Stands out in the superhive library for combining a cloth-simulation add-on with tutorials and a ready-made asset library in one package.
Clothes in Motion v2.0 packages a Blender add-on, a set of tutorials, and an asset library aimed at cloth design and simulation. The v1.0 package was built to break the limitations of cloth design and simulation in Blender, using techniques for detailed, dynamic clothing without third-party apps.
The add-on brings several functions for working with cloth in Blender. You can slap decals and objects such as zips, buttons, thread and pockets onto cloth simulations, slow down or speed up simulations after baking, and edit baked simulations in Sculpt Mode and Edit Mode, including animating hands into pockets with ShapeKeys. It also handles complex geometry clothes, wildvines, cables and wiring, cloth simulations on render farms, a click-and-drop female rigged character, and Quick Cloth and Quick Collision.
The library includes shoes, glasses rigged for fitting onto a character's face, sandals, pockets and buttons, a watch, and hats. Tutorials cover cloth modelling and simulation, adding detail and rendering, and fixing simulations.
Clothes In Motion is best for blender artists building and simulating detailed, dynamic clothing and accessories.
Clothes In Motion is completely free to download and use.
Clothes in Motion enables Sculpt Mode and Edit Mode after baking, so you can adjust simulations rather than leaving them fixed. This lets you fix simulations and, using ShapeKeys, go as far as animating hands into pockets. The add-on also lets you slow down and speed up cloth simulations after baking. Alongside editing, it can slap decals and objects such as zips, buttons, thread and pockets onto cloth simulations, and handle complex geometry including wildvines, cables and wiring.
Clothes in Motion includes a library of ready-made assets you can bring into your scenes. It provides shoes, glasses that are rigged to make fitting them onto a character's face easier, sandals, pockets and buttons, a watch, and hats including a cap, fedora and bucket hat. The add-on also offers a click-and-drop female rigged character from the library, along with Quick Cloth and Quick Collision functions.
Clothes in Motion is listed as free here in the catalog. Licensing terms can change over time, so check the developer's page from Xane Studios for the current details before you download. The package bundles the Blender add-on together with tutorials and the asset library, and a demo video is available on YouTube if you want to see more of what the package offers before deciding whether it fits your project.
Clothes in Motion comes with tutorials covering cloth modelling and simulation, adding detail and rendering, and fixing simulations, including a fix-sim example. The earlier v1.0 package also included over an hour of video, in 1280x800 MP4 format, teaching how to create detailed dynamics and dynamic outfits in Blender without third-party apps. That video is aimed at a beginner and intermediate skill level, so it suits artists who are still building their cloth simulation skills.
