Hello.

I just wandered in here on impulse but I'm happy I did.

I was one of those who had to give up on the old version of VWD because of crashes. I really appreciated the help I had from the VWD developer(s) and other forum members but I never got it to work with DAZ Studio. Then dForce appeared and I bought Marvelous Designer so you might think that I am all set up for cloth simulation. Well, not quite.

I find dForce so very, very slow and the fact that the cloth cannot be manipulated during the simulation is a huge drawback. MD is very fast and the cloth can be pulled around during the simulation but I tend not to use it because it is distracting to have to export and work in another software and thne import back again. Also, I have to export the posed figure and the cloth is not cloth any more after the import - it is just an OBJ file so I can't adjust anything.

Something that would be my ideal solution might be a faster dForce which is at least a plugin for DAZ Studio. I have an RTX 3090 GPU and quite a powerful CPU so I have the hardware. If my wishlist helps with your decision, I am happy too. I am writing this while waiting for a dForce simulation in the other window on my PC.
