Resizing the Dynamic Tablecloth or any other Dynamic clothe item?

Petra

I tried to resize the Dynamic table cloth , but when I start draping and will go back to its original size.

Is it at all possible to resize dynamic clothing and / or the table cloth in DS?

You can't resize the dynamic items. You can resize everything else, run the drape, freeze the simulation (or export as OBJ/import OBJ) and then reset the scale.

With the full plug in you can try using the scale function; it works well, but can sometimes be fiddly. With that in mind, it can be better to add the amount of shrink in smaller amounts; meaning instead of from 100 to 50, you do 100, 80, 65, 50.

Thank you guys, I shall try those suggestions.

That is the ONLY thing that I think in Poser Dynamic  is better, you can resize and it stays that size, so it is so very easy to use one dynamic cloth item on any size figures from Baby to Giant.

Even with the full plugin the scale settings stretch back to full size, I think nicstt means using the "shrink" dials, which they are totall right about it being finnicky. If you're not using more than one dynamic, you can also just resize the entire scene to be larger and fit the dynamic you want to use.

I do. You can save it as a scene-subset; just be aware data can be saved in ...data\auto_adapted, so if you move items to another computer for rendering you need to make sure that is available too. Useful to back up.

Oh and if you're draping onto planes etc, sometimes it wont work with dub d, and sometimes it wont work unless sub d is applied - no idea what makes the difference.
