"1. Fold Resistance-

This parameter goes from zero to 100; it determines how 'stiff' the cloth is- as you'd expect from its title, the higher the fold resistance, the less the cloth can bend when it contacts an object. In conjunction with the other parameters this can help define how thick the cloth appears to be."

So, 100 is cardboard? and 1 is silk? Where is cotton? Denim? Polyester-nylon? I'm looking at the Smith Micro tutorial. That's all you got for Fold Resistance. I guess it is a "training issue" and I'm difficult to train. "2. Shear Resistance-

Shear resistance has a range of 1 to 1000; it defines how much the cloth tends to retain its shape as it folds. This differs from fold resistance; the shear resistance of a fabric determines how much or little it deforms when actually folding."

So, Fold Resistance has a range of 1 to 100 and Shear Resistance has a range of 1 to 1000. Wonder why the difference in ranges? And then, the difference between the two is baffling me no end: in the first instance, the cloth's ability to bend, in the second, the cloth's ability to deform while bending. Oooookay? I guess I'm thick and need an illustration.

Stretch Resistance range is 1 to 500 and stretch damping range is 0 to 1. Which bright mind came up with this concept? There is no way to consistently associate a characteristic with a material, is there? 1-100, 1-1000, 1-500, 0-1. Perhaps I'm being difficult, but wouldn't it have been easier for the neophyte dynamic wannabe to make these ranges consistent? I guess this was designed by physicists for physicists...
