Good and thorough D-Force tutorials?

Tallulahdahling · January 2020

I've been struggling with D-Force for quite a while. I learned from the basic tutorial, but it seems like D-Force only works for me sometimes. There are some poses I just can't use if I don''t want explosions, and that restricts what I can do in my images. This is unfortunate because more and more clothing now only uses D-Force to adjust to poses, and looks stiff or sticks to legs if you can't use D-Force. I used to create pictures fairly fast and easily that matched my imagination, but as DAZ products have become more advanced, my art has become less advanced.

What I would love to have is a course - if it was well explained and thorough I'd be happy to pay a good price for it - that would go into the workings and the different settings of D-Force, as well as showing how to solve common problems like explosions and that disappointing error message that appears about half the time when I hit "simulate", when nothing happens.

I appreciate that DAZ forum members do their best to be helpful, but it would be so lovely to have a downloadable D-Force course with an index and clear, reliable tutorials that could thereby save time. A person can read through several threads that may or may not answer their questions, may or may not be helpful, and then have to wait for people to see their questions and answer them, if they do, and possibly having to ask numerous questions with waits in between before the problem is solved, if it is.

Sometimes I have a deadline I need to meet, and having a ready source of help for such a crucial part of rendering would be so valuable to me.

Please don't get me wrong, the forums are a necessary resource that I appreciate. But if there is already a clear and thorough D-Force course, or if someone is willing to do the job, it would be worth a great deal to me. I'd pay plenty for that convenience.
