think curtains blowing in a breeze, bed sheets covering a sleeping figure, soft furnishings indenting when a model sits up them or, in some circumstances, hair falling across our models face. But clothing is not the only aspect where we can apply dForce. We’ve carried out a simple dForce simulation where a piece of fabric has draped itself naturally over a sphere but this is only a hint of what can be achieved with dForce.Ī real world application of dForce is to have the clothing our models wear hang naturally over their figures following their curves and dynamically adjusting their position after a pose change (and also after re-simulating).ĭForce simulated clothes bring a realism to our renders that we never had within Daz 3D before dForce was introduced. But once complete the fabric should fall naturally over the sphere. The speed of the dForce simulation is dependent on your GPU and so a faster graphics card should process the simulation faster. Simulation EndĪfter the Simulation button has been pressed – if everything has been set up correctly – we should see the fabric we have created fall from it’s position and then drape itself over the sphere. We could change the properties of the fabric so that Daz 3D would think it was working with different textures or materials.īut for this tutorial example we’ll just keep all the settings at default and when we’re ready we can hit the Simulate button on the Simulation Settings pane. There are a number of options that we could choose which would effect the way in which the simulation ran, we could change the strength of gravity for instance or how much air resistance our fabric would meet.
The plane that is acting the part of our fabric is now primed for the dForce simulation. Upon selecting this menu, to add the dForce modifier goto : dForce > Add dForce Modifier: Dynamic Surface. The menu can be identified as 4 horizontal lines with a small chevron. Once the Simulation pane is open go to the small menu selector next to the Simulate button at the top of the pane.

Note : If your simulation plane is not visible in your interface go to Windows > Panes (Tabs) from the top bar menu and select Simulation Panes. To do this, with the floating plane selected in the Daz 3D Scene tab, we now open the Simulation pane. Now we have important players in scene – namely the sphere and the plane that is acting as our fabric, we need to apply a dForce modifier to the plane so that Daz 3D knows to include it any dForce simulations we run. We can colour the plane if we like, in this case I’ve made the plane primitive a dark red colour. Once created, we place the plane above the sphere so there is a little gap between the two shapes. You can see in the image below the size of the plane that we will be using.
Once we have our sphere in place we then create another plane primitive which will act as our fabric. Add a plane to our scene to act as our fabric You can see the scene along with the size of the sphere primitive below. This is just going to be a simple scene where we create a sphere primitive and place it atop a plane primitive which represents the ground.
