Hya, sometimes I have a cloth that settles down for a minute then goes shooting off into hyperspace. At first I thought it was because there was too much poke through with the collision target.

But that doesn't seem to be the case with this one. I'm pretty sure I have self collision off.

I wonder what steps I should look at to fix it - thanks in advance.

oh the cloth had an inner lining which I made invisible - but still same problem.

Hello, could you give the name of the cloth on which you have this issue. Some clothes and many hair have some inner parts that create a very dynamic movement at the beginning of the simulation or a unwanted stress. Dynamic clothes never have these errors. To correct this issue, the best way is to :

• Make a first static simulation without the inertia. This simulation will repel the "bad" vertices outside the collision actor.
• Press on the "Send pose to Host".
• Rename the "_VWD" dynamic element. "Object_VWD" to "Object_NEW" for example.
• Make a second dynamic simulation using your previous settings.

I hope this will help you to resolve your issue.

Thanks for that advice! One of them was a simple dress I made myself with creases and folds. I'll check what the other was.

Cheers :)

I recall having the same problem with MMD Hair models converted to OBJ. Increasing collision distance might do the trick.

Hello dzonatan, your problem is now resolved? If you want, you can tell me a model on which you have an issue. I could make some tests and then, give you my settings.

Here's the hair OBJ https://ufile.io/5ywv9

DO NOTE that it's a MMD ripped model that you have to manually adjust in order to align it properly.

Personally I use it on Genesis with modified AIko Shapes for anime look.

I get the best result with the following:

Collision Object:

Collission distance 0.2

default friction

no subdivide

Hair Object:

Stretch 0.01

Softness 0.01

Self method By Normals

use extension

extension count 6~8 (depending on how dense the mesh is or if I bothered to decimate it)

softness 0.01

use neighbourhood

distance 0.5

softness 0.01

After presing Show Hair verices I go:

Selection Distance 0.5

Softness 0.01

Self colission by extension

and perhaps rigidify/inflate if it looks like a flat tire.

The results are so so but I'd like to have the hair behave like it does in these videos

If you can achieve it then that would be grand!

I made two tests.

The first one will be too smooth for you because the hair almost behave like real hair. The second one seems correct but I don't know if this corresponds to your wish. My settings are not so different as yours.

I send a link to two videos and two RIP files that correspond to the simulations. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9c39Rz2Ec-JWG9ELTBKS0JESUU

Could you send the results you had by using your settings?

Really like the second result although it could be just a little bit more stiff. Still it's much better compared to what I was to create.

How do you handle those RIP files?

EDIT: nevermind I found the Recorded Imports folder.

I'll now do two tests with my settings and yours and see which place I could make it better.
