====================================================================== ************************************************************ *Product Name: Dynamic Tights *Copyright 9/2 2015 *By: Gustaf Grefberg *Contact: fireserpenttongue@gmail.com ************************************************************ Dynamic tights is back with a major overhaul! These dynamic tights take advantage of the poser cloth room to create a natural stretch. Dynamic tights can stretch and crease naturally depending on the characters pose and body, and create very realistic looking results. The tights come in four different variants: 1: Tights with constrained waist that keep them im place 2: Additional constraints at the ankles, in case you make an "y" stretch, making sure they keep the correct length. 3: Additional constraints at the front/pelvis. For some figures this helps to keep a tighter fit around the pelvic area that dynamic pants otherwise usually don't. 4. A combination of constraints at the ankles and front. The readme include tips on how to create the best fit/stretch for the tights, depending on your Vicky's bodyshape. Tons of UV-mapped materials with shaders are included: Basic fabric Sweats Flowers Batik Roses Flowered pattern Tiger pattern Tiedye Silk Stripes Thin stropes -------------------------------------- System Requirements: Poser 6 or higher Victoria 4 by Daz3d -------------------------------------- Installation Instructions: Unzip the files into your poser directory. To open a clothing item, you go to props, then into the Grappo folder and then into the Dynamicpants2 folder. To apply a material, go to materials, and then into the Grappo folder and into the Dynamicpants2/tights folder. -------------------------------------- Usage Tips or Limitations: ************************** * Cloth Room quick start * ************************** This quick start breaks down the process into simple steps how to use the clothing in the cloth room. It is not a full poser cloth room tutorial. If you are a beginner it should be enough to get you started, and if you are a more advanced user it should help you find the right settings and some good tips. 1. Load Victoria. 2. On frame 1, load the zero pose, without any body morphs loaded. (You can have facial morphs, since they don't affect the clothing.) Make sure to have Inverse Kinematics off, found in the Figure menu. 3. Somewhere between frame 15-30 (Or more if you feel its needed), put Vicky in the final pose that you want. Here you can also load or apply any custom V4 morphs that you want, that alters her body one way or the other. (Including other Daz characters like Aiko, The Girl, or Stephanie.) The cloth simulation needs to start with Vicky zeroed in the first frame, so that the clothing can drape or stretch into the final frame. If you are doing an animation, it's also from this frame and forward you will start it. 4.(IMPORTANT!) Before you load any of the clothing props, make sure you have Vicky selected. Then load the clothing. Now, the clothing is parented to Victoria, so if you scale Victoria, the clothing is scaled as well. This can be very useful. The clothing can stretch, if you scale victoria down down in size in the starting pose, and be normal in size in the final pose. If you have loaded a pose and morphs in the final frame, there is already a keyframe here, so all you have to do is to scale victoria down a bit in the starting pose. Make sure you have victoria's BODY selected when doing this. 5. Go to "New Simulation" and set the desired amount of frames. Usually this is the same number as your final pose frame. Even though it's not necessary, setting up some drape frames, 10-15 is recommended. This will make the rest of the simulation faster, and more stable. 6. Then select "Collide against", and as collision object choose Victoria 4. You can choose her whole body, or to speed up the simulation a bit, check the ignore feet and hand collection boxes. (Although you may want the feet checked if you are calculating the pants) A good collision offset value is somewhere between 0.300-0.400. Collision distance is usually good around 0.400. To keep the shirt from intersecting with the rest of the fabric, having the self collision box checked can help. "Start draping from zero pose" should be unchecked, or you may get very strange results! 7. In the DYNAMICS CONTROLS, you can experiment with fold resistance (and of course other values), to give the fabric some more creases, or decrease it to make the material a little bit tougher. Values between 0.5 to 3.0 are pretty good, depending on the results you are after. A low fold resistance will work well with these clothes and give very nice, detailed draping. When you have everything set up the way you like click "Calculate Simulation" *********************************** * Using parented scale * *********************************** The tights come parented to Victoria 4. This means that if you move or scale her, the tights will follow. Now, if you scale her in the starting pose, it will affect the cloth simulation. (Just make sure that she is scaled to normal/100% in your final pose) For example, if you want the pants to stretch or fit tighter in the final pose, just scale vicky down. When you do this scaling, make sure to have Victoria's BODY selected. This is very useful if you want the pants to fit tightly to your character. If your vicky is curvier than the average figure, this might not be needed, since the tights will stretch out into her. But if she is thinner, you may want to scale her down a bit in the zero pose. (especially z and x axis) If your V4 figure is named to something else than "Victoria 4" sometimes the parent doesn't set when you load the garment, if that's the case, just go into the object menu and parent it to Victoria 4's "body" ***************** * Material Room * ***************** Applying materials is easy. Go into the material room, into the Grappo folder and into the Dynamicpants2/tights folder. Just click on a material and it's applied all the zones ****************************** ** Merchant resources used: ** ******************************* - Tie Dye Brushes by Mystikel - Fabric Texture Brushes by Mystikel - Fabric Flaire Bundle by Banphrionsa - Designer Patterns by Atenais (Liudmila Metaeva) - Patterned Silks Resource Pack 03 2004 by Lynn Johnson - a.k.a "FanDancer" - Photos from 3d.sk - Vintage Batiks by Liudmila Metaeva - Own resources ************************ * General Stuff * ************************ If you wish to make your own textures, you will find an UV map called "Tights_UV" in the included templates zip.
