This is kind of a double question post.
Anyone can guide me to a good introduction cloth tutorial?
I have been trying to find something without much success, except for an old cloth masterclass on houdini 12.
Which I understand may be a bit dated since the changes on H15 right? Any help will be appreciated.
Which takes me to my second question/request?
Is it time for a new cloth master class?

Hello Nicolas.
CMIVFX has a tutorial about Houdini cloth system also FXPHD and Plural Sight have.
Houdini cloth system compare with others such as Maya has lower speed although it become better release after release But still it needs to be better.
I saw lots of tutorials about Houdini cloth system but still I have problem with speed of simulation and time forces me to use Maya.
I think we need tutorial about how to speed up cloth simulation in Houdini whether it is master class or commercial tutorial.

Cloth isn't dead, it's just resting

Hi,
I just really need some basic collision that behaves a bit like a cloth…so even a FEM sim will do for me. I just thought in using the occasion to learn about cloths in houdini.
Thanks for the links to the tutorials and the funny video . They will do just fine, I haven't found anything in PluralSight yet, so I guess that indeed the material is pretty old and needs a revisit at somepoint.

By storing seam information in attributes before the refinement step, you are able to change the amount of panel refinement without having to respecify the seams. Because of the way Houdini automatically interpolates attributes, points added along the seams because of the refinement will become part of the seam.

I've been following this thread and I don't understand girlsmagzine ?
