So got my shorts converted over to L'Homme, both rigged and dynamic. Rigged needs some work but the dynamic version works very nicely BUT the waistline pulls out a bit from the body at the end of the sim so wondering is there a trick to keep that tight on the body?

Thanks so much!

PS, the shorts are NOTHING special but I like to make my own clothing here and there and the Training Outfit was a clear cut choice to refit to him!

Scale the waist smaller closer to what you want the final shot to look like on around frame 10 or 15. Then set up the sim and the waist will tighten up and settle a bit for the rest of the frames in the sim. Remember that 30 frames is only one second and like cloth moving in the real world you may have to allow more frames (time) to get a good drape.

That drastic probably isn't needed by the look of your render. Check the offsets. Your settings may be stopping the cloth too far from the figure. It looks like you just left everything at the defaults. You want the collisions closer to the figure. Set them in the first step when setting up the sim.

Good for you. I, too, perfer making my own 3D attire.

The weird thing is though the waist is TIGHT as a drum before the drape. If I tightened it any further it would be inside the figure and I'm not sure how that would drape!

Thanks Infinity, I make SOME clothing to keep in practice but never released any commercially and won't until I'm totally happy and satisfied with how it looks and behaves. I did some good work on Genesis 8 Male and submitted here to the 'Rosity marketplace but since the clothing and hairy bits (fibermesh) were all designed to work with just a couple of shapes it was rejected as they wanted it to all to fit allot of shapes. Not sure if they were aware of the autofit tool working behind the scenes that does make most stuff like that work with just about any shape (within reason)?

(Sinister, annoying pain in the ass enters room)

Looks like you should re uv around the hems, some stretching going on. Not difficult to fix.

UV is fine, it's just a quick shader I threw together to throw on the garment to have it look acceptable to show.

Ah. Carry on then Lol.

YER FUNI!

The parameter you may want to check is collision distance in the prop's collision settings.

Default value is 0.5 cm. You may want to reduce to 0.2 or less. Poser uses this parameter to determine whether a vertex of the simulated object has collided with the collision geometry. It is normally used to prevent poke-thru and falll-thru and you can use it to simulate cloth thickness or clothing layers underneath.

Alternatively put the vertices of the waistband in the 'constrained' group. They will then not be pushed away from the figure to the collision distance.

Yer likely to alternately throw tantrums and sob if not spoonfed information lol

Thank you so much. Useful info. I'll give that a try!
