I made a quick walkthrough on how to set up rigid follow nodes since its a great help to add buttons etc to work with dForce. :) Click on pictures to see larger.
This builds up on Josh's video on rigid follow nodes so watch that first
How can you save prop attached to a rigid follower node for a character (without saving the character)?
The idea is that the prop shall attach to same area for any character type, e.g. across all G8F.
I have tried both smart prop and wearable preset, but I am not able to load the rigid node and the prop therefore ends below the character on the floor.

Wearables preset should work with the node and parented item checked.
Hi Mada :) I have an outfit with rigid follow node on his stomach. That is a bigger item. I would like this item with dforce to use. But in every simulation exlodes everytime - only when the rigid item is not on his place (translate on X direction with 50centimeter). What can the problem be?

Is there intersection between the node object and the clothign being dForced?
I'm trying to create a rigid follow node on an OBJ object which I imported into Daz. I select a face, and create the rigid follow node from selected. However, the Rigid Follow Node appears way ABOVE the entire object. What should I check for?

Thank you!

Mucho gracias !!
(miss the faeriewylde terribly) faeries drifting homelessly
aaaw yes I do miss Faeriewylde... sadly keeping up the forum took more time than we had available. Glad to see you around :hug:
Thank You!
Found this thread via Google. I'll see what I can do with this. Thanks Mada! XO
First tutorial on rigid follow nodes : how to set up a belt buckle :)
Thank you Mada for this tutorial, It was very useful! (=
Thank you!
Thanks so much Mada!
Well done and helpful! Thanks, Mada.
thanks a lot for this tutorial.
instead of creating, it helped me identify and delete those pesky hard-to-delete Rigid Follow Nodes.

very helpful indeed. :)

no - but my problem already solved: on display tab turn off the "visible in simulation" and that's OK :)
Yep - that's the solution - glad you got it figured out :)

NVM, I found the problem. I had to use the transfer utility to fit the item to a figure.
