hi BB,

if you're on EST then we have a 6 hours difference, so when you get home I'm walking my dogs for the last round today. So relax, day jobs come first.

On resolution: the benefit gala in my animation reads about 15.000 vertices and 30.000 polies (sounds like triangulation), so your 10 / 20 / 40 mm options sound fine. For the sake of research, 5 and 80 can be added.

DAZ Arabesque dress is about 7500 vertices, the Jeanz from 3DWizard are 30.000 vertices (and still present issues at kneebends over 100 degrees angle).

We should keep in mind that if the outcome points at a serious favorite setup, we might have to consider scripts translating current meshes to desired setups, all features (from cloth groups to conforming/dynamic mixes) supported. That means to me that noising grid positions might not be the best idea, at least not at the boundaries and along the holes in the dynamic groups of the  clothing piece. But that's nothing more than thinking up load. Don't know.

See you tomorrow.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.
