The memorised post doesn't have to be the zero pose - you can memorise any pose you like (which works by changing the default values, so be careful about saving modified assets) from the Edit>Figure>Memorise sub-menu.
Awww-yeaaa..... Thank you, I'll check there.
Has anybody tested, if all plugins still work in 4.10?
This is fixed.
I've managed to get plenty of things to explode, but have had some good results by:
@L'Adair - thanks for the helpful tips! I didn't know where the Update and Merge menus were (never used them before) and had forgotten what pane was the one for the new dynamics. Very much appreciated!
OMG thank you so much. I was like... I lost Dforce. /sigh
Anyone having any success getting dForce to work with figures which have geografts attached? In all my tests, the clothing simply won't pose along with the figure if there's a geograft, even if the clothing is fitted to a different figure. If it's colliding with a figure which has a geograft, it will refuse to follow the pose of the figure it's fitted to when running the simulation.
I've had reasonable success getting going with this today and I'm loving it so far. But, does anyone know if there is a way to pick a "frame" from the simulation after it's run to fine-tune the finished drape? I guess I'm talking about the simulation settling period, like the few seconds where the simulation continues to run after the pose has reached its final position, and I'd like to be able to scrub back/forward to find the perfect final simulated position.
I've done a fair bit of cloth simulation in Blender, and there the simulation bakes to a animation sequence, and once the sim is done you can scrub frame by frame to find the perfect result.
Anyone know if there is somthing like this? If so I'm missing it so far.
I'm not seeing anything in my product library (I've searched for DAZ, Studio, 4., Pro). Nothing.
Edit: and just as I typed this, the search finished and what is labelled Daz Studio 4.x Pro will now let me download 4.10.
I'm still blocked out. The button on the announcement page takes me to my product library, and no search criterion brings up anything but the Beat page, which has no download link in Manual download.
Even the dForce Starter essentials from a few days ago gives me an empty page.
Just wanted to say "Thank you" to the devs for choosing OpenCL and not CUDA. :)
Wow, lots of crazy advancements like G8 and now dForce. And it's still 4.X?
What does it take to get it to 5.0?
It's there for me https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files#prod_13176 , it's listed as DAZ Studio 4.x Pro - if neither the name nor the link work for you please open a Sales Support ticket
As mentioned already, you can use dForce on existing clothing. How successful it will work depends very much on how the clothing was made. I've successfully draped an item made for V4, and here's one for G2F where the buttons and pockets fell off. Another detail to a successful drape is to make sure the item being draped is not intersecting with an item being collided with. Fingers poking through fabric, for example. Llynara has some good tips here.
For dForce to work, your computer needs to have OpenCL 1.2. For most of us, updating the video card driver to the latest version will also install OpenCL 1.2 support. (That's CL as in CLose, not GL as in GLow. Seems that's confused a few people, so just clarifying.) Some older computers have hardware that is no longer supported, and OpenCL 1.2 will not work.
A release version can run along side a beta, as the programs are installed in different folders. Version 4.8 and Daz Connect handle the database differently, but if you have already installed a release version later than 4.8, keeping the 4.8 beta as a backup, you won't have any issues running 4.10. On the other hand, if both your release and beta are 4.8, you may want to check out the issues in the Daz Studio Discussion forums.
First, I've been using the 4.10 beta since it came out, and for anything non-dForce related, it works as well as, and is as stable as, the latest released version of 4.9.
I've had problems with dForce, but not since the updated 4.10 beta release. Existing clothing can be used with dForce, after applying a modifier. However, how well it works is dependent on how the item was made. And if the item being draped is intersecting with something else, it can cause the "explosion" effect. It is also a good idea to hide anything in the scene that isn't part of the simulation. It will speed things up, and there is less chance of the item intersecting something. I had one item that had a single point intersecting a shoelace. Yep, it ended up exploding.
Using dForce is going to be a learning experience for us all.
You can use the Animation Timeline.
