Don't forget you can use the tapered collision shapes to better create cloth collisions for your physics asset... It will only effect cloth sim and allows you to create hips and butt that's shaped exactly as the model.
I can't wait for the day when Unreal Engine introduces a complex collision for character skeletal meshes. That way we don't have to fumble around with capsules and spheres in order to prevent clothing from clipping.
My problem is also present here, the skirt retains its general shape. During movement it seems very soft and flimsy but when there is no force applied it doesn't collapse like a real skirt would, basically ignores gravity. I have the same issue and even if I change the bend and shear values a lot the edge of the skirt is still almost like a rigid body, even if I rotate the character 90° to be horizontal, the skirt moves a tad but the shape of the edge is not broken.
Look into "jiggle physics". It's what they use to make things react to gravity. You would basically be hanging a bunch of little weights on the edge of the dress. Then it would move and respond more accurately than shown here.
So this is kind of out of desperation but maybe someone will save me. Do you have a solution for scaling the simulation? At scale 1 yeah the simulation runs perfectly but at .001 the size, the simulation screws up. Is there any way to have the simulation calculate everything as if it was at the scale of 1 but be at the scale of .001? Maybe some kind of instancing I am missing perhaps?
My character's body and clothes are separate. Should the capsule of the clothes or the body be larger? I'm getting some clipping on my clothes not sure how to fix
This was absolutely perfect. I subscribed and let the ads play fully because this is the first cloth sim video I've seen that doesn't feature a gratuitous/unnecessary amount of nudity. I love the model & the outfit you used. Do you have any games out on Steam or elsewhere? i tried clicking on your website but it says "Website not found"... Anyway, thank you for the great tutorial!!!
How do u move ur camera so smoothly in ue physics editor. What i do is hold down mouse click button and use the directional keys but moves me to far away. Sensitivity is too high
create clothing data from section i will create its not working some error are there ( failed to generate clothing sim mesh due to degenerate triangle )i will using iclone exported skinned character in this software. please help me.........!
Cloth simulation itself is quite performance heavy, and if it needs to simulate itself along a complex shape, it's gonna be even more heavy. Unreal can calculate a lot of advanced shapes from the meshes, but with that a few features stop working. It is a bit time consuming, but once you get a hang of it it's not that bad.
@@ItsMeBro I guess so, I've just spent so much time adjusting shoulder, arm, capsules, legs, and applying the cloth sim again and again, to avoid collisions, for just one character, when I had about 12 characters to do, all NPCs for video not games so I don't mind performance... If it was just one player character, I suppose it would be fine.
Anyone know how costly it is to use UE4 cloth sim? It seems very costly in my humble opinion. Besides it depending on the amount of triangles and such. When I swap a UE mannequin with a 50k mesh w/ cloth sim, the frame drops from 120 to 90ish.
Well it's a biggish constant physics simulation. So it will be a bit expensive. In my example, with 16k mesh there where not fps drops. Might look into how to simulate less or maybe lower vert count for the simulated part (don't go too low, will look bad for simulation).
Instead of capsules, I replaced them with multi-convex hulls by selecting each one and pressed the Re-generate button with the multi-convex hull selected in the drop down menu. Why don't the cloth collide against multi-convex hulls?
There are a lot of things in unreal that do not work with complex collisions. And also it is way more performance heavy to use complex collision shapes.

Could you elaborate on this more there is very little documentation on tapered collisions and youd be doing a huge service.
Is there?

Great tutorial btw!
Hey Bro hope you are all good! Totally forgot how to set this up, your quick refresher tut helped a lot, straight to the point - job done. TY!
This is just what I always wanted to know! Now I cannot wait to try it out. Thanks so much
Hello sir , can you make a video for hair physics in unreal engine 5 like the cloth physics you did in this video .
Thank you so much this is perfect for what I’ve been looking for.

So the collision are already setted ? Yeah! 😯😯😊😊
I work with MikuMikuDance, which is a 3D program to do videos since 2015 😯😯😊😊
Thank you for the tutorial!

How to unify the animation if I have toga and couple of ropes on it, but different materials with?
Use more then one shape per bone, but don't forget it supports only 6 bodyshapes.

Thank you so much
When I tried this on my character the collision doesn't work. The capsules go right through the skirt. Does anyone have the same problem?
I think this happens when you have too many collision shapes on a character
Does this work for hair too?

Mouse wheel to slow or speed up.
Brilliant!
Thanks! im really need this cuz my 3ds max apex cloth's data doesnt come correctly in 4.25....
Glad I could help!
There is no "clothing" tab
create clothing data from section i will create its not working some error are there ( failed to generate clothing sim mesh due to degenerate triangle )i will using iclone exported skinned character in this software. please help me.........!
If you type in that exact error in google there will be solutions. They will be in blender and be easy to perform
А нельзя ткани вес добавить, чтоб она не выглядела как что то очень легкое?
good job :D thx
is this workflow still good for UE5 or should I be doing something else?
Man, I wish the physics capsules matched the mesh size...the time wasted almost takes away the benefit of using cloth simulation.
Cloth simulation itself is quite performance heavy, and if it needs to simulate itself along a complex shape, it's gonna be even more heavy. Unreal can calculate a lot of advanced shapes from the meshes, but with that a few features stop working. It is a bit time consuming, but once you get a hang of it it's not that bad.

I would like to see more cross-simulation capabilities for ue. I think it is still inferior to other engines and plugins.
Pretty sure partial nudity is inevetable if anyone jumped like a defult character irl
Does it work for backpack and potions on belt?

@@mahkhardy8588 I gotcha my dude. If you could add me on discord I could send the video to you as soon as upload it.
@@mahkhardy8588 at first I thought maybe with some bones but that sounds so tedious

lol such a cursed model
