dForce Night Shirt

vonHobo

The dForce Night Shirt was on sale this week so I picked it up and just got around to trying it.

I don't have too many dForce clothing items, but the items that I do have fit nicely without running a simulation. Unfortunately, the Night Shirt is not one of those. The minute you pose the figure the shirt completely deforms. So I guess it's one item that needs dForce to work.

So I ran a simulation that took forever. You can see from the attached picture that at roughly 10 minutes into the simulation, it looks like an explosion. 

I finally just cancelled out of the simulation because it took too long. 

Is there any way to speed up dForce simulations? This seems unreasonable to me. Imagine multiple items of clothing and it will probably take much longer. 

I guess being new to dForce, I'm not sure why it's such an advantage if the simulations take so long. Render times are long enough without even longer durations added on top for simulations.  

Any help would be much appreciated.

From your description, it sounds like the clothing is intersecting the character somewhere. By that I mean it is probably being squeezed between an arm and the torso. Try moving the arms slightly away from the body and see how that works. Also, make sure to clear the simulation every time you finish, because that can have an impact on simulation times, too.
