Hello to all folk here! If there is any users of VWD Cloth and Hair dynamic plugin for DAZ Studio, I need some help and advice. When this plugin was issued first time in the first public ready version, I downloaded and tried it in DAZ Studio 4.8 Beta with the early version of DAZ Studio Bridge. I cannot recall the number of that VWD version, but it was the first release, available on all warez sites. It had some bugs and crashes, but within itself the program worked nice in general and I liked it very much. Since then I upgraded my DS to 4.9 Beta, and then I found here a new version of VWD - VWDClothAndHair V1.1.502.3552 and new DAZ Studio bridge, which is listed as compatible with all versions of Studio starting from V4.8.0.59 and all VWD from V1.0.408.2976 upward. I tested them in DS and found that the new VWD has many UI improvements and crashes not so often but the process of making dynamic cloth became much worse to my opinion. At first, I discovered that when doing dynamic simulation (not static) even with simple clothes like T-Shirts, clothes are distorted badly in the final pose and have pokethroughs (not colliding with the body of the human). Then the program ceased playing dynamic animations of characters from DAZ timeline at all (it does not see the animation from frame 0 to 30 and simulates only frame 0, as in static simulations). So now it is useless. The old version of VWD never behaved like this. If anyone here used the very version and DS 4.9 - do you ever have the same problems? It's the latest version so far and reported as improved much, so why so troublesome? Maybe I have the lite or demo version, not full (I downloaded it here from the blog)? I feel I have to return to my old version, although I don't know how it will behave in the newer DS too. So if anyone here has any VWD version before V1.1.502.3552, one of lately released updated versions since the first one, and it's full and working well, please share it in the blog or in PM. If you have the version V1.1.502.3552 from any other source and it works nice for you too in newer versions of DS, please share it too, and write a couple of words how to get decent result from this program in DAZ Studio. What did you do, bumping against similar problems? Maybe the author changed something in the code and so working with vertices and setting up the cloth requires some additional actions now. I feel the matter is in the plugin itself, more than in the DS Bridge. I cannot write to the author, because my VWD is purchased illegally, as you understand it by themselves, so I hope for help from other dwellers of this site. Thank you in advance for any help.
