zoki Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I was playing with H9 cloth and quite like it now. I think it is faster, got some tips in houdini on the spot book and general in dynamics dvd almost certainly it is slower than syflex but I find it more flexible /robust z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peship Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Syflex is good for digital doubles. It's fast, accurate and stable. It's not that good for full blown CG characters. They usually have multiple layers of cloth, but Syflex does not solve cloth to cloth collisions. To claim that H Cloth is faster than Syflex is ridiculous. Syflex for Houdini is actually the very first version of the cloth system. It lacks many useful features from the latest releases - like the magnet constraint, that gives nice directability during simulation time. H Cloth solves cloth to cloth, so if you have to deal with layers of cloth go for it. It is slow and lacks flexible constraints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 To claim that H Cloth is faster than Syflex is ridiculous. I thought Zoki was comparing H9 cloth to H8 cloth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peship Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 I thought Zoki was comparing H9 cloth to H8 cloth? Oy, i see now. You are right. Taking back my "ridiculous" words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
