Hi all. Plenty of excellent ideas. (I'm no stranger to soft dynamic on parametric figures). The attention to crucial details and innovative thinking are evident (hide node and nailing options are just great!). VWD and the bridges are in good hands indeed!

Few cool ideas I concur with: pause-resume, pose-to-morphdial button, sphere field fall-off, pinch&fold, wire shaded. The idea for an option to temporarily cache sessions: yes too, nice to be able to store (say up to 3) simulation iterations would be cool (with mini buttons iter1/2/3 or drop down perhaps).

A "glaring" issue: the blindingly bright viewport background makes working on main objects extremely straining on the eyes, esp the shocking contrasty jumps between VWD and DS/Poser/Carrara's darker style visual themes preferred by intermediate users. Please allow at least grey scale customization of background color.

Viewport and workflow fine-tuning is crucial indeed (very grateful that it's been acknowledged). :) So yes to visual guides hide/show (one button each will do).

Workflow between VWD and host app mouse behavior synchronization in particular:

Having to sim in a new window often means losing familiar click-saver 3D mouse, and I'm further discouraged by the need to CONSTANTLY JUMP between native mouse language vs plugin's right mouse sticky background to orbit. Please take note that all **3 apps here Poser, Daz Studio, Carrara speak the common language of LEFT click sticky on a in-viewport Gizmo. ** I suggest, at the least, if VWD cannot auto-detect host app mouse settings/preference, at least provide a user custom option for left/ right click sticky on background. May seem like a small issue, but it adds up fast!

Other ways to retain the FLOW back and forth VWD-host-app: LAMH way of incorporating Daz Studio style in viewport navigation gizmos, including the crucial 'Roll Cam cube' and Center and Frame selected button. Reset camera, and esp 6 direction cam (one cycle-toggle hotkey/button will do) always help object-oriented workflow. Carrara has a lasso zoom to selected area option I recall, another way to quickly intuitively auto-center selected object area.

Importing pre-assigned groups from host apps: VWD has nice vertex selection tools, great for Poser users, and definitely for spontaneous selection. From experience, clothing parts correlate frequently with both surface groupings and face (joint) grouping. Poser already has that option for Morph brush (by mat group) for that reason. Daz Studio has excellent poly selection tools and multiple unused groups so would be nice to harness that too. Perhaps add select pre-assigned Vertices option - from DS Selection Subsets/ Surface groups/ Face groups. Carrara also has vertex groups/ shader domains.

Basically my perspective is the more integrated a plugin is with the host app, the more user-friendly and easier entry, and the better take-up rate.

Thanks for giving your precious to listen to my requests and good luck to all for this creative and charming project!
