I bought VF-basic and at a first glance I liked the program, easy to use, intuïtive, and with more possibilities than I expected. The lack of support for models like vicky, stephanie and the other Daz-characters was a downer, but what would expect from E-frontier? They will only support their own models. I did manage to make some cloths in a very short time. but the problems started when I tried so export them to poser 6.2
I followed the manual, and made a second runtime for the VF-folders, but at that moment Poser crashed, and everytime I started it again, it would crash after a minute or two. So I dumped the VF-runtime and Poser ran normal as always. That's the first issue!
With some workarounds I managed to get a VF-cloth in the clothroom. But when I tried to set-up a simulation, it took minutes to start, and in my experience, when a simulation doesn't start after 2 or 3 minutes, there's some serious wrong: There are too many facets or the cloth is somewhere colliding with the model or with itself.
I opened the obj-file of the cloth in UV-mapper but the number of facets wasn't that high, so there has to be something else wrong. What I also noticed in UV-mapper(pro), the model wasn't one object, but there several loose facets, which didn't belong to a group, Perhaps this is a result of the cutting-proces in VF, anyway it doesn't look rigth to me. That's the other issue.
I hope that E-frontier or VF-works will come with a solution to these problems or otherwise I have to use their 30 days refund policy.
