Dynamic Clothing for Genesis Not Loading

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

It may be because I bought this awhile ago, but I thought I'd ask: The product was called Dynamic Clothes -- SuperSuit -- World's Finest -- Shadow Cape M5 Hero. So it wasn't just the SuperSuit for Genesis. That still works. It is an Add-on, so to speak, with Hero Cowls and Capes, including for a Batman character and a Superman character. I checked, by the way, in the DAZ Studio panes tab, and I still have the Dynamic Clothing feature there and I can load it up. 

Anyway, this product for Michael 5 or Genesis is supposed to load with a cowl or cape or a kind of batman mask and cape. Then, with Dynamic Clothing, I should be able to get it to fit and drape more properly on the character. But, whenever I click to load a mask and cape, DAZ Studio (4.15.0.2, Pro, Macintosh, 64-bit) immediately crashes. Now, I also realize that the product was developed well before the current version of DAS Studio was released.

But, anyway, the product no longer works. Does anyone know why? Or, is there something I can do to get it to work?

    Tried to check the logfile yet? That might be able to give you some leads.

    Well, as usual, I can't figure out what the log file means. Whatever it encountered is probably in here. Maybe someone can clue me in:

    Well, hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will figure out what I can do. The Dynamic Clothing contains some really good items (see screen shots). And there's even more than I've shown here. It's listed in Genesis under Dynamic Clothes -- Supersuit -- World's Finest. I can't even find it in the Store anymore. Has it been removed?

    It's still in the store: Supersuit World's Finest I have it installed and it's stil working for me (I'm also on DS 4.15.0.2). I loaded a Genesis male, dialled up his M5 Hero morph, loaded the "Shadow Cape M5 Hero", posed him a little (just the arms for the purpose of my test) and ran the dynamic drape.

    Now I did used to get crashes trying to load any dynamics saved as .daz files (like these) in an earlier version of Daz Studio (I can't remember which, but might be able to find my forum posts about it) - but I'm not having that problem in DS4.15 at all.

    EDIT: Actually I mis-rememberd - I didn't get crashes as such, the clothes just failed to load in DS4.11.

    @MelanieL: Thanks very much for letting me know this. Now, I'm on a Macintosh, running Catalina: 10.15.7. Could that be it? Or, is there anything I could do to get this product to work for me? Hopefully, someone can help.

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,377

    Actually I mis-remembered - I didn't get crashes as such, the clothes just failed to load in DS4.11, as did many .daz format product files.

    I'm on Windows 7 Pro, so have no idea whether the Mac makes the difference, or if it's something else.

    I assume you have the correct version of Dynamic Cloth Plugin installed? Mine shows 1.11.0.2 which matches DS4.15.0.2 (the last two sets of digits must match). Do you have the (purchased) full plugin, or the free version included in Daz Studio? (Mine is the full purchased version).

     Also your log extract stops very early, before you even loaded M5 or the cloak. Is there more to see? (I realise that the last part of the log often gets truncated when there is a crash).

  • inquireinquire Posts: 2,186

    @MelanieL: For the Dynamic Cloth Plugin, it shows 1.11.0.2, the same as yours. It says Basic, so I guess that's the free version. Would it make a difference, do you think, if I bought the full version? How would I go about buying the full version? Is it this: https://www.daz3d.com/dynamic-clothing-control The Dynamic Clothing Control?

    Yes, I'm afraid the log got truncated when DS crashed (over and over again, as I tried).

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,377

    Yes, that's the right product, but I wouldn't rush to buy it full price just yet (especially as it's full price).

    Give me a few minutes and I'll uninstall the full version and see whather the cloak still loads - if it does then you must have a different problem.

  • inquireinquire Posts: 2,186

    @MelanieL: Oh, thanks very much for taking the time and doing this test.

    If you are just reading this, @inquire , then scroll down to my last post.

    Sorry that took a little bit longer than I hoped.

    The good news (?) is: I uninstalled the full Dynamic Clothing Control and the cape still loaded fine.
    The bad news is: weirdly the drape didn't work as well (even though I wasn't using any of the advanced parameters). I was surprised so I reinstalled the full version and tried again - it was definitely better with the full version. I'm attaching viewport screenshots of the Basic and Full version to show what happened (look at his chin).

    Anyway, it seems it's not the version that is causing your troubles, so it looks like it's premature to buy the full plugin - let's see if we can get the basic one working first.

    First: do you have any other Optitex clothing items you could try? If not, there used to be a bunch of freebies on their store page - maybe you could try one of those?

    This is the link: http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/FreebieDownload01.php

    (If it doesn't work try the indirect route: http://www.optitex-dynamiccloth.com/ then click on Freebies - Daz Freebies.

    ETA: Most of the clothes are for Victoria 4 and Michael 4, but if you go to page 14 there are a couple of Genesis items there.

