I purchased this^ yesterday, but i must not know what I'm doing because I cant seem to get it to work...

Heres what I'm doing. I've found the presets in my content gallery. I'm selecting the piece of clothing i want to make DForce-y(aka I want to simulate so it will be flop and flap realistically in my scens), then I double clock on the preset that best fits the piece of clothing I have selected(example, My doctor character is wearing a labcoat, so I'm sellecting it, then double clicking of of the jacket resets), but when i click simulate its telling me nothing in the scene is DForce-y so i cant simulate because simulating wouldnt do anything..

    There's a user guide available from the Readme page:

    http://docs.daz3d.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/public/read_me/index/50109/50109_dforce-cloth-simulation-preset-tutorial.pdf

    You need to select surfaces you want to "dForcize" and first apply a dForce modifier to them so that they have dForce properties, then use the preset on those surfaces to change the settings.

    Oh ok, I'll get it a read... did the DForce Modifier come with the product?

    the istructions are too vague. on page five it says to "make sure the DForce Dynamic Modifier is applied" then on page six it says "if the DForce Dynamic Modifier is applied..."

    Whjat if its not? How do i apply it? lol

     

    :EDIT:

    Ok, i figured it out. even though the instruction don't really describe what you should do, if you pay close attention to the image on page five, you can see what you need to do.

    dForce modifier is part of DS, not the product, that's probably why it wasn't detailed.

    I'm getting a good bit of poke through, but luckily I'm much better with Photoshop than I am with DAZ, so i'm not seeing anthing i cant fix in post. aside from some minor nit-picks though the product is working as advertised. 

    Thank you very much for the assistence. I appreciate it.. :)

    @Midyin

    Mada has several videos about dForce. You may find them helpful.

    I've got this but can not find it except in the product menu.  Under presets in the content manager there is only dforce hair presets.  Not really sure what to do or if it is somewhere else than it is supposed to be. Never mind.  Found it in shaders.

    The dForce hair presets name is a typo error. Look in the subfolders and you should find the clothing presets.
