Tutorials appear to work much differently than reality
#1
I'm learning Tyflow and don't know enough yet as to what's normal and what represents a poor configuration. 

As I watch tutorials, I see presenters scrubbing the timeline in what appears to be real time with no lag and no processing going on. Cloth parameters are being changed and the result is instant and fluid. 

Each time I click something, I have to wait 30-45 seconds for things to calculate and catchup. I have CUDA enabled, a Pro license and Multithreading turned on. I also have a fairly powerful machine with a Ryzen9 3950x, 128gb Ram and an RTX 4090 graphic card. 

In this tutorial for instance, it doesn't appear (at 1:51 ish) as if it's been edited to "cut out" the processing wait times. It appears to be realtime. I don't experience this fluidity with changing parameters.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR1rgJXx...enescudero

Is it possible I'm misconfigured or are these videos edited thus making it an unrealistic representation as to the time caching takes?

Is your plane in similar res like in the tutorial (similar number of segments)?
Have you created scene exactly what this guy is showing in tutorial?
30-45 seconds really sounds too long, for this type of plane, and for only 50 frames, even for my old i7.

AMD CPUs (specifically threadrippers) have scheduling problems on Windows. Try enabling "pin threads" in the CPU rollout of a tyFlow object to see if that improves the speed of simulation.

@d4rk3lf, yes, identical to the tutorial. That's why I was asking.
@Administrator, I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.

@Administrator, I'm posting a capture of my TyFlow Object settings. I don't have "pin threads" in the CPU rollout. Could it be called something else or is it a new feature? I'm using TyFlow v1.0151.

Yes, that feature was added in a newer build (v1.017). Is there a particular reason you're using v1.0151?

Yes, I missed the 30-day window to upgrade and can't afford a full version right now post Covid. So I'm stuck with v1.0151 and Max 23 for now.
