Garment_Maker-SuperClass:modifier; super-superclass:MAXWrapper -classID:#(940967468, 1610249612)

The Garment_Maker modifier turns a shape into a garment panel to be used in cloth simulations. It provides optimal meshing for achieving wrinkles and cloth-like behavior.

Constructor

Garment_Maker...
Garmentize2 ...

Properties

<Garment_Maker>.density Float default: 1.0 -- float

Get/Set the value of the "Density" spinner.

<Garment_Maker>.autoMesh BooleanClass default: true -- boolean

Get/Set the state of the "Auto mesh" checkbox. When true (default), the meshing is performed automatically. When false, the meshing is performed manually by either pressing the Mesh It button in the UI or by calling the gmakerOps.meshit() method documented below.

<Garment_Maker>.preserve BooleanClass default: true -- boolean

Get/Set the state of the "Preserve" checkbox.

<Garment_Maker>.relax BooleanClass default: false -- boolean

Get/Set the state of the "Relax" checkbox.

<Garment_Maker>.outputType Integer default: 0 -- integer; Output_Type

Get/Set the output type radio buttons state. Possible values are:

0 - Arranged Panels

1 - Preserved Surface

2 - Flat Panels

<Garment_Maker>.figure UndefinedClassdefault: undefined -- node

Get/Set the Figure object.

<Garment_Maker>.stretchMapping BooleanClass default: true -- boolean; Stretch_Mapping

Get/Set the state of the "Stretch Mapping Coordinates" checkbox.

<Garment_Maker>.striptexturescale Float default: 0.1 -- float; Stip_Texture_Scale

Get/Set the strip texture scale value.

<Garment_Maker>.stripwidth Float default: 0.5 -- float; Strip_Width

Get/Set the strip width value.

<Garment_Maker>.showMesh BooleanClass default: false -- boolean; Show_Mesh

Get/set whether to show the mesh.

<Garment_Maker>.showSeams BooleanClass default: true -- boolean; Show_Seams

Get/set whether to show the seams.
