Urgent help with reactor!!!

[kopykat]

Hi,
I used the search for an answer but no cigar. I need this urgently for work... I created a woman's body and i was planning on using reactor cloth to put a dress on her... anyway i modeled a dress over the body and im using reactor with cloth modifier to simulate real cloth over her body, i made the vertexes on her dress's straps (shoulder area) fixed so that the dress will always hang on that... the dress hangs beautifully over her body but the dress also penetrates her body! there is no collision detection between the dress and the body! plz help :(

Did you define the body as a rigid body object?

[kopykat]

yes, i added it to a rigid body.

I've found reactor to be rather wild...it's always sending my stuff flying off and crumpling around...I doubt that this will end up working out for you (but that doesn't mean it wont). You might try modelling only the fringes of the dress with reactor also. I'm not sure about the overlapping, reactor just seems so crazy that I haven't invested too much time trying to master the beast!

does anyone have any optimistic news? :(

I have no clue. I guess you could trying clothreyes.. but I think that's kind of expensive.

I believe that there's a freeware cloth plugin around somewhere...
