I have tried everything to get the windforce to work on a square cloth and nothing, i have used all of the techniques used in these forums, so where am i going wrong or if someone can give it a try is this a fault with Poser 2012 sr3?

I have put a hi res square choreographed by the top edge in the scene then whilst selected added a windforce, set the winforce amplitude to values from 1 to 500 and range from 2 to 10000 and spread angle from 26 to 90 degrees, and the square is positioned  from close to the wind source to mid and distant inside the force cone.... im getting fed up with this now so can someone please help... oh and before someone says read the manual, i have and i would do better to contact the dead for an answer... its rubbish

What are the Cloth Simulation settings on the square?

i have tried everything on the simulation settings from being silk to leather, and reducing and increasing air damping, is there a way to tell the square to be effected by the wind force? as the square just dangles in the air after a simulation...

Do you have "Collisions" turned ON? :huh:

(i.e., collide against) <------------- ??? (in the Cloth Room)

shedofjoy, I have a tutorial at my homepage for the windforce. Maybe there you find some tip which you oversee before.

i tried collide against but nothing, also i tried turning dynamics on in the square properties, but nothing

thankyou laddona i shall give this a try. i have no idea why smith micro have not made the windforce more friendly, so far it is the only thing ive used in poser that has never in 10 years given me any results at all.....time for an update,lol

Believe me or not, I suffer with the Winforce tool for years, till desiderius my partner give me a smal hint what i did wrong all the years.

Maybe you have luck too.

If you have still problems, you can pm me anytime, maybe we find out what go wrong there :)

i just tried your tutorial with your settings and nothing, no wind reaction at all..... im starting to think that wind force in poser2012 sr3 is broken

thankyou ladonna, im not sure where to go from here?

DAMN.. it works with ease in poser 8 but will not under any cicumstances run in poser 2012 sr3...... Looks like i found a bug.....

cant believe how easy it was in P8

Hm, you have maybe some screen shot where you put your windforce tool?

I can not test by my own now, because I have a render on my poser running.

:)  Great, and now I go to mantis and write a bug report . 

I will give it a try too as soon my Poser is finish to render but when you say in P8 it works in P2012 not, than I guess it is a bug.

it would be nice if i can get others to try windforce in poser 2012 sr3 to see if the results are conclusive.

Yes, I will try out as soon my render is done. Maybe others can try out too?

The tut I wrote was done in PP2012 but before SR3 came out. 

I already reported it in Mantis

It indeed looks like a bug in sr3. It works in sr2.1

Thanks. I will make a note too.

I think you found a bug. The image above was before sr3 and the one below is the same pz3 file calculaed with sr3. Click to enlarge.

in a way woop woop i found a bug but more booo i found a bug,lol... oh and who is mantis and how do i also go about reporting this bug to him?
