Description Created in Maya 2014, model created by me, animation from mocap data in Maya.

Just a quick cloth simulation test of an Ichigo model I created, it's not perfect as there are some penetrations and there's no hand animation but I'm only concerned that the cloth doesn't get tangled up too much. I'm planning on using it for an upcoming animation, I might post a few videos along the way to show it's development.Β Any feedback is appreciated!

And I know Ichigo doesn't do kung fu or dancing but I thought it would be fun to watch him do them

Absolutely brilliant!
If I have any suggestions, I would take a look at the fabric and body meshes, as as I watched I saw parts where Ichigo's knee clip through his clothing, and one or two moments where the fabric clip through other fabric.

Other than that man, it looks fantastic!

thanks for the tips! yeah it looks like his knees penetrate the cloth a lot, I think I could just increase the collision detection some more or just fix it up after animation

That sounds like a good plan, i would say doing it before rendering and after animation could work, and would hopefully create less work in total.

I can't wait to see the final product man!

thanks melviso! I only used the mocap data from Maya in this one but I'm planning on using more from the internet for my next animations (any good mocap websites you recommend?)

I haven't used mocap in a long time but I am sure u are already familiar with it. I have been busy with work. In my spare time, I am currently learning how to maintain volume in 2d animation. I have finally made up my mind to stick with 2d from now especially for characters but these are things I will do in my spare time which I rarely have time for since it is just a hobby.

Thanks! Now I just have to figure out how to connect them to my rigs, it was easy enough just using human IK to connect the preset mocap data to my rig so hopefully it will be a similar process. Good luck on 2D animation, are you still using 3D for modelling? (I think you told me you were doing a 3D architecture course)

yeah. Whenever I intend to do my side projects. Any organic character will be 2d like humans,animals,weapons. I will definitely be using 3d for environments and camera movement. For now, busy with work visualizing architecture using 3d software.

Oh my ! That was more than epic ! I am really waiting to watching the full fight , it was so realistic! And clothes simulation was great too!

Watching him fighting by hand was funny though we weren't used to Fist-Ichigo

This is incredible! ^_^ Motion is so smooth!!! What did you use to capture the motion?
Also, I loved his dance haha! I can't wait to see the finished product!~

STChimera In reply to MidnightMiku [2014-10-04 08:59:09 +0000 UTC]

thanks! Actually the motion was already saved into the program I used, so I just copied that motion onto the Ichigo model I created

Is very cool how the movements are so realistic!

STChimera In reply to napoleonvanmozart [2014-10-01 19:24:30 +0000 UTC]

thanks giovannni the movements were from preset motion capture so it's probably a bit more realistic than if I were to animate by hand

looks great, It's just the skirts that need a bit of weight to them and it'll be perfect!
