I am so glad I found VWD, been like a kid in the candy store since I got it! Some recent dress, hair and romance work...!

Beauties at Rest. (With a B&W version on Deviant Art: http://fav.me/da5k84t )

Hair was done in VWD; it is brilliant for it btw. :)

Used Daz Studio and Blender; the sheet was draped in Blender. Haven't yet tried it in VWD, but I will.

Gorgeous render I love it

Hello,

Bravo for all your renders!

And here is my last one. An old Victoria 4 dynamic clothe (Oriental Dream) on Genesis 2. 5 simulations without any problems in VWD. In the poser clothe room I didn't had any success. It's also with using the plug for DS4 by Phil

This is very nice love the draping

Nice render.

OK, decided to turn it into a render, entitle: Dressed to Kill.

What hair did you use for this? It's really nice and I am looking for something like it...

Aw wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing stuff!!! I'm currently waiting on the VWD bridge to Daz being released, renders/animations like yours make me feel demented, lol! XD

LOL--hey thanks...I know right--there's something to be said for the fluidity of motion and this is a product that can only get better with time...have you asked about closed beta testing?

Hey--I just sent you a Renderosity email with some suggestions :-)

Writers_Block posted at 12:18PM Mon, 01 August 2016 - #4278122

Neighbourhood is for parts that are not connected, so useful for hair: the upper parts, and say making sure buttons stay where they are supposed to and not drop on the floor.

Nice. Sounds like the equivalent of Daz Studio Rigid Follow Node, its influence area.

Hey guys--I just finished a Portalz Teaser that has some of the VWD renders in it--those who have seen my earlier VWD works may recognize some of the clips --

PORTALZ TEASER

So, guys... You've likely seen me around the forum, eagerly fan-girling over every VWD related thing out there... Well, guess who's had the fantastic pleasure of becoming a beta-tester? Both the hair and dress have been through VWD!! The dress is actually a V4 one, the figure Genesis 3 Female... But when she started off on V4, that's the dress she made her very first appearance in!

I won't lie, the hair was murder to get simulated, but that was purely because of my own inexperience. But I hope you guys like it!!! You guys have no idea how happy I am right now with this, I could burst into confetti!! x3

Looks good

Use vertex extension for hair. Dont have lots of springs.

When you get the dynamic parameters up, I use vertex extension, with Distance Min selected and set to 0.27; set Distance to 0.3. Then click apply parameters and generate, otherwise you get default settings if you use 'Hair' at the top.

Thank you so much for the advice!!! I'm a bit shocked that I have to use vertex extension for hair - I've been using neighborhood all this time! I can't wait to try out your settings though, thank you! =D

Sorry I meant vertex neighbourhood. Generally extension doesn't work as all the parts are not connected. Vertex neighbourhood with the settings as indicated. I've had simulations with well over 30 million springs, but it is painfully slow.

I've tried extension; and I plan to again, as could actually set stiffness in vertices groups and apply it to the upper part of the hair using vertex neighbourhood, with vertex extension for the lower part.

Writers_Block : I don't understand why you have to use these parameters. Could you tell me the hair you use.

This was Silvana hair. A million springs for this, I didn't use the reduce springs option, was testing out the new VWD now I figured out why it wasn't working.

I loaded using vertex extension, and used vertex neighbourhood on the upper part and vertex extension on the lower; worked well.

Hey! Wanted to share some draping and dynamics tests I did recently with legacy clothing--yes, I am having waaay too much fun over here lol

I find that using both vertices and neighborhood options does work well...

@Writers_Block : thank you for this superb image. I am happy the hair works correctly now.

@Sepiasiren : Thank you for these marvelous animations. I think I will soon ask you to learn me a program that animates clothes and hair.

Lovin these renders! Speaking of loving these renders, did you guys see the new Gallery yet?!?!?

He, new try with VWD on D|Z. G3f with fantasy wrap cloth.

Nice, Akuei2.

PS added a nudity tag to your post. Lol

Jealousy by Kaleya

Animation of dress.

@NolosQuinn : I love the fluidity of the dress. Thank you for this simulation

@VWD - You made this possible. Thank you.

When you create a cloth item, you can choose to use vertices neighborhood or not. If you use it, it basically welds adjacent (but not connected) vertices toghether. This is good because it keeps the cloth from flying apart if it wasn't made to be "watertight". However sometimes an interesting effect can be had by disabling it. I decided to try it.

I disable it on the shirt below but I used vertex tools to select the buttons strip below the chest and FIX them in place. They would not fly apart now but the ones from the chest up would since they aren't connected. I then ran a static sim and manually pulled the shirt around to get it to look like it's being ripped open. I can't think of any other tool I could have used to do this. VWD is brilliant!

If I'd tried to use the standard DAZ dynamic clothing solution, the front of the dress would have fallen down. :)

Love these new renders. Could you all PLEASE post them in the VWD Gallery so we can spread the word & I have some art to do my Staff Picks.... Thanks!

Thank you for these renders. I love them.

Added this to the gallery tonight:

Great image. As a distraction it was a great success; I noticed ther legs, and was too late noticeing the gun... So I'm currently bleeding out on the floor. :(

I've uploaded an image to the gallery. Just VWD on the hair. The bikini didn't need it.:)

Not a perfect render, but a side by side comparision of an animation of a V4 dress on a G2F character.

Vimeo video

Here's a screenshot:

beemeekay, that's a pretty dramatic illustration of the limits of conforming and why dynamic is essential in some circumstances. Up until now Daz Studio lacked that capability almost totally and I think that limited its application, for the reasons you illustrate so well. At least poser always had something.

Hello,

Long time no post !! Here is my last project "Space corsair" inspired by old paintings.

VWD was used for getting more natural feeling (coat, sash, pant, hauberk,...) and for conversion (Genesis Male coat on Genesis Female). Really easy and fun with VWD!

Question: what's your version of the DS4 bridge ? mine: 1.4.0.114

Thanks

Love the image. And yup, same version of the bridge.

Thanks Writer!

I have some troubles with subdivision in VWD (not DS4 subd) do you have the same ? Example with subd = 1.

I rarely use subd. It looks like the mesh is seperated. Perhaps try Vertices neighbourhood, not extension - from Vertex Groups?

You might have to play around with distance too, otherwise parts of material (and hair) can move with other parts.

Hey all, my first post using VWD :) I need to add the hair to the sim, but its a start!

Daz Iray render, that I limited to 30 seconds render time per frame, so its a little grainy.

looks great, and yeh the hair could do with some animation, but it's not a huge issue. Her hands and lower arms are more of an eye catcher.

We're having a little "Render Race"/ Contest for VWD users. Check out this thread HERE!

Hello,

after a long black out (my last trouble was a disk crash and a complete reset of my computer). Let's start with a little creation to warm up. I'm quite happy with the result. An old V4 clothe on G3 simulated with VWD of course! VWD managed perfectly the wrist part so I could put some jewels.

Have a nice WE!

Smaker1, beautiful job!

Adorable, Smaker1! Very nice drapes.

Thank you both.

I really love VWD: with arms against the body VWD still manage correctly the simulation.

Smaker1, Your image is really beautiful. I love all your renderings. I am very pleased you love VWD. I've made an image for the "Most Valuable Product of the Year Award". I tried to do a realistic scene. VWD has been used for the bed, the dress and the hair.

Here is the image. Sorry!!

@ VirtualWorldDynamics It's just brilliant.

Hello Philemot,

Thank you for your comment. These simulations have been made using a brilliant tool that you know a bit, named "Bridge for Daz Studio". ;-) Thank you for writing this marvelous tool.
