap the target mesh and apply the knit as a tiling displacement map.

Thanks for the reply. 
 I need geometry as it is a very close up and displacement mapping and normal mapping is not sufficent to give photo-realistic results.

Try surface deform if it's still there

we have made a wrap and conform modifier for Max.

If you need that realistic I would try to build the texture with curves. Kinda like this: youtube.com/watch?v=i_xqssKI-N8

Vector displacement map is another option.

Also, there's a very strange and tedious hack to get the best results with nanomesh. You have to export the basemesh to Max, convert to editable mesh and turn all the invisible edges.

Thanks guys for all these tips and methods. They are great.
I will check them all and will send my result after testing all.
Cheers
