I am having issues with apex in Maya. I am trying to use the latch to nearest tool and what it does is latch the cloth to the character model and not the other side of the cloth. I wanted to know if anybody could help me with this since there are no tutorials online that help me and i am hoping that somebody knows how to use apex in Maya.
Hi Aeson,
Answering Maya questions of this sort is beyond of the scope of the support we can offer. I did find at least one tutorial related to the Latch to Nearest feature, although I cannot say whether it addresses your issue specifically or not:
You may wish to try posting your question on a Maya specific forum:
If you have any specific issues regarding the implementation of Apex cloth with Rocket, please let us know.
Cheers,
Thank you so much for the help.
For anyone else stumbling on this, the PhysX 3.0.2 plugin for Maya does not have a functional latch/drive tool (as of April 29, 2015). Revert back to 3.0.1 and it works. Unfortunately, Maya 2015 is not supported with that version though. 3.0.2 needs a bug fix for latching.
Also make sure you have one side set to “drive” and one to “latch”, or however you want it set. I haven’t seen it work with only using the “latch” functionality. It needs verts set to drive them as well.
