Simulating Sculpted clothing in Maya with nCloth - Part 5/8

In this tutorial series, I will be showing how to simulate rigged clothing, that have complex geometries, with an nCloth system in Autodesk Maya. The clothing have pre-existing folds that were designed in Pixologic Zbrush. This tutorial will be useful for you if you already have 3d modeled clothing with complex geometry that you want to be able to simulate without needing to reconstruct them from scratch in a cloth simulator like Marvelous Designer.
