DAZ|Studio F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Feb 25 7:07 am)
Could it be the pose that you are using. I pose each item separately. The robe, the pants, and the headdress. I use the ManFriday dForce Companion 2 found at the Daz Store. I just randomly selected a pose from the George Pose Collection. Here are the settings I use:
Character is Arji
Here is the pose I used:
Here is my Rendered Image:
Here are the dForce Pane Settings
Can you show me your posed image, maybe I can reproduce it on my end.
I work in Lightwave so export out of DAZ using FBX with the figure zero posed. I then export just the base pose only for the actual pose. It's somewhat like a preset.
Usually, the clothing item just drops as it would from gravity, but for this item it's as if a wind force is present from the right. Hard to tell, but your image might be showing some of that too. I didn't sim the Headdress and the Pants simmed just fine. I have the earlier version of ManFriday's Companion. I used a time range to give it more frame to relax with is all.
Even so, I got really good results with the posed figure.
Thanks for taking the time to test this.
Lightwave is sort of a Phoenix. Been around since early '90's & was instrumental for the Sci-Fi upsurge on TV back then, then movies. Still is. Been in limbo for the past several years, but got bought recently & is seeing new development. I haven't updated yet.
FBX is more a packaging format but has become standard.
So for the characters, I use FBX; for things like props I use OBJ. Oddly, I've not figured out how to IMPORT an FBX into Daz.
One of the big pluses with Daz though is that the FBX format can also export character morphs. Still sorting out differences for 8.0 & 8.1.
I have no idea which version of Daz Studio that you are using but the newer versions come with the FBX plugin which imports/exports the FBX file. I suspect that your problem may be with the rigging and based on that assumption I think the following links may be helpful to you.

If you do not have Blender you might want to download it and do the following
import to Blender and export another .fbx if the original .fbx
wouldn't import to Daz Studio or export from Blender as Collada (.dae). The .dae will come into DS with some things you don't need like a camera and a light, just delete them.
With this method you will not get the exploding .fbx or the .obj single object problems.
Both of those links have good info I've not seen before.
I think you've misunderstood though. I got a usable Robe by NOT simming and then exporting the zeroed pose. I wasn't getting exploding just an odd unexplained wind like force as mentioned.
I'd be curious if that happens with you using the default pose of a G8 or G8.1. I stay current on software, but some months back there were issues with Daz 4.21. Fortunately, I had the previous on my laptop & used that for several weeks. The issues got resolved when there was a update to the Gen9 essentials. I don't use Gen9 but apparently that will affect other things. There was another Gen9 Essentials update recently, so I'm a bit gunshy.
On my to-do list though is to learn Blender. Lightwave doesn't handle dForce hair, but Blender does.

I picked this item up when it went on sale. It's a dForce set of wardrobe, but when I set it up with the defaults, it's as if a dForce Wind is present.

Searching for current info is futile. Nothing recent certainly & mostly complaints that the Head scarf didn't have a morph to reveal to face.
Not a problem for the character I chose, kind of a "blue" man to begin with, and having just his eyes & hands seen adds.

I got a pretty decent sim by futzing with the settings & using a "counter-acting" Wind, but curious why it's happening in the first place mostly.
Anyone have this outfit?
