In this tutorial you will learn how to create/change cloth. You will also learn how to use XStoryPlayer for storing cloth states.
Steps
- Copy the

The file contains the maya cloth meshes for the Saiko (Alien) character.
Open thebody.mafile in Maya. Also open the body.ini file in a text editor.

Then there is also a render-mesh that is used for rendering the cloth. It has a higher sub-division level for more detail.
The dress for example has bind-mesh "dressBindShape" and render-mesh "dressShape".
The render mesh needs to be positioned around the character so it does not intersect. - In this tutorial we want to change the shape of the dress a bit. We can use the bind-mesh for that.
Change the "dressBindShape" so it looks somewhat like this:
