"JOHN CARSTARPHEN: Hi, this is John Carstarphen for Expert Village. Now, down here we can select ignore head, hand or feet collisions. And we're going to select ignoring the head collisions, ignore the hand collisions, and we're going to select all three of those and then click OK. At that point, we go to Simulation Settings window and we're going to calculate the drape. And now, here we have the dress draped across the figure. And you can see that the folds are beginning to appear and the dress is nicely modeled around the figure. Now, the only thing left to do is to calculate the entire simulation and what will happen when we press the Calculate Simulation button is that the animation will move forward and as it's moving forward, the calculate--the dress calculation will begin and go through its calculation one frame at a time. And so, here we have our simulation now and we'll just play it forward and you can see that the simulation woks quite nicely."
