Well, I've run many dynamic sims for clothing before, so I'm not a novice to the procedure, however, this one has me frustrated. I have a dress on a character (dynamic), starting in the 0 pose position, and no collisions that I can tell. The full animation is 654 frames long, which is the length of the simulation I have set. The dress drapes fine, and the beginning of the simulation seems to work perfectly... until it hits frame 40 or so. Then the simulation just ends. It doesn't freeze up, it just stops calculating as if it had finished. I checked the simulation length, and as I mentioned, it's set to match the animation length. I've checked for collisions, and again, that seems fine. So what am I missing here? Sometimes it stops near frame 40, sometimes it continues as high as 144 or so, but that's about as far as I've been able to get. Is this a RAM issue? Never had problems running simulations before, but this one is a bit longer than any I've done so far. Computer specs: 2.4 gig P4 1 gig ram 200 gig HD (100 gig free space)
