Cloth neXt simulations
Simulations from PolyWorks, shown as published. Each one is a Cloth neXt bake; the notes describe what to look for and the figures that PolyWorks has published.
Tiered dress, full-body animation
A multi-layer dress on a walking character, simulated against the complete animated body.
- TiersOverskirt and underskirt move as separate layers
- SleevesGathered sleeves follow the arm swing
- BodySimulated against the complete animated character
Measured on a production sequence
PolyWorks publishes these figures for a dense layered-cloth sequence against a complete animated character. They are approximate. Hardware and solver settings for the run have not been published, so they are not listed here.
| Measure | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cloth triangles | 230k | Approximate |
| Character triangles | 200k | Complete animated character, no collision proxy |
| Contacts | ~100k | Approximate |
| Frames | 223 | |
| Bake time | ~10 min | Approximate |
| Hardware | Not published | |
| Solver settings | Not published |

Jacket, collar and tie in close-up
A speaking character framed from the shoulders up. At this distance every fold of the jacket is visible as the head and shoulders move.
- CollarSits around the neck as the head turns
- ShouldersFolds form across the shoulders with each movement
Lace veil
A sheer lace veil resting on a face, shown as a close-up still. Thin, open fabric like this makes contact errors easy to spot.
Hooded jacket over a quilted top
A cropped, hooded jacket worn over a quilted top on a character with a raised arm, shown as a still.
- LayeringJacket sits over the quilted top at the hem
- FoldsSleeve folds bunch along the raised arm
- HoodKeeps its volume around the head
Soft bodies in the same contact solve
Closed volumes use the Soft Body role, with internal tetrahedralization created automatically. They collide with each other and with cloth in the same scene.
