of the lesson you will work with an animated character.
Open the second scene for the lesson
To ensure the lesson works as described, do these steps before beginning:
Open the scene file named DressAnimated.mb.
This file can be found in the GettingStarted directory that was installed
with your Maya software:
GettingStarted/nClothDressAnimated.mb
This scene includes an nCloth dress worn by an animated character model.
A walk and pose animation is already applied to the character.
Setting the initial state
When you load the file you will notice that in the first frame of the animation
the dress is suspended such that it does not touch the characters body. This
is because this was the input meshs original position. However, for this
character you want the dress to be in a relaxed position before the animation
begins. To do this, you need to edit the nCloths initial and rest states.
To edit the initial state of the dress.
