In this simple tutorial you are taken through how I add a newly modelled coat to my character. How I skin it certain joint and then update my animation file so i can later on simulate it with maya's native cloth solver. 

What You Get

You learn the absolute basic workflow for setting cloth into your animation scene. How you copy weights around to new geometry and how you do the settings for your first sim. You will learn how to shot sculpt and overall good simple practise for simulating something simple. 

Only for the absolut beginner

You will be able to approach your own shots and error check a simulation beucase you have learned how to approach the most common mistakes people do in cloth simulation.
