Motivated by the computational limitations of simulating interactions of particles in highly-granular detectors, there exists a concerted effort to build fast and exact machine-learning-based shower simulators. This work reports progress on two important fronts. First, the previously investigated WGAN and BIB-AE generative models are improved and successful learning of hadronic showers initiated by charged pions in a segment of the hadronic calorimeter of the International Large Detector (ILD) is demonstrated for the first time. Second, we consider how state-of-the-art reconstruction software applied to generated shower energies affects the obtainable energy response and resolution. While many challenges remain, these results constitute an important milestone in using generative models in a realistic setting.
