Anyone care to share their thoughts on cloth in Houdini?

Anyone using the syflex plugin? How does it compare to MAYA's implementation?

I haven't looked at the syflex plugin since 2004-2005 so i'm sure it has improved… hopefully it is more houdini like in its deployment.

thanks

I don't think there have been any significant syflex changes since then, and a reliable source informs me compatablility with recent versions of houdini is a bit dodgy.

I have been doing some work with the dops cloth in h9 recently (thats how I found your post), and it seems pretty good, once you get used to it. It is not yet as powerful and robust as ILM's cloth system (circa 2003), but it is getting there.

thanks den.
