Carbon Cloth

Type

_images/carbon_object.png

Object node (SOP and DOP).

Description

This object node defines a cloth simulation object, its import geometry, and the cloth parameters.

Attach this object node to a merge node together with a Carbon Collider node, then the merge node to a Carbon Simulation node to form a simple simulation scenario.

_images/animation_carbon_cloth.gif

A Carbon Cloth.

A Carbon Cloth can be set up in two modes: Standard and Advanced, with Advanced mode being set as default mode. For beginners, it is easier to use the Standard mode to start.

Modifying the parameters in one mode will update them in the other, making it easy to switch between the two modes.

Parameters

Standard

The Standard mode provides an easy to use interface to the Carbon Cloth’s functionality.

SOP Path soppath

The path to the reference pose geometry. Can be either a Geometry node object or a SOP node.

Note

If there is a velocity point attribute on the Cloth SOP Path geometry, it will automatically be used to inject initial point velocities into the Cloth.

Enable edge collision to use a group of edges for collision, instead of faces.

When using Edge collision, it is recommended to switch to the Double Sided Cloth Guide Geometry for visualization of the simulated edges.

Face Group groupA

Note

  • This parameter is optional. If left empty, all faces are used for the collision geometry.
  • This parameter is only available if Edge Collision is not enabled.

Cloth stretch factor, must be greater than or equal to 1. Allows the cloth to stretch up to this factor. Also allows the cloth to compress down to the inverse of this factor.

Shear Factor shearFactor

Cloth shear factor, must be greater than or equal to 1.

Note

Shearing is a special case of stretching with the added benefits of surface area preservation.

Shrink Factor shrinkFactor

Values below 1 cause the cloth to shrink, values above 1 cause the cloth to grow. Some stretch factor is required to allow the cloth to shrink/grow.

Resistance stretchResistance

Damping stretchDamping

Cloth stretch and shear damping (dimensionless).

Cloth Model clothModel

There are four pre-set material models available:

  • Face-Segment-Crease: The most complete model, with angular, edge and area preservation constraints.

  • Segment-Crease: Faster as it only has edge and angular controls, but has a switch allowing the use of cross edges (this is the model typically used in pre-visualization, for its performance).

  • Lamellar Chainmail: Custom model dedicated to quad meshes that convert into an articulated chainmail. Also works for triangle meshes. All quads / triangles must be disconnected.

  • Tailored: This model is an extension of Face-Segment-Crease by introducing the notion of reference panels and anisotropy.

    Note

    Tailored cloth model only works with triangle geometry!

Note

Choose the material model that translates best into how you want your mesh to physically behave. Choosing the model defines how and where the cloth will bend and deform.

Cross Segments crossSegments

Add one additional segment constraint across two faces to make it easier to stiffen the cloth.

Note

This parameter is only accessible when using the Segment-Crease model.


Reference Pose

Animated Geometry geometryAnimated

Enable animated parameters for this section by evaluating and updating the values at every frame.

Note

It’s good practice to leave this toggled off when not using animated parameters because it impacts performance.

Animated Metrics metricsAnimated

Animated Angles anglesAnimated

Enable animated reference geometry angles by evaluating and updating the reference angles at every frame.

SOP Path refPose

The path to the reference pose geometry. Can be either a Geometry node object or a SOP node.

The reference pose can be animated.

Note

The Carbon Cloth node requires at least a reference pose geometry (or SOP) to be valid.

Primitive Group refGroup

Primitive group of the geometry that determines which primitive set goes into the cloth reference pose shape. The whole geometry is used by default when this is left empty.

Note

Cannot be used in combination with Face Group.

Flat Angle flatAngle

The angle is measured in degrees, therefore the range of this value is 0-180.

When using the *Segment-Crease*, the *Face-Segment-Crease* or the *Lamellar Chain Mail* model: Angular threshold to override the reference geometry crease angles with flat angles. Reference crease angles found below this threshold value will be replaced by flat angles. At a value of 0, none of the existing angles will be overwritten, whereas a value of 180 will force the use of flat angles for the complete cloth.

When using the *Tailored* model: Angular threshold to set the tailored seaming angles to flat angles. Seaming angles found above this threshold value on the start pose geometry will be set to their respective start pose angles. At a value of 0, none of the existing start pose angles will be overwritten, whereas a value of 180 will force the use of flat angles for the complete cloth.

Wrinkles Limit wrinklesLimit

Wrinkles angular limit applied to the wrinkles painted attribute map. The default value is 180 degrees. Using a negative value will reverse the map.

Note

  • Painted point attribute name: wrinkles

Start Pose

SOP Path startPose

Note

  • When no start pose geometry is specified, the reference pose geometry is also used as the start pose.
  • The start pose geometry needs to respect the same topology as the reference pose.
  • If there is a velocity point attribute on the Cloth Start Pose geometry, it will automatically be used to inject initial point velocities into the Cloth.

Primitive Group startGroup

Enable animated goal pose geometry by evaluating and updating the position targets at every frame.

SOP Path goalPose

If no SOP Path is set, all Goal Skin parameters are grayed out and cannot be edited.

Note

The goal pose geometry needs to respect the same topology than the one found on the reference pose.

Primitive Group goalGroup

Primitive group of the geometry that determines which primitive set goes into the cloth goal pose shape. The whole geometry is used per default when this is left empty.
