Dangle behavior and cycle layers

No idea when next video coming out (I just subscribe to then channel and get a nice surprise).

I am not surprised that cycle layers don’t support dangles (but never tried it). I can see that they could, but can see why they did not. The idea of cycle layers is to display a sequence of static images. Its like an automatic swap set where it picks the next swap set entry for you. I always think of a layer as being a single frame, but of course you can specify the number of frames a layer displays for. But gravity for dangles starts fresh at the start of a scene... I wonder if you trigger a swap set, does that reset the gravity dangle? (Dunno! Need to try it) in which case each cycle layer would effectively be resetting the dangle/wind/etc. That could be pretty strange. Seems safer/more predictable to say “sorry, I will just display the static layers - on physics or warping involved”.

Dangles (and drags) are based on warping/distorting, which requires understanding the mesh. I guess theoretically you can make each layer get distorted by dangles etc. I just sort of understand why they may have chosen not to do that (because it could be confusing, and because it might be hard to implement).  Interesting though. I am not at a computer with the software installed - could be interesting to try.
