Applying morph targets to a mesh that has chaos cloth simulation

Hello Epic,

I was wondering if cloth simulation can work together with morph targets.

For example, let’s say we have a Cloth Mesh, a Jacket, I paint the bottom part to be simulated and the top part to not be simulated, if there are morph targets for the top part (shoulders) are they going to be applied to the cloth mesh? I would like to know if it is possible to have both at the same time.

Thanks!

Hey there,

Unfortunately, they cannot work together on the same mesh. The cloth simulation relies on a preskinned/alternate mesh that knows nothing about the morph targets.

One workaround you could try would be to have the cloth section of the single mesh be a separate material section. This would move that mesh section into a submesh.
