Clothing Tool ? / APX format support / specs ? about nvcloth HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi Sheila,
NvCloth is not part of APEX. NvCloth is a library that provides low level access to the cloth solver. It was by design that serialization of assets is not handled by NvCloth.

You can write your own code to import cloth meshes. We provide helper functions to cook fabric data from triangle/quad meshes (see NvClothCookFabricFromMesh from the extensions). We recognize that this workflow is not ideal if you want to manually author more complex cloth assets.

There is currently no asset authoring/creation tool for NvCloth. We are in the process of deciding if we are going to provide something for this need.

Hi @Sheila69,

.apx files are only forward compatible, not backward and usually they aren't directly related to the APEX versions but rather if the asset version has been changed or not. Older asset versions will be automatically upgraded when loading in the newer version of APEX Clothing, for example. But the later versions of assets stored in .apx or .apb format won't be loaded in older APEX Clothing versions if the asset version has been updated since that time.
