I have fabric that needs to be attached to a metal ring. I tried importing OBJ of a metal ring as an Avatar and attached the fabric but couldn't move the metal ring with the fabric still attached to it.
How do I make the metal ring have weight and collide with my garments moving while remaining solid?
I tried importing the high poly OBJ mesh of the metal ring as garment and Marvelous Designer crashes.
Hi Westgate Jediah,
If you don't want to simulate your OBJ as cloth (not rigged), you would want to import it as Avatar.
In your case, there's two way you can handle this.
1. you can animate your ring in another 3D software package, and bring in your ring animation with the rest of your avatar as Alembic cache into Marvelous Designer.
2. Rig your ring with a single joint, import your Rig as FBX file into Marvelous Designer, and you can move that joint while simulating in Marvelous Designer and the cloth will follow. Please watch this Tutorial for more information on how to use Avatar Joints in Marvelous designer [LINK]
