Dynamic Sheets product, issue

Norm

Anyone with Daz 4.8 have this item? I just bought it and it does not work. It is listed (incorrectly?) in my Loading/Creating>Content Library>Products>Dynamic Sheets; but clicking on that only gives me "King size". The sub menu for that is a 'king size sheet' and 4 mats. When I load the King Size sheet into the scene it only functions as a plane. It does not conform to anything or display any dynamic properties. It will accept the mats. I have re-uploaded it several times, and 'searched known drives for new content' with no luck. Changing its parent seems to do no good, and there is no option to 'fit to' another figure. How do I get it to drape over a figure? Thank you

You need to use the Dynamic Cloth plugin (which is free and should be installed). This gives you the option to 'drape over' stuff.

There's an extended plugin (for $50) that gives finer control and extra ability to tweak things. I have the full plugin, so I don't recall what the basic plugin does that the extended does not.

But where do I find this Dynamic Cloth Plug-in and how do I use it William? Please be specific. I am very familiar with dynamic clothing, and it works for me, but it is automatic. This isn't. It is just a plane. Thanks

The other size can be gotten by selecting them in the dynamic clothing pane. Be sure that you have the object selected and at the bottom you should see the other options.

Thanks guys. I'll try it in about 20 minutes, I rendering right now. I'll report on my results. Thanks again.

Also, as a guy who works almost exclusively in dynamics when I can, in the collisions tab I highly suggest you choose the minimum required collision objects. Doing so greatly improves the speed of the drape.

Plus, in my experience, if you leave too much stuff in Collision, it just fails and falls through everything.
