Re: syflex cloth

["Kris Rivel" <krisrivel(at)gmail.com>]

To be honest, you should check out Maya's Ncloth...<<ducks>>.  It wipes the floor compared to Syflex IMO.  I too have also opted for the good old xsi cloth vs. syflex as well for very rigid things.  Plus I hate dealing with values that are 1 billionth of a decimal point.

Indeed. XSI cloth can also be made to shrink by decreasing the initial
rest length of the springs. AFAIK Syflex in XSI can't do that. A big
downside is that you can't set the initial state on XSI cloth, so I
found it really useful to have a script that applies the cloth
operator and a preset to a rig. That way you can generate your cloth
rig on any frame in any given shot.
