Hello

To add about what Ashfire said:

• about the price: it is the right balance between the price and what people can do with it (also what is their goal) . VWD is not so high for me because I know what I can do with it and nothing is impossible : imagination is the only limit! I could have paid more now :-). VWD is more quick, easy, robust, complete than any other solution I ever tested and I think I tested some : clothe room, optitex in DS4, wrinkle , Marvelous Designer for simulating existing objects (I don't talk about modeling), ....

The main trouble may be is that dynamic simulation is not a one click solution and people prefer to have conforming clothes. It has been a long discussion since the clothe room appeared in Poser. Another point: I was surprised that some people who are interested don't see the differences between VWD and other solutions. For example the most important feature for me : the possibility to drag vertices. Even if you made videos!

Perhaps a more basic VWD version with fewer parameters and less expensive could be a solution. Basic scenario could be adressed without making people afraid. This version could be accompanied with small tutorials (not only video) adressing the basic cases: a basic simu, converting a clothe made for one character to another, chains, curtains,... If people become more confident they could upgrade to a more complex one and have access to the full parameters. Don't know if it possible : no parameters at all ! only selecting the vertices (collision, fixed,...) and then simu and drag of vertices to adjust ! The manual would be short :-) !

• About protection: if I must choose between protection and no evolution of the tool because you can no more invest in VWD, My choice is simple: Protection!!

English is not my first langage so not sure to be clear. But pleeeeeeeaaase: WE NEED VWD (AND THE BRIDGES TOO!!!) .

VWD was a major step for me to make better pictures.
