Hey I am trying to use Houdini to simulate clothes for a character I am going to be animating in Modo and had a couple questions regarding the process to go back and forth.

First If I import an OBJ of the character would I then attach the MDD of the animation and then attach the Cloth constraints in order for the clothes I introduce to react to an animated character?

If someone could explain to me the ideal way to import the animation from Modo and then calculate the dynamics of the clothes and send it back to Modo it would be a huge help! Thanks

I have currently imported an OBJ and attached an MDD of a test animation to it but I can't seem to actually get the mesh to move to test it against simulation so I am unsure of how to do this. If it is sent back to modo via MDD I do know how to use that though.

Thanks in advance for any help

Or an alternative Can I import an Alembic file and add dynamics to that? Or is that not going to work? Thanks!

KK NVM Solved … Didn't notice I could convert the Alembic import to Houdini geometry
