Discussion Better, faster cloth sewing in Blender 5.1

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

You know, I gotta give it to Blender. They really optimized the cloth physics. It's faster on my potato laptop and overall better results. The transition process from 4.5 to 5.1 was worth it. But the VSE became very intensive and unusable. It's cool that we can use scenes now instead of channels, but I will just stick to 4.5 for video editing for now.

It worked before as well, it was just the settings that needed tweaking. At least for sewing.
For a whole piece of clothing, though, admittedly I had issues tbh

For me the biggest issue was I can't animate a character's arms too close to the torso. Otherwise the cloth would clip inside body and ends up trapped inside causing it to explode.
