Sleeve Trouble with dForce Mahaut Fantasy Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s)

dawnblade

I'm having trouble with the sleeves on dForce Mahaut Fantasy Outfit for Genesis 8 Female(s). I've tried several G8F/V8F poses (this one is from Bedazzling Poses), but after running a dforce simulation (default settings with Better or Best for Collision Mode) the right sleeve on her upper right arm renders like this. I've also tried an animation timeline, but it's not any better. This happens with the base G8F as well as this new character, Neiva HD for Victoria 8.

In addition to the sleeve problem, the crease/opening on the front of the dress extends higher on the red part of the bra.

The read me states: "Items may seem bent or broken when applying certain shapes and or poses but will disappear after simulation" so I must be doing something wrong.

Is there any other simulation setting that will fix this issue? I'm more concerned about the sleeve issue than the bra right now. I've watched the dForce video by Daz and used other dForce products, and so far this is the only dress I'm having trouble with.

Can anyone help?

It looks like the mesh is cutting into the character.

Have you tried smoothing?

That said, I usually get best result when using 'Animated' instead of 'Current frame'. Have you tried that?

Thanks @felis. I tried velocity smoothing found in surfaces/simulation with animation but no luck. I'm having some luck with increasing subframes (I'm away from my PC but I think that is what it's called).

You shall be aware that dforce will have problems if it get squished like having her arm close to the body so the dress will be trapped in between. For such situations it is best to leave a little space or exclude that part from dforce simulation.
