D-force Clothes Don't Fall?!!

Ewoodward3

Hi all, 

I looked for this in the existing topics and apparently i'm either using the wrong key words or have otherwise missed it, because i can't believe no one has ever asked this...

So, D-force outfits often have some sort anchoring system that pins them in place to keep them from falling off a model, which is great in general uses. but if i want to create a messy bedroom, or have an outfit that looks like it might fall off, or hang them up in a closet, or put them on a figure they weren't designed for, this anchoring system becomes a real pain. 

Is there a way to turn it off? if so how?

I've included a picture of some D-force outfits to show what i'm talking about, some have dropped like real clothes, but most are hanging from their anchor point.

Thank you in advance for your help

If there are surfaces which have Dynamic Strength set to 0 try setting it to 100%. If that doesn't work, you will need a dForce Weigth Access node from the Createmenu, then switch to the Node Weight paint Brush tool, right-click>Geometry Selection>Select All, check the Tool Settings pane to make sure you are working on influence weights, right-click>Weight Editing>Fill Selected and enter a value of 100%.

you could also remove the dforce modifier (in the simulation submenu) and then reapply it, basically resetting everything

You could export each item as a plain old .obj file.  import them, set the materials, add the dForce modifier and then simulate.
This would also remove all of the extra clutter in your scene hierarchy.  plus you could pre-pose clothing items before exporting to make for more intersting clothing piles or to make sure that an item drapes over the inended object in the scene.

Thank you, all of you. 

I havn't had a chance to try any of your suggestions yet, but I very much appreciate them.
