More aggressive settings for Temporal Smooth
#1
Temporal Smooth seems very weak, even with maxed out settings.

I tried to get rid of some jittering in cloth (as per the instructions with a reference flow). I could see only minimal improvement, so I set up a test case.

It seems like you need a lot of stacked smooth operators (no pun intended) to get any meaningful result. Which is clumsy, but would be ok if it wasn't for the fact that we have to trigger all of those manually each time we open the file unless we cache the result to disc. The particle motion is smoothed before the spawn / spline paths which only serve for visualization (circle/green is smoothed)

   


Unless I'm missing something, here, would it be possible to offer a more aggressive algorithm or at least unlock the spinners (with a warning regarding calculation times / RamĀ if necessary)? Or a setting for iterating the overall operator x amounts of time automatically?

Obviously, there are other ways to smooth that spline, but that's not the point of this exercise.



Example file is TyFlow 1.128 and Max 2023
