Hello

I thought it might be interesting to clothify a figure so he could fall thru the air and hit with a degree of realism.

I chose the Freak but Poser does NOT allow me to clothify him..if I click on body nothing happens and if I click on like head or hip it will calculate the dynamic but Freak doesnt move.

Please advise and thank you.

Maybe try converting him to  a prop first? That might help.  But I've never tried it, so no promises, hehe

Import the geometry directly from the runtime/geometries folder .

sounds like you want soft body dynamics or ragdoll physics , neither of which poser has . There is a poser physics plugin that you might have a look at .

Thank you both.

I saw a render once where V4 had been clothified to a chair and was draped over it like an empty discarded skin.

WOW! I'd love to know how to do that!

I wish I could remember where I saw it LOL the artist did kind of explain somewhat how to do it. I'm sure I bookmarked it but I can't for the life of me find it. :/

Is this the sort of thing you are after? Done with PoserPhysics, it's a 24 frame anim pose. I just laid Freak down, set 24 frames, and ran the simulation. Gravity did the rest! :) If you want it just holler :)

To clothify a figure in an animation, export it, using the export function in poser.  LOWER polygon models ARE preferable! Lower the faster! Most figures have vast amounts of polys and they can lock up the cloth room if too big in number!

When it works, it's hysterically funny to watch a figure go down like a punctured blow-up doll!

not bad, raven!  FWUMP!

I'd bet if the figure you had were one of Dimension3D's 2nd Skin Figure; and you exported a .OBJ of that, then Clothification would have a special result.

Here's the link to the post. I described how I did it in my next post.

Wow thanks, fivecat.

Morph will look into that 2nd skin.  Thank you.

if this refers to shrink-wrapping, philc and cage have scripts for that IIRC.

Clothify obj is easy but simulation takes ages. You must only import obj, make new group and weld it (or select "weld body parts"). Another way all body parts drops separately.
Raven simulation is much more impressing IMO. I do not understand how did you do it Raven. Is it cloth simulation? (did not read carefully - poser physic - I must try it)

BTW clothing body parts can be used to make great morphs. I think NGM could be made with clothing.

Yes, it works fine, see link to my image. It is easy to get it to collapse like a pile of clothes, as was said above you export all the parts you want as obj, reimport them and run the simulation. I wanted to retain some semblance to the original figure, particularly the head. I kept a copy of the original vicki and constrained the neck, forearm and hands of the obj-v4 to the corresponding figure V4. (Obj V4 had no head). The rest was in the setting so the material is a bit stiff and doesnt collapse into an unrecognizable hip. You can get some entertaining results if you use choreographed groups - like stretching the arms like an elastic band:)
