Richard is an expert on this aspect of Daz Studio and has helped many artists in the Daz forums understand and explore dForce&#039;s capabilities. </p> <p> Richard shares in step by step fashion how to… </p> <p> 1. Add thickness to clothing or props. You can make many dForce items using primitives in Daz Studio but they have no thickness! Using the new Thickener Plugin by Alvin Bemar, Richard demonstrates the usefulness of this utility. He uses a blanket prop in this example and provides his recommendations on using the plugin to best effect. </p> <p> 2. Simulate a car crash! He remarks on what type of car asset is best used for this experiment, using 1stBastion&#039;s Oncoming Traffic: Lo-Poly SUV in this example. He crashes the car in two ways, one with the car moving forward to smash into a cube while the other has the cube moving to hit the car. Richard delves into the types of challenges and some solutions for this type of simulation. </p> <p> 3. Stack a wall of bricks and knock them over. Richard experiments with the physics in this kind of collision, noting the best values for the best effects. </p> <p> 4. Experiment with Shirt Buckling. Using the City Dweller Outfit for G3F and adding a dForce modifier, Richard looks at the effects of altering buckling stiffness, buckling ratio, and density to get the most effective and realistic creasing. </p> <p> 5. Pull a cloth gap together. This exercise is useful for clothing garments like cardigans or dressing gowns. Richard starts from scratch creating his own mesh based on an incomplete cylinder. This is also a good demonstration of the use of helper objects. </p> <p> 6. Apply clothing patches and medals. A common clothing accessory is adding a patch or a badge to a clothing item and dForce can help you do that to make it look like a natural fit. This experiment was a result of a community member asking about military uniforms, where the question of pinning medals on a uniform was also addressed. </p> <p> 7. Create floating swimwear. This experiment simulates swimwear floating on the surface of a swimming pool. Assets used: SwimWear 2 for Genesis 3 Female, dForce Swim Shorts for Genesis 8 Male, Ranch Pool Deck. </p> <p> 8. Quickly create dForce simulation-ready chains. </p> <p> 9. Simulate a character standing on a Slack Line. A slack line is like a tight rope but is 3-4 inches wide so it is easier to balance on and strung between trees so people can walk and practice moves for exercise. </p> <p> This product includes a searchable version of the tutorial set, where you can use an integrated search on any keyword or phrase spoken across the video set.

He got his start with the original Poser and Bryce 3D. In 2001, he wrote his first 3D modeler that evolved into the still available Shape Magic. He began to use Daz Studio in 2012. With a research and engineering background, the physics of dForce grabbed his attention! He decided it would be helpful to others if he shared his learnings and has frequently done so in the Daz forums. </p> </div> <h2 id="product_notes">Product Notes</h2> <div class="level2"> </div> <h3 id="installation_packages">Installation Packages</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> Below is a list of the installation package types provided by this product.
