Magnetize clothing?

Miss Animated

Way back in poser, I remember a magnet feature that was used to help with fit and conform. However, what about unfitting?  

This may sound silly, but I'm having a mental block and looking for a way to take our great conformed closhing and, as in nature, ride it up a bit when G2F is reaching, or maybe come untucked on one side when bending, etc.  Anyone else ever have this question too?  Hey, even all of us leave heaps of laundry on the floors/beds/etc.  What about that?  Can we deform things in a world of complete comformity so that the really look llike crumpled flat clothing or do we just go with the partially folded look for it all... LOL

Thanks!

It's called dynamics, LOL. You can get Optitex clothing in the store that is dynamic and works in DS or a couple of other 3rd party options at Rendo that will turn most conforming clothing into dynamics.

If you just need to manipulate an area of clothing, try using a deformer, they work great for that once you get the hang of them.

Magnetising was used for Victoria 4, which had magnets (dForms in DS) that were controlled by joints to adjust the mesh shape. it wasn't a general technique for improving fit or draping.

Daz has a quick intro to deformers at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGt_AGiOPrs

The actual deformer use starts around 2:30 in.

Several other people have more in-depth deformer tutorials on youtube. Sadly, I haven't seen any really good ones that aren't videos.

I find getting the weight field right is extremely annoying: I can see what I want it to do, but I can't make it do it very well, but I know that will get better with more practice. It is exactly the right tool for pulling areas of clothing around, though.

Good luck!

My favorite tip: If you copy videos into OneNote, they get indexed by phoneme so you can search for where/when words are said. Not as nice as having full-text tutorials, but very, very handy.
