    Oh I didn't know dforce worked with older clothes. I thought it had to be dForce spefically. And yes I have that uniform.

    dForce can be applied to just about anything, though how well it works on older clothes can be hit or miss, depending on how the older clothing item is constructed.

     

    My "favorite" dforce quirk on older clothing is when buttons go flying off the screen. You'd think they would drop to the floor, but they just go off somewhere...

    Martial arts outfits, poses and content aren’t huge sellers at the daz store unfortunately. I’m not even sure we’ll see a Lee or Mei-Lin this generation... but who knows. You may have to settle on kitbashing one from an older set.

     

     

    I appreciate your input but I respectfully do not accept it on the grounds that the world is an amazing place, can suprise us and I REALLY REALLY want an updated, current uniform! :P :P SO I'm going to keep hoping!

    I tryied dForce with the Genesis 2 gi and it didn't work to well because I didn't stiffen up the gi enough. If you've done tai kwon do or similar you know those gis are very thick heavy canvas cotton. At least there were when I did that. That are dForce paramters you can adjust to make it work right but I hope you have an nVidia card or something to speed up your trial and error.

    Eh, after enough washing and wearing, they're not significantly stiffer (though still heavier) than new quilting cotton.  Or at least, such is the case for my daughter's uniform at this point (she's had this one for about three years).  The demo team uniform is lighter (and I think is a poly-cotton blend, rather than the cotton canvas of the main uniform)

    I did increase the stiffness a bit on this image, though I don't remember how much.  I also played with the contract-expand setting on the belt to get it to tighten, but not too much so that the belt ends wouldn't shrink.

    Oh mine are, I don't keep them so long that they turn yellow. They must be 1/8th inch thick although I never measured them.

    Maybe at the seams on the cuffs, or perhaps the collars.  Canvas is, at most, as thick as denim.  1/8th inch is closer to terry or fleece.  (I also can't picture 3-4 years as being "too long" to go between uniforms.  Hers may not be pristine white, but it has barely hit eggshell, let alone ecru, but to each their own on that count.)

    Back on the topic of virtual martial arts uniforms... I hope we will see a new one, prepped for dForce, with a fully separate belt.  As I said, I haven't tried to autofit the current one to Generation 3, let alone 8 (I realize it's just one more step) but I'd hate to loose the nice drapes this one has.

    The G2 uniform does work well on G3 and G8 but it tends to bunch up in the under arm and chest area. No judgement there on the artist, I'm sure it's the best that could be done way back when it was made and it's definitely my Go To option when it comes to that kind of picture.

    Hypnagog is a thing but they can't make an updated version of a Martial Arts uniform. Yeah I'm sure people were lined up begging for Hypnagog. 

    ...or a a cat that bends more like a real cat (and also has real fur) without the mesh distorting

    It works with all sorts of clothing; sometimes with the default setting, but more often tweaking is required.

    All dForce is, is a set of parameters added to the cloth materials. It works on... well, not quite everything. Due to the limits of this current first version of dForce, working cloth needs to be created in a certain way, otherwise it'll fall apart when D|S begins to run a dynamics simulation. All the current dForce-capable clothes are made in this "right" way, but the interesting thing is that many older clothes also just happened to be made this way as well. The only real drawback is you can't tell for sure if a given piece of pre-dForce cloth will work, until you add the new parameters to the materials and try it out. Hopefully later versions of dForce will be more flexible in what types of cloth it'll be able to use.
