Dynamic clothing daz studio -hints and tips

What is dynamic clothing?

Dynamic clothing is a real boon to 3d artists everywhere. Are you’re fed up with fixing poke-throughs and annoyed by noticing the fault in your clothing props after you waited two hours for your high-resolution render to complete?

See! Just awful isn’t it! OK, true enough, I exaggerated the problem rather for the purposes of clarity for this blog, but you get the idea. Poke-through often occurs when you want to put your character into the more extreme action poses, but it can occur even a simple pose, like sitting.

Well, dynamic clothing created by Optitex is here to save the day! The way it works is, the clothing has a basic ‘set’ that is designed for the ‘zero’ pose of your character, and you can then just pose Victoria in this case, and let the ‘drape’ engine do its stuff, to follow exaclty the pose you created. You can define collisions on or off, and you can leave out collisions with things like the ceiling, or items away from Victoria, to speed up draping time.

Dynamic clothing and the drape button

screen capture of the dynamic clothing tab

Here is a screenshot of Daz studio 3 showing the Drape button. You can see the item Fitted Tank is selected in the tab. This way you can select which clothing item(s) are draped when you click the drape button. There are a number of other parameters that you can set, like gravity, weight, collision distance, shrink and so on.

In this way you can transform a close-fitting tank top into a fashionable baggy ‘boyfriends’ t-shirt very easily

Depending on what items you are draping the dynamic clothing over you can have a number of different results. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the weight or friction of an item to get the fit that you want. Often the clothing comes with different versions, like dress lengths, collar types and so on. Here is Victoria again this time correctly draped in the same pose :

dynamic clothing fully draped

So there you have it! A nice looking render with out any poke-through at all!

Now, I’ll show you another pose and render to give you an idea of how the drape works.

 Dynamic clothing with muscles!

Dynamic clothing over muscles, breathe in and dance!

This is Victoria in her slightly beefier look, (done some weight training I think!) and as you can see the dynamic clothing has accurately followed the pose and the character build type changes easily!

There is a great deal more to dynamic clothing than this of course, but I couldn’t possibly fit it all into a single blog.

Leave me your comments, and let me know what you would like to know about and I’ll do my best to help you out!

Happy Rendering!
