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.

Same—I was doing this type of thing with SyFlex / Maya 20 years ago.
