Poser 8 Tutorial Manual
Stretch Damping (Default 0.0100)
Stretch Damping is most obvious during an animation. This setting controls how slowly or rapidly the fabric stops moving while it stretches. Low settings cause the cloth to flap excessively, whereas high values make the cloth move in slow motion. A setting of .01 is suitable for most purposes.
Cloth Density (Default 0.0050)
The Cloth Density setting controls how heavy the fabric is, and represents the weight of a 1 cm by 1 cm piece of cloth. Therefore, lighter fabrics such as silk or rayon will have a lower setting than heavier fabrics like wool or corduroy. Heavier fabrics will tend to weigh the garment down more and will cause more stretching.
Cloth SelfFriction (Default 0.0000)
This setting controls how easily cloth moves over itself. For example, wool creates more friction against itself than silk, which is very slippery. Increase the setting to create more friction.
Static Friction (Default 0.5000)
This setting controls how much force it will take to make a stationary cloth move against another solid object. Using an example, nylon over smooth plastic will have a very low amount of Static Friction while denim over wood will have a high amount.
Dynamic Friction (Default 0.1000)
This setting controls the amount of surface friction between the cloth and an object when the cloth moves over the object. Again using an example, Silk moving over a steel surface has low resistance, while cotton moving over skin or coarse sandpaper over rough wood has high resistance.
Air Damping (Default .0200)
This setting controls how easily the cloth moves through the air. Cloth that is woven very tightly has a higher resistance than loosely woven cloth. Values that are too excessive can cause unpredictable results.
Collision Friction (Default Off)
Set Collision Friction to On if you want to calculate friction when the cloth collides with other objects.
1. Continue from the previous task, or open the file named ClothRmTask4.pzz which starts where Task 3 left off. This file already has the Sequins dynamic group and the constrained group. 2.
The ClothRmTask4.pzz file can be found in the Tutorials/ ClothRoom folder in your Poser installation.
3. If necessary, select Sequins as the current dynamic group in Section 3, as shown in Figure 29.
