Bug / Crash Error message on TearableClothRenderer during tearing the cloth

[josemendez]

So it happens on a particular cloth I've created out of a skirt model.
The cloth doesn't tear appropriately, and it throws an ArgumentOutOfRangeException. 
Tearing works fine on other meshes I've tried tho.

The error message shows as follows.

"ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

Parameter name: index

Please advice how should I debug this, thx.

Hi there,

Since this only happens with a specific mesh, chances are your mesh is non-manifold. Non-manifoldness is not supported as described in the manual:
http://obi.virtualmethodstudio.com/manua...setup.html

Make sure there are no malformations in your mesh. Most modeling packages have functions to automatically detect and fix non-manifold structures (edges shared by more than 2 edges, isolated vertices, zero-area faces, etc).

If you're unsure about this, you can send your mesh to support(at)virtualmethodstudio.com for me to take a look at it.

kind regards,
