Dynamic Clothing Control in Daz Studio 4.5

darianbarnes

If was wondering if someone could help me to understand how to use dynamic clothes in Daz Studio 4.5. Every time I tried to load a piece of clothing it comes in as only an object. Do I have to add bones? Is the content not properly installed? I'm just very confused about the whole thing.

Optitex Dynamic Clothing is not conforming clothing, so it doesn't work the same as other clothing does. Once you have run a Drape, and you move the character's pose, you will have to run the drape again.

What clothing are you trying to use, and what figure are you trying to use it on? Most dynamic clothing for DS, is made for V4 and M4, and if you are trying to use these on Genesis, there is a bit of work to do. You also cannot scale dynamic clothing to fit to different characters.

There should be a tutorial on using the DCC, but in the meantime, have a look here : http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/
There is a link to tutorials on the Optitex forum which may help.

EDIT:

If you look here : http://184.72.52.194/doku.php/public/read_me/index/9032/start there is a link to a pdf document half way down the page, which should help. I think it is for DS3, but the same information should apply. There are two version of the DCC, the free one that comes with DAZ Studio 4.5, and the paid for one, which adds extra parameters to the control, like wind and gravity, and material types.

See how you get on, and if you need more help, post again.
