Use Marvelous Designer Cloth Sim with Vellum in Houdini

Recommended Posts

Helle there.

I have a Sim from marvelous designer (Body and Cloth) and want to play around with vellum a bit. After importing/unpacking the alembic i

separat it in two groups (cloth/body) and attach a vellum cloth node. The moment i attach it houdini always crashes so i guess it´s not the

correct workflow... do i have to bring in body and cloth on my own and do the simulation/rigging in houdini?

take care

I'd have a guess and say that the alembic geo is pretty high res and so when you attach the Configure Cloth, Houdini is having a hard time calculating all the constraints and setting all the attributes and crashes. 
You'd be better off using a Split SOP, splitting by the groups you created. Then remesh the cloth so that it's not too dense, then append a Configure Cloth and do your sim. 
Then you can point deform the original high res mesh with that sim mesh.

you can use "polyreduce" node to decrease primitives number in your objects
