Trying to simulate dforce but the figure keeps moving

DefaultName

I've selected all > children > clear animation, and I've tried clearing the pose and the figures but Dforce INSISTS on starting it with my figure before it was posed and it is the most frustrating thing as it is ruining dforce.

How to I make dforce simulate off the current figure, as I've currently posed it, without reverting and ruining the simulation? Thank you

Open your 'Simulation Settings' pane (the one with the light blue 'Simulate' button), then look down the list on the the left until you find 'Initialization'. Select 'Initialization' with your mouse, then look for 'Start Bones From Memorized Pose', and below that is 'On'.Click on the 'On' button and it changes to 'Off'. This stops the simulation from changing the pose.

Now you can run your simulation, but be aware that some simulations work better with 'On' selected. Experiment!

Thank you so much!

Have fun, and don't be afraid to try your own ways of doing things. That's how the knowledge base grows for all of us.
