Cape for heroes1.0

We encountered a problem when we were animating shot 19, the problem was the cape which the kid uses. in the animatic he uses the bedsheets to rap around his neck, and its a red sheet. but when i was texturing the bed i came up with this design using some of Andrew's art work. its far from what we had come up with in the earlier stages of the project but we all felt like it was a good improvement and that it added more character to the kids room. here is a pic



as you can see, this would look rather odd rapped around his neck like a cape, so i thought that we could solve this problem by simply adding something else to the bed, like a towel or a robe.

this is what i did to get things back on track before rendering could start.



i made this by creating a polygon plane, adding nCloth to it, adding the already existing solves and nucleus, extruding the faces up a little to add thickness, and smoothing it out. i then played it in the timeline for it to start the animation, when i was happy with the position in duplicated it, and deleted the original mesh. this gave me a clean geometry and it wouldnt interact anymore. its only really for show anyway.

here is what it looks like on the bed
