Dforce one person in my scene at a time

KeithH

Hi -

I have 5 people in my scene. I only want to simulate the DForce on one person at a time. I am unsure how to do that.

Thank you.

I make the others invisible but you can also turn off "Visibility in Simulation" in the Surfaces panel. A handy tip when clicking on the little eye (visibility) icon next to the figure is to use CTRL-Left-Click which will make the figure and everything parented to the figure invisible.

There is also a Freeze Simulation option in the Parameters pane with the item(s) selected. You can also select the items you want to simulate (both the dynamic items and abny items they need to collide with) and use the Simulate Selected command from the Simulation Settings pane's option menu.

 Yes - I forgot about that but that's part of the reason I stopped using that method: I would forget that I had Freeze enabled and scratch my head about why my clothes wouldn't simulate.

Thank you - Will try that later in  the week. Right now rendoring without doing DForce - I always find my pose mistakes after a render not before.

I'd highly recommend using dForce Companion. It makes it much easier to keep track of which items are and are not frozen, among other things.
