FXGear Ships Qualoth for Maya
Qualoth is a production‐proven cloth simulator aimed for high quality cloth animation creation. Based on a sophisticated physical model and numerical algorithms, it produces realistic wrinkles and animation. The reliable collision handling mechanism and rich set of controls give users more time for creativity than trouble‐shooting problematic shots. Please visit our official website at http://www.qualoth.com for more information.
Features
Robust Collision Handling
Qualoth can detect and resolve collisions to fast‐moving objects, and the self‐collision can be resolved robustly even when the cloth is trapped between collision objects.
Reliable Multiple Layering
The reliable collision handling allows simulation of complicated multi‐layered garments animation. The performance of Qualoth is best shown when simulating characters in wild actions while dressed up with such garments.
2D/3D Cloth Creation
Qualoth provides the panel‐based garment creation method as well as 3D mesh‐based creation. The panel‐based creation allows multiple seams at a single curve, which enables creation of non‐manifold surface such as pleats. 3D mesh‐based creation provides options to imitate panel‐based creation method to get more cloth‐like material behavior.
Realistic Wrinkles
The material that Qualoth simulates is not a spring network. Its physical model is based‐on deep understanding of cloth material property that differs from rubbers and other elastic materials. The realistic wrinkles and motions of cloth simulated by Qualoth come from an advanced physical model and efficient numerical techniques.
Production‐Proven
Qualoth has been through a long period of beta test. It has been used in feature films, feature animations, and commercials worldwide. Its one of major customers is Dreamworks Animation SKG and it is using Qualoth for their animations such as Shrek 4.
Qualoth is available for Maya 8.5, 2008 and 2009 in Windows and Linux at http://qualoth.com/
About FXGear
FXGear is a visual effects studio founded in 2005, Korea. Since its foundation, FXGear has developed proprietary 3D softwares such as cloth, hair, water simulators, and many other animation tools. Qualoth is its first software product released in public, which has been being used by prominent animation productions and VFX studios worldwide.
