Anyone gotten Agieas Metal Cloth to work in UT3?

Stronin

Hello, my names matt. My main point in posting up this thread was to seek the advice of you resident experts. I'm part of a games collaborative at my college and I've been attempting to recreate the metal cloth tutorial level which Agiea created for Unreal Tournament 3, but instead of metal balls, we've been trying to make junk cars be deformable ingame-realtime.

However despite trying to reverse engineer their process I've left with only some odd physics glitches, and no deformable car.

Has anyone gotten metal cloth to work? I would really appreciate any advice you could give!

And if someone else would like to take a crack at it from a fresh perspective, here are the tutorial levels...

It's the one labeled dm-mtlcloth

Thank you once again!

Sorry I don't have the time to look through what you are trying to achieve, but this link might help as it sounds pretty similar.

Thank you, I'll check it out

And just to clarify a little, we're trying to make dentable/deformable cars work within unreal engine 3. Agiea made a series of demo maps showcasing their PhysX tech within Unreal Engine 3. One of which was a demo of "Metal cloth" or in other words deformable metal.

In their demo metal balls were dropped from the ceiling. When they hit the ground or where hit by another object, that part of the ball would dent realistically.

The tutorials on that site are mostly about literal cloth sims in Unreal, it gives me a few clues but nothing really specific to metal cloth, thank you though.

The only deformable surface technology I can think of in Unreal 3 only works with the Gears Of War 2 version of the UE3 engine. Unreal Tournament 3 does not support it. Basically I think you're using too old a version of the unreal engine.

The only reason I disagree is because the link I have posted here is a collection of PhysX maps Ageia made specifically for UT3. The deforming metal map does work in engine, I've played the demo metal cloth map they provided in Ut3 and it all works as it should. Unless you mean something else and I'm just confused.

Thank you whatever the case.
