I've struggled with setting up my own dForce simulations since switching from Poser to DAZ last year. They tend to take too long, plus 9 out of 10 times they explode into mayhem! I'm not looking for exotic curled-up-in-ball poses like one sees in modern clothing promos - usually just a simple standing or dance pose. After watching far too many complex online 'tutorials' where folks seem to spend hours going through the scene's hundreds of objects and manually tweak them one by one, I formulated a simple work-flow for simple folks doing a simple scene! Here is a simple scene with G8F Shaniquah wearing the dForce Universal Dress for G8F with Victorian Maid Expansion #3. Guess she's working for Floyd/G8M now - investing in BitCoin has its ups and downs! Trying to simulate this scene as-is was a disaster - after over 10 minutes of a pegged CPU/MPU with over 3K CUDA cores, her hair was a mess and Percy G8M was buried in an alien invasion of polygons. Since simulation was not even 20% done, I just killed the DAZ process. For this simple hobbyist render, I'm only interested in G8F's dForce dress and apron, not G8M's dForce pants. My steps to solve this with less than a minute's effort are: 1) Select G8F, and do a save-as POSE to a temp folder in my DAZ presets directory. 2) Select G8F again, and do a save-as WEARABLES, selecting only the dress and apron. We don't need her eyelashes, shoes, and so on. 3) Save/close this original scene for later. 4) Open a new scene and re-add G8F - I have a saved 'scene' without hair, eyelashes, or unnecessary clutter-geometry. 5) Apply/merge in the saved POSE plus WEARABLES. The result is the upper-right sub-image. 6) Run dForce simulation with defaults settings - for this dress took less than 30 seconds. Sweet! The result is the lower-right sub-image. 7) Select G8F again, then do a new save-as WEARABLES, selecting only the dress and apron. I overwrite the original file in my DAZ presets temp folder. 8) Discard the temp scene, and reload the original scene. 9) Delete the original dress and apron, and reload/merge the temp WEARABLES. That it - render the main scene, which takes over 10 minutes even with my 3000+ CUDA cores. As mentioned, the entire 'dress simulation' took less than a minute via my indirect hack.
