Numerion Carbon 3.0.1 for Maya

Numerion Carbon for Maya is a modern, high-performance cloth simulation plugin designed for Autodesk Maya. It is a dynamic solver optimized for speed and stability, focusing primarily on cloth simulation with high collision accuracy and a powerful caching system that allows freedom of processing without geometry caching. The plugin supports a variety of garment design options, including importing patterns from tools such as Marvelous Designer and Clo3D. It also features advanced physical modeling features such as timeline-independent direct simulation, support for anisotropic fabric properties, and the ability to handle complex solids and collisions.

Features of Numerion Carbon for Maya

• Narrow collision filtering enables fast and selective collision mesh filtering, improving performance and sewing workflow.
• Separates self-collision fabric thickness from actual fabric thickness, allowing fine control over collision behavior.
• Import fabric samples from tools like Marvelous Designer and Clo3D with full support for woven and sewn fabrics.
• Physical modeling includes direct, timeline-independent simulation, rigid body support, and static mode switching (freezing objects while maintaining collisions).
• Advanced collision system supports edge-based collisions to simulate mesh, hair, ropes, and other detailed intersections.
• Caching system allows for free simulation cleanup without geometry caching.
• Visual tools provide clear visualization of fabric, collision thickness, and speed up simulations.
• Corner plasticity parameters to simulate the plastic deformation properties of real fabrics.
• Simulation dependencies to create complex interactions.
• Garment processor simplifies setup and speeds up processing of complex clothing assets Complex.
• Support for anisotropic cloth properties and fast deformers that map dense render meshes to simulation meshes.
• Physical level of detail (LOD) for low-resolution iterative simulations, driving highly detailed simulations.
