Absolutely! And to make it even easier, could you setup a quick sample project for me to set it up in? I’ll put a quick video together for you guys.

Thanks, exactly what would you want in this scene? A character and a skeletal mesh “clothing” model rigged appropriately for VICO? What else?

Does your plugin care about how a piece is weighted or does it only take the joint endpoints and convert them to particles? Is it possible to have a skeletal mesh that is weighted and only create particles for a selection of joints, and leave the remainder as constrained/deformed by their weighted joints? e.g. a garment like this:

This is certainly doable, but it needs to be implemented. It would essentially be per-poly collision which would certainly give the desired results! I don’t have this on my update schedule yet, so I cannot give you any ETAs. If you’re up for implementing this yourself, I’m more than happy to assist anywhere I can! In addition to this collision resolution there would also need to be a bit of logic to impart velocity of the colliding body onto the colliding particles which would refine the look/results during fast movement. I do have this feature on my schedule to be implemented.

I don’t think we have the programmer resources to actually implement this ourselves but if you’re willing to add this feature we would be happy to wait for it. There is simply no option for this anywhere so if you did build it into your plugin, you’d have a very useful advantage over your competitors
