D-force Clothing Do not Adjust with figure

Modelcraft

Hello,

I am a normal Daz user, who is still in the phase of Learning. When I try to work with D-Force clothing, I face big issues. For example, If I use a skirt on any figure, and change the pose to sitting or lying, the skirt doesn't change as per the pose. Please help me to get this issue resolved. It happens in almost all force dresses. I added a few screenshots below.

Please assist.

Are you using an animated timeline? Also make sure that the skirt isn't intersecting with any parts before the simulation. What skirt are you using?

No Sir, I do Static or a picture only. And how I can check if skirt is intersecting with any part?

The dress in question is:

For me, the skirt's dForce simulation produces excellent seated draping.  

I suspect the OP is posing Genesis 8 but not running any dForce simulation.

Hello, I do images only. So do I also need to run simulations? Also, is there any good video or Guide where I can learn the same? Also, it is not related to dforce-bollywood-bride dress only, but happen with almost every skirt.

You need to change the pose AND then run the dforce simulation, this runs the calculations as to where the dress should finish up in the scene.

 

This video should help get you up to speed with dforce
There are more tutorials on the community tab at the top of this page, click the 'In the Studio' option

yes you need to run the dforce simulation, there is a tab in your DAZ Studio setup called Simulation Settings if it is not you can open it from the window /panes(tabs) then all the way down.

you first times will be experimental, but it's worth learning

and if you go to the Education site here on DAZ you can find several tutarials for d_force use: https://www.daz3d.com/help/dforce

there are even more on youtube

Eparagraphics, the previous two posts point you toward helpful videos--where to find the appropriate tabs and buttons, the order of the steps taken, etc.  Since your only creating still images, I would defer experimenting with animated-timeline simulations until you are getting good results with "Current Frame" simulations.  Work on dForce with the character posed in empty space, and after you feel good about that, work on characters sitting or laying on furniture and the ground or floor.  A long, loose-fitting skirt like on the Bollywood Bride Outfit can be quite tricky when the figure is sitting on a chair or stool.

"Almost every skirt," eh?  Long skirts are the most difficult clothing item for the user (and probably the clothing's creator) to deal with.  They need to bend at the hip and the knee, and that's usually even more challenging than shoulder/elbow/breasts issues with tops.  Many older longer skirts are so much trouble that they can only be used in standing poses, either because the shape of the skirt can't be changed enough, or it can be changed only after excessive time and effort ("more trouble than it's worth").  

Staying with Indian-themed clothes, I find the https://www.daz3d.com/saree-for-genesis-8-female-and-victoria-8 outfit easier and faster to use than the Bollywood Bride outfit, with equally good results in most poses and from most camera angles.  It's a non-dForce outfit, and comparing how to fit the two outfits to a posed figure will give a user some useful experience for thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of conforming vs. dForce dynamic clothes.  Anyway, a new user is well advised to practice with both conventional conforming and dForce dynamic clothing, and working with almost any outfit can provide some useful insights.

Thanks for this video, due to work, I didn't get a chance to finish this but the initial 15 mins give me some understanding. Thanks a lot

Thanks for the information, I will take a look.
