I'm tinkering with vellum and have a weird issue–when I use a plain grid as the cloth object and run it through a remesh, random points are/act as if they are pinned (they are given a @mass of 0), even though there is nothing set as pinned in the vellum constraint node.

I've emptied the cache, restarted, even tried a new grid with slightly a different initial subdivision count, and the result is the same–various points stay in space, pinned (although with differing initial geo point counts, the points that don't move are different).

A grid without remesh works fine. A planar patch actually works fine. I've tried various other objects, all run through remesh nodes (and without), and they all work fine. I could even assign those points a new mass through a wrangle, and that worked fine, but it seems like for something as basic as a remeshed grid, this shouldn't be happening.

What am I doing wrong here? Or is this just why god and SideFX made planar patches?

Hip file?

It sounds like you're doing something wrong.

It's the remesh node, it tends to create 0 area triangles which results in 0 mass for vellum if you let it compute mass

Here is how to fix such geo