    And now the really bad news: I spotted someting in the forums (via Google search) about problems with Mac OS. Then I went and looked at the product page again and saw the bottom line of the Details section where there are these magic words:

    • Please note: this product does not work on Mac OS.

    I think you said you bought this "some time ago" so unfortunately the 30-day return option is not available to you. Looks like you need a Windows PC wink

    @MelanieL:

    OK, well thank you for all of your time. I actually did get a saved character with the supersuit and the cape and the cowl and hood to load up. And I posed him. I draped the cape. It worked. For the cowl and hood: well, the hood worked; the cowl was a little messy, as in your first attachment version above. So, maybe I'll try parenting items from one character to another. 

    It must have worked earlier, because I remember working with it. Maybe OptiTex didn't keep up with changes to the Mac OS? That's about all I can figure.

    But, again, thank you very much.

  • inquireinquire Posts: 2,186

    I managed to parent the cape, cowl and hood to a Genesis 8 character. And I've run the OptiTex Dynamic Clothing plugin on a posed figure. I got it to work. But again, this is from the saved scene subset. If I try to load from the Content Library, it crashes DAZ Studio. Any idea why it would work one way and not the other? Is there a way to contact OptiTex?

    When I bought the set (January 2015) there was no note about Mac on the product page (I always take a print to pdf when I buy) so I think it must have worked on earlier Mac OS's. I looked through several of the products marked "Optitex" and some now have that disclaimer, others don't. I suspect someone may have raised a ticket about those products and Daz's response was something like: "we can't make it work, so we'll just put a warning on the product page".

    As far as I can recall, "Optitex" was just a PA name used by the man who worked with Daz to bring this kind of dynamics to Daz Studio. I believe he got a different job some years(?) ago and is no longer involved. The World's Finest set is a co-creation with SimonWM. Simon may know more about this, but he's not posted in the forum for years. Other than that it's ticket time, but as I say I suspect they will just say "can't be done".

    As to why one way works and the other doesn't, well I have no idea.

    Just a thought: have you tried loading your old scene subset that works, detaching the clothing item from the character, deleting the character and anything else from the scene then saving just the clothing item as a scene subset of it's own, to see if that can be loaded?

    Alternatively, do you have an old Mac lying about on which you could load each clothing item and save as a scene subset ito see if that would work. I'm clutching at straws here! But this is what I did back in DS 4.11 when the .daz files wouldn't load - I loaded them in DS4.6 and saved as subset (they then sort of worked in DS4.11).

    Good luck.

    OK, well thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I did something similar. I loaded a G8 Male into the scene subset, which had a Genesis male with the Suit, Cape, and Cowl. I parented the cloting to G8. Worked. That's Dain 8 HD in the Screen Shot.

    By the way, is there a chance that this OptiTex product might work with dForce items?

    This may coincide with the war between Apple and nVidia. Nothing to see with Daz unfortunately. Mac and any nVidia consumer grade don't work together. So your graphics card could be causing the whole thing to crash. And Daz can't do anything about it.

    It's worth a try adding a dForce dynamic surface modifier to it and see what the simulation does. I've tried it on a couple of Optitex/Khory gowns and got quite good results. Worst case: it will explode horribly! 

  • inquireinquire Posts: 2,186

    Well, I wasted a great deal of time today. I do have an older iMac and I opened DS, and opened each of the OptiTex items. Then, I saved each as a Scene Subset. Finally, I emailed them back to myself. But, when I try to open the scene subset on the Power Mac, I get error files, and a kind of rectanglar oblong is what I end up with. (See screen shots.) 

    I don't even know what those messages mean, but does anyone know if there's a way around this?

    I believe I know what the messages mean.

    Basically when you save a scene subset (or anything) that originated in older formats (.obj files or in the case of Optitex dynamics .dso and .dsv files) they get converted to the more modern format of .dsf files and stored in the Data folder under the subfolder "auto_adapted". You would need to send that subfolder back to yourself and copy it into your existing Data folder in your content library, then they should work.

    (Sorry, I didn't think of that before, because I have an old version of Daz Studio installed alongside DS4.15 on the same PC with the same content libraries, so the problem didn't arise for me.)

  • inquireinquire Posts: 2,186

    @MelanieL: Thank you so very much! I never would have figured anything like this out without your help. I had more files to move over, because there were more items, as I guess you know. And yes, I can load them all up and parent them and render them, even to G8 figures. Well, you certainly do know your stuff.

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,377

    Happy to help. I'm glad you got it all working - though rather more effort than expected!

  • inquireinquire Posts: 2,186

    Here's a "Batman" I did, using the Dynamic Cape and Hood and Cowl, and the Genesis Supersuit, all parented to a G8 guy (Dain 8 HD).

    Thank you, MelanieL for sharing your knowledge and time!  I like what inquire is doing with the clothing and figures.

    Love the Batman render!  Everything fits great and the cape flows really well.  Congratulations on getting this working!
