Originally, dynamic cloth was being handled by a plugin from OptiTex, who reportedly also had a software package aimed at the fashion and garment design industry. It's my (mis?) understanding they somehow wound up with a contract to handle all dynamic cloth for DS, and there was something about them having to deliver a plugin for end users, but I'm not sure if that deal (if it even existed) was to include end-user capability to create dynamic cloth. I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact details, but IIRC that's the gist of it according to what my feeble mind can recall from a thread I saw here several years ago
The plugin they did release for DS apparently only works with items made in their ultra-expensive industry software.
dForce can turn anything made by anyone into dynamic cloth.
...or explode it, given circumstances.
Can you dForce anything?
theoretically, yes. it might explode though. or fly away.
No.
I mean, you can but there are limits to what will work.
The important part is that the object must be physically possible or it won't work. This is why it's not really a good answer to say "yes but it might explode" because a lot of things are not phyisically possible shapes, and won't "explode" per se, but still won't work.
This is one reason a lot dForce items look simpler compared to older non-dForce items. Many of the cheats one can use to make something look good will not work with dForce. A button or broach not actually attached to the garment will simply fall to the ground. Similarly collars and cuffs that aren't attached will sag and separate.
Another cheat used in non-dForce items is to have a surface intersect another surface. In dForce, this will fail, probably explosively. It will happen with any intersection of simulated surfaces, so poke through can cause explosions. But it's fairly common, again, to cheat a design by having bits go right through other bits.
So the most complete answer would be you can try to dForce anything, but most things will probably fail spectacularly.
I think my most impressive explosions until now happened when dForcing hair... but some puddles of water came a close second.
How does the biweely freebies work?
