Separated skeletal meshes interacting with each other's physics (separated cloth with character)

[SE_JonF]

@OwenWP

The anim dynamics are designed to be isolated like that, it is a big part of what makes them cheaper than using standard physics objects and why they exist. For this, you would need to add thighs to the physics asset of the cloth mesh.

The problem with that is it would need to be dynamic and move with the legs.

Instead of attaching it with sockets, you can skin the cloth like you would your character. What ever makes sense with your skin weights and collisions you want to achieve. You can save this as a separate skeletal mesh and use Set Master Pose Component.

According to what I read in the documentation Master Pose doesn’t work with physics which is what I’d need. I ended up just attaching it to the character in Maya, too complicated to attempt it through UE4 unfortunately.

Thank you both for your assistance. =)
