sanostol Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The new clothsolver has a additional input for solvers. I tried a sopsolver , but it did not work. I looked through the various examples but none had this additional solver input used any hints? Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notawhale Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Same question about Cloth Solver. Cloth Solver hasn't Enable Tearing parameter. Is it bug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpz Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 hmm, i can't get the 'enabletearing' attribute working here. not as sop-created attribute and not with the help of a dop created multi-solver setup(cloth-/sop-solver). did the attribute name change? i cant find any 12.5 related documentation either. a little help would be much appreciated. =] cheers, -chris.

bloomendale Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 i'm afraid there is no tearing in latest solver (yet?). topics like "Creating other cloth effects" in 12.1 manual (http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini12.1/cloth/creating_other_cloth_effects) has gone in 12.5 and in 12.1 there were some dedicated options for plastic deformations but now should we just use high stiffness-dumping, strong bending etc?

anim Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 it's very disappointing to see different cloth implementation in each Houdini, constantly changing the features and workflows in hope to get the best possible solution for VFX in terms of flexibility and speed on one hand it seems to get better each time (subjectively of course), on other hand missing features we are used to can be very frustrating especially if there is no technical reason for them to not be included so tearing, plastic hardening and promissed feedback checkbox seem to be magically missing in 12.5 let's give SESI time to get it right, it seems like they've just sent something out which wasn't fully finished to the original question it seems that the second input is for Geometry Copy DOP only (not sure yet what purpose it has), if you need to use SOP Solver DOP just use it the standard way with Multisolver DOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Just in case this slipped by, all the properties have been re-introduced on to the Cloth Object and Capabilities has been returned to the Cloth Solver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
