3DU G8 Heidi dForce Oufit skirt explodes when simulation runs

WandW

Hi Gang,

When simulating the 3DUinverse Heidi outfit,  ( https://www.daz3d.com/heidi-dforce-clothing-and-accessories-for-genesis-8-females ) it exploded during the first couple of frames.  Trying the shirt and skirt indidually with a base G8F, the problem is with the skirt, which almost instantly blows up.  Is there a trick?  I didn't find any documentation in the readme.

I'm using Genesis 8.0 and Studio 4.15.0.2, the clothes as loaded and the default dForce settings.  Turning smoothing off didn't help.

Thanx in Advance!

I am having so many problems with simulation of different outfits.  :(

Explosions are mostly down to cloth intersecting itself. One way is to use "From memorized pose" so the cloth has time to surface self-impact and not interesect itself while the pose is being run.

There's also a setting in dForce Master that is supposed to stop explosions. I've found it to be very hit-and-miss like much of the Daz universe.

I rarely have issues with clothing exploding. I always make sure the clothing doesn't touch/intersect with itself or anything else before running the simulation. i never use the "From memorized pose" opting instead for my own animated timeline and special posing to make sure nothing intersects before the final pose

It's a cute outfit and I've not had issues.  I thought the panties that come with the outfit preset might be an issue, but they seem fine.  They're on and visible during these sims.  The necklace was not.

Anyway, I loaded up Angel Wings' Shaniquah and tried it on her in a standing and a bending over pose, neither of which is extreme.  These were done From Memorized Bones.  The crouching one was with Memorized Bones OFF, since I knew that there would be a problem.  It still looks fine.  The shirt pokes through the skirt in the crouching pose, so that would need some polygon hiding if you want a view from the front, but that's no biggie.  I turn Memorized Off a lot if I can get a decent result without it.

Nothing exploded during these simulationsm, and I simulated shirt and skirt together.  I guess it depends on the pose?

Thank you for the replies. 

I have been simulating From Memorized Pose, and it is a short skirt, so there isn't much opportunuty for self-collision. 

However, I tried a different pose and it seems to work; I wonder what is odd about the pose, as it blows up in the first few iterations, long before there is enough movement for self-intersection...
