I hope this message finds you well.
First of all, I would like to express my deep appreciation for the outstanding work you’ve done with FumeFX over the years. As a long-time user of the software, I see immense potential for further developing the cloth and soft body simulation systems to make FumeFX even more competitive. With that in mind, I’d like to suggest several improvements that could greatly enhance the user experience and the realism of simulations.

1. Real-time Cloth Simulation: Introducing a real-time cloth simulation feature, similar to what’s available in Cinema 4D or Marvelous Designer, would be a game-changer. Allowing users to see adjustments instantly would significantly reduce production time and increase workflow efficiency, especially in projects that require constant tweaks.
   
2. Improved Interaction with Complex Movements: Enhancing the interaction between cloth and dynamic movements, especially in scenes with violent and rapid changes, would add a new level of realism. For example, improving the way soft bodies and cloth interact with solid objects in fast-paced environments would be highly beneficial for more accurate simulations.
   
3. Advanced Support for Diverse Fabrics: Expanding the options to simulate various fabric types—such as cotton, leather, or silk—based on their real-world physical properties would make simulations more realistic and detailed. This feature would provide users with the ability to tailor cloth behavior more precisely according to the material being simulated.
   
4. Enhanced Collision Accuracy: Improving the precision of cloth collision with rigid bodies, especially in multilayer environments, would contribute to more realistic results. Better collision handling would ensure cloth behaves accurately based on real-world physics, which is essential in creating believable simulations.
   
5. Improved Fluid/Smoke and Cloth Interaction: Developing a system that enhances the interaction between fluids, smoke, and soft bodies would add a whole new level of realism. For example, if smoke flows around fabric or a soft object, the cloth should respond accurately to the forces and direction of the smoke or air movement.
   
6. Faster Smoke Simulation: Just as you have improved fluid simulations, speeding up smoke simulations would greatly improve workflow efficiency. Faster smoke processing will allow users to run more complex simulations in less time, making FumeFX more competitive in the VFX industry.
   
7. Integration with Ornatrix and Node-based Workflows: It would be fantastic to see tighter integration between FumeFX and Ornatrix for hair and fur simulations, allowing for better interaction between fluid dynamics and complex grooming. Additionally, expanding node-based workflows would provide more flexibility in creating intricate simulations with greater control over various parameters.
   

I believe these improvements would be a significant leap forward for FumeFX, making it even more powerful and versatile in the current market.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing how FumeFX continues to evolve with future updates.

"Setup failed to run installation: The remote procedure call failed."

I have gone to services and verified that the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is running.

The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator is running.

But I can't install this program.

Never ran into this before so hoping someone here has and knows what the heck is going on.

Also if I run the install without right-clicking and using "Administrator" option it fails with a different error:

"Error installing iKernel.exe: Files accessed"

Not sure if that helps... but also never had that happen either.

I haven't heard back from the support email from Sitnisati and it's becoming absolutely RIDICULOUS that this thing isn't working.

I now am starting to understand why people have gone to Houdini for an all-in-one solution.

Been trying to get this to work for MONTHS.

I have very little faith that anyone here will know how to fix this issue... but I'm desperate and since I can't get the actual staff to reply I'm hoping someone else here has run into the same problem.]]>
