Geometry Import Issue
Posted in: NUKE from The FoundryI don’t know if my issue stem from Maya or Nuke but when I import geometry from Maya via a .obj file, the model has undergone weird changes in the process. I’m attaching a screen shot to show the differences. Am I not modeling this correctly in Maya or are my settings in Nuke incorrect?
It’s connecting the top of the model in a very strange way? I’ve posted 2 screen shot from Nuke. One with the poly’s showing and the other without to see the anomaly (it’s the white triangular area) more clearly. Can Nuke actually edit the geometry?
Thank you so much for any help.

I am making a dress with ncloth
I have read in a few places that a great method to get realistic cloth is to cut the dress patterns and then "sew" it together using constraints.
I have read in a few places that a great method to get realistic cloth is to cut the dress patterns and then "sew" it together using constraints.
I have modelled a simple front and back panel of a dress. I am using component on component nconstraints to link them together.
I was hoping to animate the strength of the constraints slowly in interactive mode to sew the seams
I have set my constraints to the weld method
My issue is that when I animate the strength or glue strength the constraints will snap at the higher values and not gently interpolate together as I intended
Anyone had any experience with this workflow?
thanks!
