Chaos Cloth: NaNs can be introduced from bad AnimatedPositions/Normals

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Aug 17, 2024

We've worked out at least a possible way this can occur from using uninitialized AnimatedNormals values when changing LODs. Ensuring all AnimatedNormals are initialized appears to fix the problem. ...

Chaos Cloth - Visualization materials cause async load flush and slows down starting a PIE session.

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Aug 13, 2024

The loading of the cloth visualization materials disturbs async loads shortly after starting PIE which causes an async flush and several seconds stall. The solution would be to move these to a sing ...

Cloth Asset - Cloth bounces off wildly during the rendering of a sequence in MRQ.

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Jun 26, 2024

The motion blur rendering is causing some issues when rendering the cloth asset as the timestep wildly changes without the number of substeps being increased, The movie pipeline code needs to man ...

Chaos Cloth - Fictitious Angular Scale is acting up when the cloth is teleported

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Apr 30, 2024

The Fictitious Angular Scale is still having an effect when the cloth is teleported.  Also it shouldn't have any effects when the velocity scale is set to 1 (as per tooltip documentation) but it doe ...

Unnecessary warning "LogChaosCloth: Warning: Invalid pattern data. Num pattern indices 0 != Num welded indices"... for all SKM cloth

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Apr 26, 2024

This warning is technically correct, panel-based cloth is disabled, but it's expected and there's nothing the user can actually do about it. This comes from a UDN. ...

Fractured Geometry Collection triggers a crash when colliding with an Animation Blueprint with a Rigidbody Node

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Sep 25, 2023

This is not a regression. Tested in //UE5/Release-5.2 CL26001984 The editor crashes when a physics asset of an animation with rigid body collides with geometry collection. ...

Cloth painting - Camera movements are broken once leaving the painting tool.

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Aug 29, 2023

Possibly a regression, but I could reproduce this issue as far as 5.2, so unsure when it started. The issue seems to be that the cloth painting tool lock the camera movements during painting, but d ...

Chaos Cloth Self Collisions Spatial is slow when Tris are much smaller than thickness

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Apr 21, 2023

This came via a UDN. Very small triangles can generate very small lods, which make query time really slow if your self collision thickness is significantly larger. You will do X^3 checks per query ...

Crash during cloth initializations while the debug materials are being loaded.

UE - Simulation - Physics - Character - Feb 15, 2023

The FGCObject::AddReferencedObjects() can be called during the LoadObject for the cloth debug materials, while the material object pointers are not yet initiliazed, causing the editor to crash. ...
