I'm working for some time with Poser now, but have never used the wind forcefield. But now I want to do a cloth simulation that definitely needs some wind, but it's not working at all. I tried several parameters, very high and low Amplitudes and Range factors, different spread angles, different turbulence-factors .... but nothing. The cloth simulation is always the same, there is completely no effect from the forcefield.

My understanding of this was, that I've nothing else to do, then placing the forcefield in the chosen location, select the direction and the parameters and then it should influence the cloth simulation .... but it doesn't!

Do I miss something?

Many thanks!

Did you set it as a collision object in the cloth simulation? Also the amplitude (strength of the wind) isn't very sensitive. You may need to turn it up more.

Yes, it's a collision object and I moved the amplitude up to max ..... Nothing.

I've now set up a new test scene with different cloth objects to test it out, and again nothing. I don't get it to work, the cloth simulation is not at all changed by the forcefield. Very weird!

It's Poser 13 on a Mac, btw. 

This appears to be broken on Mac. I've notified the developers.

Oh, thanks for checking this!

So I guess I will have to wait for one of the next updates to complete this scene .....

The problem is that the development team announced that there will not be any further updates to P13.  This may be addressed in P14.

I've understood this in the way that there won't be any feature updates any more for Poser 13 .... but maybe there will be updates for bugfixes .... we will see, maybe I'm lucky :-) 

The announcement said this "Barring any necessary service releases, this version likely marks the last of version 13 as the team turns their sights towards version 14 in the new year. " Which to me sounds like they may still fix bugs, but not add any new features. I could be wrong though.

Somehow I think that this shouldn't be too much work to fix .... we will see.
