Tuck dynamic pants into boots

n.jmurov

Is there a civilized way of doing that? The boots are non-dynamic. The only thing I can think of is hiding the bottom of the pant legs with the geometry editor but that keeps crashing DAZ for some reason. Thanks.

You could give the boots a smoothing modifier and make the pants the collision item maybe
and perhaps enlarge the boots first frame on an animated drape bringing back to size over 30 frames

One option is to do an animated drape, and use an invisible torus that gradually shrinks to pull the trouser ends in (or scale the boots up and shrink them back to normal).

Many thanks. I thought about most of these solutions, just thought there was some option specifically for that in DCC that I wasn't aware of. Dynamic clothing in DAZ = sleepless nights :-)

Does the cloth collision algorithm consider the normals on the object it's colliding with? Like, could an inside-out cylinder with normals pointing inward be used for belts?

if it does you can use the Geometry Editor Tool to flip the normals as negative scaling doesn't work to flip normals anymore. Happened a few DS4 versions ago.
