Lynda - Learning nCloth

龙剑飞

nCloth是一个maya工具包，用于模拟电影和游戏的布料和其他动态表面。本课程探讨nCloth的基本原理和基本的人物视觉效果。导师David Feuillatre是nCloth的早期使用者之一，并将其​​用于“黑暗骑士”等电影的制作。跟随David一起学习视觉效果的历史，3D模拟技术，以及nCloth中动态网格，属性和力的基础知识。了解如何设置碰撞和添加约束，掌握nCloth设计的细微差别。在第四章中，David用nCloth介绍了一个现实世界的项目：一个在风中飘动的实际现实的国旗。课程结束时会附带两个挑战视频，让您可以使用nCloth练习自己的技能，并将David的解决方案与您自己的解决方案进行比较。


注意：本课程使用Maya 2018，但所示的布料模拟原理和技术适用于任何软件。

nCloth is a Maya toolkit that is used to simulate cloth and other dynamic surfaces for feature films and games. This course explores the fundamentals of nCloth and basic character visual effects. The instructor, David Feuillatre, is one of the early adopters of nCloth and uses it for his work on movies such as The Dark Knight. Follow along with David to learn about the history of visual effects, the technology of 3D simulation, and the basics of dynamics meshes, properties, and forces in nCloth. Learn how to set up collisions and add constraints, and master the nuances of nCloth design. In chapter four, David walks through a real-world project with nCloth: a physically realistic flag that flaps and flutters in the wind. The course closes with two challenge videos that allow you to practice your skills with nCloth, and compare David's solutions with your own.

Note: This course used Maya 2018, but the cloth simulation principles and techniques shown apply to any software.
