Have there been any other people out there writing tutorials for this amazing plugin? I am finding it rather difficult to get it working properly. Question; can you only simulate one item at a time? I tried to simulate a very simple loin cloth and hair but after setting up the loin cloth, I could no longer add the hair to the simulation. I only create still images; do I actually need to do a 30 odd frame animation or can I just do the simulation on the posed figure and get the hair/clothing to drape properly? When I follow the pdf's tutorial and start with a static simulation, I can't go on to do a dynamic simulation; why? Not meaning to offend, but the manual is quite difficult to follow and really needs to be reorganised in such a way so as to explain each button whilst working through examples. Reading 20 plus pages of what each button does is mind-numbing. I was a high school teacher for 25 years (in Australia, so I do write in English; not American) and I would be happy to offer my services to help you (VirtualWorldDynamics) create a more user-friendly guide (ditto for tutorial subtitles). Obviously, my "ulterior-motive" is that I would learn the plugin through and through (ie. thoroughly; not sure whether "through and through" is a colloquialism or not). In the meantime; anyone able to answer my questions? Yeah, I know they're kinda vague, but it's after midnight and I've read half the manual and half this thread. I'm tired.
