Convert old wearables to Genesis 8 + dForce

Noah LGP

Hi,

There are so many things I would like to upgrade like Dynamic wearables for example.

I would like to learn how to do it, where can I find a complete tutorial ?

Richard Haseltine

I'm not sure there is a complete tutorial - for one thing the process will depend on the garment, some just need a dForce modifer applied while others would really require weight maps and perhaps regrouping or even  a fair bit of remodelling work.

So it's a task more complex than I thought. 

There is no "magic" tool which can do the job ?

Richard Haseltine

No. Issues can be mesh that intersects itself, mesh that isn't actually welded together in a continuous piece, buttons and so on (which probably need to be split off and made into Rigid Follow Nodes), clothes that are welded and non-intersecting but are so open that they just fall straight off, clothes with fancy shaping that just collapse into loose swags, clothes that stand off so far from the skin that the hem drops several inches when simulated ....

oh okay, a lot of various situations which requires a particular attention.
