Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Rigging cape

Hi everyone

So I'm working on a character who has a cape. Not sure which route to take....rig vs ncloth? Which one works better for animation and why?

Both are required,
You should rig the cape to allow animation to pose it as required and then cloth simulation is done on top of this using the rigged result cape as a goal mesh for its simulation.
