Question

Can I use z-maya without z-weave?

Answer

It is possible. You can make cloth or avatar objects by Create Simulation Object menu item. In z-maya, both cloth or avatar are treated as cloth object. If cloth deforms by simulation, it is set DYNAMIC. If cloth does not deform, it is either STATIC or KINEMATIC depending on animation by Maya. In case you want to attach a pin to the cloth object, you can use Create Pin.

However it would be hard to design sophisticated clothes from 2D patterns and sew them in Maya. This is why we would recommend to use z-maya along with z-weave because they are specially useful to design garment.
