CINEMA 4D R11 Quickstart – Clothilde
9. Quick Tutorial – Dressing
Clothilde is MOCCA’s cloth simulation tool. You can use this tool to let a flag flap in the breeze or to give your
character a snappy t-shirt. This is exactly what we want to put on Claude.
What’s nice about Clothilde is that it’s not necessary to go through the trouble of modeling a t-shirt. All you
have to do is create the front and the back of the shirt. Clothilde will make it fit automatically.
Open the file “QS_Cloth_Start.c4d“. This file already contains both t-shirt halves as a single object.
If you don’t like the shirt feel free to replace it with your own creation. As you can see it was created with very
few polygons. Select the shirt. Switch to point mode and select the Bridge tool (Structure/Bridge). Connect the
front and back of the shirt (of course only where the shirt would really be connected – the openings for the
sleeves, head and body should not be connected). The Bridge tool works as follows: Simply click on a poing
on the front (or rear) shirt surface and drag to the point lying directly across from that point on the other shirt
half. Repeat this process with the next (neighboring) point. As you can see, this creates a surface between the
two shirt halves. Repeat this process until both halves are connected completely.
