Research and Development

The first step was building a rig to drive the cloth motion. Using Houdini's procedural workflow made the setup flexible and easily adaptable to changes in the overall silhouette. This allowed for quick adjustments to the form or the number of support structures when needed. The cloth mesh is generated directly from the silhouette, ensuring that any design modifications are automatically reflected in the final cloth geometry. Using Touchdesigner to get a sense of scale and to do a final check if clips would transition seamlessly into next clip was helpfull.
