The next step

I am over the stress hole I fell into

Now, back to work!

This looks Bad

I will make the hair look like hair with stands going to the top of the head

Now checking the render view

Much better!

I noticed the middle spike. The 3/4 view looks better without the middle spike

The side view looks great with it

The front view looks weird with the spike

So I will look at my animatic to see if I need the spike or not

If I was to ever making an outside scene (I can add trees to my mini city), use VUE. It can create trees! I can add rocks, and as many items I want

I have fixed the topology for Joel's shirt both in Marvelous Designer and now Maya

Now NCloth

I am trialing the shirt for Joel first. To animate it, I am not including his hair until it is simulated correctly (spins on the spot for this trial)

I have asked tutor Rachel for some help to remember how to do it

Turns out I didn't need tutor Rachel. Thank you Vivi :)

It worked! When rendering, do not forget to use Cache (like in Marvelous Designer)

It cannot render and simulate at the same time

Now the pants :)

I have a plan. I will have two pants for Joel. One main pants when it is simulated in a sitting position and exported as an object, and the other for when he moves

This is because Joel is sitting almost the entire short film. So it will save me trying to get NCloth doing its best when Marvelous Designer can just have him sit and stay still

Strange. I am finding some fun things within NCloth
