Fraying is currently disabled on Mac and can't yet be exported as mesh geometry. The release also introduces Brush Pinching, which lets artists push and pull fabric along a brushstroke, and Pinching Simulation Override, which locks guided fabric shapes in place. Together these give artists more direct control over garment silhouettes without leaving the 3D window or exporting to sculpting software. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
