Cloth Component - Collider Limit of 16?

    Greetings!

    I'm working in a project that relies heavily on the Cloth component. The general purpose is to make clothing pieces fit "realistically" to a human mesh.

    With that in mind, I was planning on using a sufficient amount of colliders to mimic such behaviour.

    However, it would seem that a single cloth component has a hard(?) limit of 16 usable colliders. If I add any more, the cloth seems to simply ignore it.

    It might be relevant to say that I tested this by placing 16 capsule colliders in an empty scene with a "high" poly plane on top. The association between the cloth component on the plane and the capsules is done by script.

    This is the result with 16 colliders:

    And this is with 17:

    Is this a known limitation? If it is, are there plans to possibly increase the limit? What would be the possible consequences?

    Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated! :)

    a year later, any updates?

    documentation said max of 32 capsule, but it maxes out at 16. why?

    WOW... incredible that you were able to simulate 7 by 7 meters with that amount of triangles.
    Anyway, 16 is really a lot. Do you need 16 human mesh?

    Did you try to reduce the number triangles 1:3?

    2021, still seems to be a problem I've not been able to find extra information on. I needed the colliders to recreate a particular object.

    2022, still a problem. At the very least, could we get a documentation update with the limit of 16? Would have been awesome to know that beforehand.

    Having the same issue, the limit seems to indeed be 16
