I hope that you enjoy this package. ~Wolfie~ ------------------------------ DFORCE USAGE TIPS ------------------------------ For best results with dForce Clothing: On frame 0, load Dawn 2, select Dawn 2 in the scene tab, and load your clothing item. In the timeline, change the total number of frames from 31 to 91 (This is not manditory but will result in a much better drape). Go to frame 20, and apply any morphs, shapes, and pose to Dawn 2 you wish to use. In the Simulation settings, turn Start Bones from Memorized Pose OFF, and chose Animated (Use Timeline Play Range) in Frames to Simulate. When using heavier shapes, or poses, that have limbs close to the body and poking into the cloth, be sure to move them away from the body, at the frame in which you posed your figure, before simulating to prevent cloth deformation during sim. This is a common issue with dForce, and a simple pose adjustment is often all you need. When simulating hair with dForce, hide the clothing in the scene (any clothing) to prevent dForce hair from intersecting in the clothes. Optional tips: For smoother folds in final renders: Increase Render SubD Level (Minimum) in the clothing item's Parametres Tab. (Note: I currently set my Render SubD Level (Minimum) to 2. You may need to make this option visible. (In the Parametres tab, click the options drop down at the top of the Parametres tab (Looks like a stack of pancakes with an arrow on the top), and chose Preferences > Show Hidden Properties. Increase Smoothing Iterations in the clothing item's Parametres tab. (Note: I currently set my Smoothing Iterations to 3) To reset your simulation, right click on the "Simulation Settings" Tab and "Clear Simulation Data". These are suggestions only. You can adust these settings depending on your needs, and desired results. ------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE ------------------------------ If you have acquired this package through any other site other than Renderosity you have acquired it illegally as this set is EXCLUSIVE to the Renderosity Market Place.
