Dress exploding

irynakhymych

Hiya guys, so I am having an issue with this dress exploding, I have adjusted the surfaces and yet it explodes anyway. The pose and dress are from here: https://www.daz3d.com/horse-and-rider-poses-and-dress-for-genesis-8. The horse is Daz Horse 2. I have her sitting on the horse, with her hand on her hip - at which point I thought the hand was the problem so I moved it away. Nope - the bottom dress still exploded. I am sure it's the horse but when I simulate w/o the horse, the dress hangs limply and doesn't take on the shape it whould if the rider were sitting on a horse. Help!

Is the horse in position from the begining of the simulation? If so the dress will be intersecting with it, and that will cause the explosion. You probably need to do a play range simulation (Simulation Settings) and use the Timeline to start with the horse below ground before moving up to its final position, hopefully pushing the dress aside as it goes. (Looking at soem of the product shots, have the horse forward as well as below the figure so that the dress will be carried back as it moves into position.)
