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

    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. :)

    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?

  • tobiarbeittobiarbeit Posts: 19

    no - but my problem already solved: on display tab turn off the "visible in simulation" and that's OK :)

    Question:

    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?

    Thanks,

    Causam

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