Hi Monica, my question is, what type of render settings do you have to be able to run your flag simulation so fast? Great videos as always. :)

Hi! If i want to have the flag be waved around by a character, would the ncloth method work? Seems abit demanding

[@sanstudio4380]

I completed your 1k like

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Awesome! You 1k award! 🏆

[@Yiannio222]

Hey Monica thanks for the video, can always count on a great video from you! I was just wondering if i wanted a certain part of my flag to have more of an exaggerated effect how would i do that, in my case i want to have more folds specifically near the constraint as i have grips latching onto my flag. I've had a go myself but haven't really had any success. I know i could sculpt in Zbrush but unfortunately i don't have access to it so i'm hoping i can rely on simulation.

[@star172able]

This was very useful. I did a flag and my teacher had use do for homework. But my flag won’t move at all when I play it.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Hi Starlyn, did you figure it out? Make sure your flag has nCloth on it and a nucleus (gravity). The least it can do is fall. Hopefully that helps!

[@star172able]

Academic Phoenix Plus I did the gravity and that part.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Can you take a video capture of the problem and post it in the facebook community (It's in the comments). That way the community and I can take a peak. :) Hopefully we can resolve it.

[@star172able]

Academic Phoenix Plus okay I will . What’s the name of the community on Facebook?

[@selcukturgut3d]

hi, Can we export this project as fbx?

[@asrafmallick5849]

Hello monika where are you from? your tutorials are very important for us thanks for everything.go ahead.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you Asraf, I currently live in California! :) Thank you for your wonderful comment. I appreciate it!

[@noobanimator5236]

ur great

[@cjartworks]

Question: First thank you! I was wondering how did you get your playback to run so fast? Mine runs slow and choppy. Thanks again!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Hi CJ, I'm guessing it's my computer power. This is what I have. Hope that helps! Intel Core i7 6700K 4.0GHz, 16GB DDR4, 500GB SSD, 2TB Storage, GeForce GTX 1060 6GB :)

[@cjartworks]

@@AcademicPhoenixPlus Ahh interesting. I will have to look into my specs. Thank you so much for responding! Much appreciated! Keep up the excellent work!

[@beanyume]

@@cjartworks (late response but anyway) i played around with the nucleus settings a bit and depending on what i changed it could get choppy and slower. maybe you have to look into that as well

[@StaticX73]

I am using Maya 2023 and the ncloth does not work there....cloth doesnt even fall or move at all :/

[@StaticX73]

@@barraiya I think 2023 still unstable or buggy...I switched back to 2022

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

I'm sorry to hear that nCloth is not working for you two. I'm not sure what's going either. I just tried it using Maya 2023.2, and it worked like a charm. I'm curious if you deleted your history/froze transformation before adding the ncloth/passive?

[@larrytchogninou5438]

Can I export this animation as fbx for an AR filter ?

[@aracturus6220]

hey, Monika! just wanna request a Hoiudini tutorial if possible. from beginning to advanced.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Thank you for the comment Aquib! I'm not much of a Houdini user. Sorry!

[@FioreDeste]

when i create the ncloth it's super stiff, how do i make it lighter and smoother?

[@ObzTicle]

Did you watch the whole video? I can help if need be.

[@artistroy]

Hey, amazing work. Would love to get in touch with you for a project.
