Dforce for a necklace

bwise1701

Does anyone have a suggestion for simming a necklace? I've tried adding a bunch of rigid attach nodes to the Dforce necklace available in the store - but its very unstable. It distorts like mad - and tweaking almost any paramter causes the sim to error out and requires a Daz restart. 

I just want to be able to sim a pearl necklace so it can ahandle normal neck rotations

-thanks

I've tried a bunch of things and none work great.

You best option, IMO, isn't dForce but to make every pearl a seperate bone and to adjust each one individually as needed when auto follow doesn't work.

Thanks but the whole point is to not have to rig and manually pose it. Seriously - Dforce doesn't support something like this? This why Daz feels like a toy program. Theres notthing like rigid body sim?

Is there at least documentation somewhere of what the basic stiffness damping parameters control? I cant seem to alter a stiffness or damping value from defaults by even tiny increments without the sim erroring

This is the documentation https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/203081/dforce-start-here

And no, you can't do rigid body simulation. Even if you turn all parameters to maximum values they will still deform, although less.
