All, Has anyone noticed that if you select your GPU for simulation its FAR more likely the cloth will explode than if you use your CPU? I have a GTX1080ti, and if I select it there's like a 70% chance it will explode, but if I do the exact same sim with my Ryzen (8 cores) it's fine. Not really a big deal, BTW, since VWD is so amazing at doing its sims. I still can't get over how smoothly and realistically the cloth sims work in VWD. Every where I go I'm telling folks how wonderful this is.

The GPU is different... I've seen the same. And, my defaults don't seem to stick to CPU, which I prefer for consistency. Because of the way the GPU breaks down the simulation, it makes some sense that the results might differ, but I can't tell you which one I'd use for which sorts of sims, and I can't test it yet with all the other tests I'm running. Anyone else have any advice or insight as to when they prefer CPU vs CPU?

Hey, I got pretty quite the past months. How's the development of the program going? Is everything on schedule?

We're getting close. I'm hammering on the docs and learning more about VWD than a person ought to be allowed to know :) There's a lot packed into this little beast. Gérald is trying to sneak one more hair feature under the wire, and finish various fixes/tweaks before the last beta - which we plan to toss out there to anyone who's interested. We'll let you know here, or when we add it to your VWD file-repos. Anyone else, let us know if you're interested.

hey guys--none of the clothing I am using is sticking to the models even when I nail to the collision, it just falls straight tot he floor.

CPU/GPU? - My simple tests seem to be working pretty well, but I'm not pushing the envelope in any direction right now. Assuming you load a scene, import a figure/collison, import a cloth/dynamic (using assistant?) and then ... static or dynamic sim?

thanks,
