	6 Creating Cloth Creating a garment Modeling the character Understanding solver scale Posing the character Building a pattern for the garment Creating curves Duplicating curves Grouping curves Positioning curves Creating panels What if you get error messages? Seaming the garment Creating the initial garment Seaming the panels Tailoring with darts Adjusting the garment Changing the shape of a panel Moving the garment Setting resolution Adjusting the seams Creasing seams Rounding seams Modeling subassemblies Setting display options Creating cloth objects Differences between a garment and a cloth object 7 Draping & Fitting Creating cloth collision objects Removing collision objects Adjusting the collision object Controlling pinched cloth Simulating cloth What happens when cloth solves? Using the cloth solver Playing through the time slider Starting a local simulation Modifying the panel after simulating Saving initial state of the cloth Adjusting the cloth solver Controlling cloth motion Setting frame samples and time step size Scaling the solver Working with cloth properties Using the material library Manipulating your cloth Manually moving cloth points Using the Drag control Fixing interpenetration problems 8 Animating Cloth Creating the animation start pose Using constraints Constraining points or curves Creating transform constraints Creating mesh constraints Creating cloth constraints Creating button constraints Creating collision constraints Tips for displaying and picking constraints Editing the point assigner Editing the curve assigner Connecting dynamic fields to your cloth 9 Playing Back Cloth Simulations Managing cache files Creating a cache Deleting and truncating the cache Compressing the cache Saving and loading cache files Speeding up playback Disabling/enabling the solver Disabling cloth collisions Fixing playback problems Using cloth with very fast motion 10 Adding Texture & Shaders Positioning a texture map Adjusting texture coordinates Using patterns Using double-sided shaders 11 Managing Cloth Scenes Exporting and importing garments Resetting initial position Using multiple solvers in a scene Creating multiple solvers Selecting the solver Editing multiple solvers Turning multiple solvers on or off Transferring garments between solvers Deleting cache with multiple solvers Using collision objects with multiple solvers Simulating cloth in batch or prompt mode Rendering with Maya Cloth View A Maya Cloth Cache Format Compressed caches Header format Body format Index
