I have been working through Kevin's tutorial on the Basic "Bed Cloth" but some of the settings are way off when I compare the tutorial to mine...
OK the setting I first noticed was different was the c.p. stitcher "base resolution" - whereas Kevin uses 250 then goes up to 280..... to get that kind of 'look' mine is say "1000" ??
All the other settings like the 'collision offset ' are strange as well.
Kevin uses 0.2 where if I set mine to 0.015 - I still have a quite large gap.
I have tried changing the "solver scale" from 10 to 1 then back again, still no difference.
I sorted the problem while looking at the Photo's -

I had made the bed too small - thats why it affected the number of Triangles so much. :o
Being as I cannot delete this post I thought I would explain.
Sorry,
Please delete this post Mr Admin.
