I’m a modeler and rarely use figures/clothes and since I’ve hardly been keeping up with anything concerning dynamic clothing, I have no idea what to make of this:

http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/FreebieDownload01.php

14 pages of dynamic clothes materials/options/whatever… not sure if there is any actual clothes (or anything worthwhile) or these are just options/materials for existing outfits…  I was looking into what exactly Optitex is and I found these… I did not have time to look into these beyond one or two pages, I don’t own any Dynamic clothes (except for the ones I’m wearing)... I’ve never heard anyone mention this collection, so I thought I’d mention it here…

In the event this is common knowledge…  well, sorry for wasting your time… then again, this thread will probably be lost forever in thread order limbo about a half hour (or less) after I click “submit post”.

Hope this was of some use to someone.

Yes, those are mostly actual clothing items for use with the DAZ Studio system. Watch the installers (they are mostly in installers, not zips, unless that’s been updated) as they create a Content folder in the destination folder, so you may need to move the files for them to work.

Yes those are actual dynamic cloths for use on V4 and M4 in DAZ studio. I have and have checked most all of them. I recommend them to anyone wanting to get in to studios dynamic clothing but want to check it before they drop loads of cash on dynamic clothing for studio.

They aren’t specifically for genesis but can be made to work; at least in stills.  My experience though was not good.

Pet peeve: At one time you could run the dynamics in studio then move them to carrara for staging. That was a year ago and I am still waiting for DAZ to fix this so I can get back too it.

Richard, not sure because I didn’t check them all but it looks like they have went to zip wooot. 

All the Free items are in ZIP’s and need proper install to work properly. They are all Clothing unless it states other wise. I have them all.

are the DS dynamic clothes able to work nicely with the poser cloth room?

i saw someone asking about the M4 kimono.  has anyone tried it in the poser cloth room?

thanks.

You can export them as an object and use them. They generally work fine unless there are multiple layers etc. Then they tend to get a bit fussy.

I thought the Optitex Daz dynamics and the Poser dynamics were a mutually exclusive set? I’ve used some of these. They also get confused when something like a sleeve intersects with the shirt it’s attached to. Some body morphs (Bruuna by Roberto Melo) can really break some of these items. Otherwise, they can look pretty fine. There’s also an Optitex dynamic sheet on sale here at Daz:

Optitex clothing doesn’t morph - if you have a figure that’s larger (or smaller) than the default then it needs a different size, but unfortunately we aren’t getting a range of sizes (with the exception of a couple of Freak fits). Of course a lot of the work would need to be repeated for the different sizes (including textures), so they’d have to be paid for on the commercial sets (and we couldn’t expect them on the freebies anyway).
