I like to build setups that are immediate, so I usually avoid simulation venues as they bring a processing overhead and visualization restriction (you have to build up from frame 0/1), but this time I couldn't escape and I'm struggling to have to artistic direction with Syflex. So you have a reference of what I have in hands and accomplished so far: https://gfycat.com/WearyHappygoluckyAnole
Issues: - I need to something like silk under water. I'm struggling to get the right mesh density/parameters/setup/forces for this and it seems whenever I change Syflex to something it's closer to it I bring it to a halt. - It's not clear to me the best way to blend between deformers and cloth so everything before the Syflex ICE operator can drive the sim but also be changed by it: a) I tried Mimic to another mesh, but although I could even animate the weight map to have a transition the interpretation of the weight map values is too abrupt: I can only get some transition effect between around .01 and down, otherwise it will Mimic completely. b) I went with Pin instead but the weight map in this one doesn't even work. So it's just the cluster which is also quit abrupt but I like more the simulation in this one of the unaffected parts. If there's no simulation stack can use the object it"self" to as Pin input. Simulated ICE tree also seems quite slower. I've read some threads but nothing conclusive, especially because it's a subject that requires lootttss of testing. So thank you for any insight.
