I just tried the new experimental Cloth Dynamics solver in geometry nodes Blender 5.2 Alpha and I implemented it for Blender 5.2 Alpha with interactive fern foliage!
And when I switch off the pin from the weight paint, I can smash the foliage and with tearing on, the leaves can be destroyed or ripped
Still missing self-collision for now, and I had to jump inside the node group to tweak a few things manually, but it’s already really exciting to see this system exist now and it’s fast to setup and real-time too…

If you want to try the project file, you can download it here for free! :https://t.co/ps3dZ1qMhy
But, if you’d like to support my work and future experiments, feel free to leave a tip, any amount is greatly appreciated

Try to turn on the experimental in the preferences. I don’t know which on should turn on for the geo nodes to work, but I recommend just turn on all…

I plug the math node “Subtract” to the Compliance at Pin Positions node

I get the same error and I already have everything in the experimental tab enabled. I’m using the 5.2 alpha from today.

Hmmm, that’s weird. You download the file from my Ko-fi, right?
Yep, same, I get the error despite having all the dev extras activated.