In the Simulation Settings tab, look for Frames To Simulate. It is set to Current Frame by default. Click anywhere on the field and the drop-down list will be displayed. Select Animated (Use Timeline Play Range). The Timeline may already be at the bottom of your Daz Studio layout, minimized. if it isn't, you may need to open the tab: Click on Window in the top menu. The first entry is Panes (Tabs), click on that and then scroll down the long list until you find Timeline. Click on Timeline. (In my layout, clicking on Timeline automatically docked the tab to the bottom of my screen.)
The default is 30 frames. Some people have used and prefer 60 frames. Frame 0 should be the starting pose, with the target pose half way down the Timeline. The simulation will continue until the end, "settling" the drape, (as you've seen with the Current Frame option.) Once the simulation is complete, you can slide the indicater along the timeline until you have the frame you like the best.
Can anyon comment on this? I had the same issue when trying the beta and, if this is a "feature" of dForce, then it is useless for me.

I haven't tried using dForce with a geograft.
Have you tried selecting the geograft in the scene tab and then applying the "Add dForce Modifier: Static Surface" to it?
ETA: I'm going to go see if I can drape something on the Centaur...
Ah thanks. So it is a bug and has been reported. I'll hold off trying any simulations in that case.
So as a PA who never took the time to touch dForce before today, I'm really impressed! It works even with the dorky sister pushing again you. And all I had to do is click a button. Grats to all involved, this is a huge milestone for Daz Studio.
So if I just copy my Daz Studio 4.9 onto a different harddrive I will be ok if anything goes wrong? am I write in thinking this?
Edited to fix quote
No. Copying the installed files to another drive is not what I meant. You need to copy the ZIP files DIM used to install 4.9, (or the EXE and ZIP files you manually downloaded to install yourself, if that's the case.) Now that 4.10 has been released, you won't be able to download the older files from your Product Library.
If you move your installed files to another drive and then want to go back to 4.9, you will have lost all of the settings in the Registry, (for Windows computers. Not sure how Macs install programs...)
I got you thank you :)
Edited to fix quote
If you manually download from the product page, the new installer has a different name and won't overwrite the old installer. This is not the case with DIM.
Is anyone else having problems downloading the new version? It won't install thru DIM (tho it did hose my current installation) and when I look for it in my account history it doesn't show up. Trying to get it from the site front pages also takes me to my account page, where the link is non-existent. Any one else?
Edit: Nevermind - found the problem. At first I thought Bitdefender was interfering so I turned it off, but it turned out it was Malwarebytes that was interefering. What? o.O
Laurie
...having some difficulty with downloading. As my work system does not have a Net connection I cannot use the DIM. To download content and updates, I do so on an older 32 bit notebook an transfer vie USB stick. This has worked fine, even for downloading 4.9.4.122 which I recently did, but apparently not 4.10.107 or whatever it is called.
I brought this up on announcement thread last night but have not yet received a reply s to why this is happening.
When I click on the manual download button for the 64 bit Windows version, instead of the download commencing, I am sent to my product page. The only versions that show in the product ibrary listing are "4.5.1.56" (which is listed as "Inactive") and "4.x" Pro, which when I click on that, the field to the right remains blank and only brings up a message that reads:
"Select a product to get started".
...well I did select a "product" (the only one that was still "active"), and nothing happened.
Hi Laurie I also have Malwarebytes how did you get round that problem...Just in case.
Edited to fix quote
I quit Malwarebytes until I had DS installed then turned it back on ;). Right-click the Malwarebytes icon in the taskbar and choose "Quit Malwarebytes".
You don't happen to have Malwarebytes installed do you? It kept me from downloading and installing it, so I had to turn it off until I had everything installed. Could also be another AV program doing it.
...I just have the free version of MB which only allows for a manually initiated scan. Looked at the advanced settings and automatic features are turned off and cannot be turned on without upgrading to the "paid for" version, so this shouldn't be causing the issue.
Not turning off my primary AV while online as that would be akin to suicide with the Bad Rabbit ransomware on the loose. LIke I mentioned before had no trouble DLing the public release of 4.9.4.122, why should this be different?
