dForce Simulation Surface presets, are there any available to download or purchase?

For me, at least, the simulation settings and descriptions when modifying an object's surface aren't the most clear. Are there any materials specific to how a dForce simulation property reacts? For example, it would be great to apply a material that would make a plane primitive behave like thin rubber, labeled as such, or plastic wrap or burlap, etc. I've searched the store but couldn't find anything. While I realize I could research this and develop these independently, it would be nice to have a canned solution anytime I need something to behave like a specific real-world property.

    The problem is that different topologies, especially mesh density, will behave in different ways with the same settings so ity isn't really posible to have a generic preset for a particular material. This thread has a lot of discussion from when dForce was new, and spawned a set of tutorials in the store https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/208141/how-to-use-dforce-creating-a-blanket-draping-clothes-on-furniture-and-much-more-commercial/p1

    There is this product in the store, but I don't own it to give you any feedback on it. As Richard pointed out, presets like that will behave differently on different items. There is not a solution that will give predictable results for all meshes.

    Check the description of dForce Master (and it's video tutorial), buy it if it fits in with you expect and play around with the settings, while checking the results. Considering that many dForce products come with less than optimal settings, learning to do the changes yourself is better than hoping for a general solution. wink

    For clothes recently I often use the ones in https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-bohemian-style-outfit-for-genesis-9 as a starting point. I'm not sure if it's a strong recommendation, but they just seem to work well for me
