Sorry Gérald, not been on the forum for weeks, but have been very busy using VWD with animations in DS. I haven't liked what I have seen of strand hair. I am happy with the results I have been getting with VWD on non-strand hair, apart from it being a bit "twitchy". For VWD development: I love the power of the program. I have used it for hair, multiple layers of clothing, and for objects (eg vacuum cleaner hose), but I am a scientist rather than an artist so I am more happy than most to wrestle with it! What I would love to have is a program which is more robust, and which is more informative when things do go wrong. I have found that I get better reliability by stripping the scene right down to the components which are essential for the VWD simulation, and then merging it back into the full scene later. I also have a habit of shutting down every other application on my PC that I can, and I reboot if things are failing.

Let me know if you are still looking for testers.

Many thanks.
