Getting Started with MPM Cloth in Bifrost

[@andvfx]

Great! we need more bifrost tutorials!

[@lordgains3317]

This is the greatest Maya YT Channel ever!

[@AakashKalaria]

sadly yes.

[@cinegraphis______ecoledesm4799]

My best trainer ever ! I've been missing u so long. Thanks !

[@Create3dcharacters]

Really nice stuff, great work guys!

[@losimple]

Bifrost tutorials at last !

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

I using Motion library and Mixamo... :)

[@AyushBakshi]

now , how to make that cloth follow a curve?

[@AmitKumar-te6vw]

Haven't seen a Bifrost extension tutorial in 5 months.

[@Autodesk_Maya]

Check the main channel page. We’ve had some guest videos on Bifrost recently while I work on another project.

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

If I want to select more objects than 1 object, I using select box. It's more faster than I select one by one. :) Thank you... 🙏🙏🙏

[@utubeparpankaj]

Nice one,do more videos on aero especially on explosion and production quality stuff not just for the sake of demo or tutorial s. Keep it up.Good one.

[@newartz3945]

how do you do that colored ball in the first 5 seconds of the video? the cloth which builds up to a sphere

[@chintuchintuchintu5992]

Can we use Maya mpm cloth for face for making facial expressions more better.

[@danieldutch8621]

Thank you. Fascinating stuff. What about having cloth simultaneously interacting with rigid and softbodies, but under water. Or cloth floating on water and being picked out by a rigged character. Can Bifrost handle that? That's arguably more interesting and practical that seeing another 'piece of cloth descends on object' or 'flag blowing in the wind' demonstration.

[@Autodesk_Maya]

You can definitely do both these things. The former is merely collisions, which I show in this video (notice the "catapult" example at 0:26). For two way collisions though (having the cloth affect the bodies), you'll need to use another MPM simulation (like particles, snow, sand, etc). The latter is also possible, but requires a bit more physics knowledge than simply creating some water and placing a cloth on it. To float on water, the cloth would have to sit on a very dense set of MPM particles acting like water. Then to make the cloth look drenched after it's picked up, you'd need to animate its mass increasing (since that's why a real cloth looks that way - it picks up water molecules making it heavier).

[@danieldutch8621]

@@Autodesk_Maya Thank you for the reply. While a lot more involved, it's good to know that it should be possible. A photorealistic fur-clad character wading into and out of a stream, for example, would be the ultimate such test. I hope Bifrost will continue to evolve and become more artist-friendly, as right now it's still way too dependent on low-level knowledge only those with coding/tech experience possess. I hope this channel will continue to pursue that goal. Many thanks!

[@SebDJ]

Where is the follow up video that was mentioned?

[@yaroslavkostin5603]

Can bifrost sew two objects like marvelous designer?

[@dubscope2246]

yeah another cloth system ... how abput this old hypershade and shading system?

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

Try to make video,. how to make Autodesk Maya.Tuscany Splash Screen. Like ice or green water. :)

[@5jay540]

i am guessing there is a way to bake the simulation into animation in the next video?

[@Autodesk_Maya]

That's actually a super easy thing to do. You can convert the bifrost mesh to a normal Maya mesh using this workflow: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmeopntrpMR2q7M (start at 3:09) Except, rather than plugging and then immediately unplugging from the bifrostGeoToMaya node, leave it plugged in then Alembic Cache the resulting mesh. Then that's it, you'll have baked animation on a mesh!

[@5jay540]

@@Autodesk_Maya okay thanks ill try that

[@ivant8582]

Ncloth is faster, and other than graphing, I'm not seeing anything new, and as a matter of fact, you could use the bifrost graph for ncCoth/Nucleus as well.

[@williamsli3745]

Yeah, I feel this bifrost stuff is much slower than Ncloth, much more slower when turndown detail size....

[@nictanghe98]

all i get is a verry slow falling plane that doesnt bend even if i add turbulence

[@Xaia]

I guess i will stay with marvelous designer for now. Sim speed and quality in bifrost is like in md 10 years ago. Wake me up once this is at lest on pair with current marvelous designer.

[@cinegraphis______ecoledesm4799]

all though i like this teacher, the bifrost cluth simulation is not that yet.

[@Xaia]

@@cinegraphis______ecoledesm4799 oh yeah, content here is top notch.

[@incrediblesarath]

wow

[@nictanghe98]

I try and try but no geometry is created.

[@nictanghe98]

or it is and only sags 4 one frame or other stuf maybe show setup or make it so the program doesnt give diferent results on diferant machines or whatever

[@nictanghe98]

also it just stretches to infinaty. I`m sterting to think the bifrost tutorials are all cg.

[@nictanghe98]

none of the things that go eazaly in the video work that way.

[@nictanghe98]

Ok so dont use the scene to meters in functionality ever in maya i guess ?

[@driftwood-f4p]

Maya continues to provide incomplete and never-used features

[@seencapone]

"MPM Cloth is much more accurate than other simulations" while showing the falling cloth penetrating right through the collider object LOL Oh, Maya....

[@keltart809]

mpm cloth is unbearably slow top setup in 2020.3 hopefully its much faster in 2020.4

[@henry74930]

First

[@kinggore5229]

Bifrost MPM cloth is just too damn awful... Far behind of Blender. Very disappointed with Maya recent years. Autodesk guys are too lazy...
