Christmas 2023

I saw not dforce, but dynamic for M4 by the past on Daz. By Optitex, so such dynamics aren't for Poser.
But for those being Prime, it worth it to reclaim the freebie anyway, then to check.
And I'm not sure, but maybe you can take a dynamic for Poser to convert in a .cr2. I think I saw that once, from Poser dynamic to a cr2.

Well if you think about it they are all made from mostly .obj files. Cr2 is for conforming clothing that uses version of the rigging of the figures they are made for, and for Poser Figures, Cr2 is practically the only Poser figure format, no matter what type of figure it is, whether a vehicle, human or animal or fantasy creature, clothing, figure type hair, or machinery that has rigging for moveable part purposes. Dynamics of any type is something I don't know much about, but I'm sure that most of that type of product is also made mainly from .obj files. Of course there are other model formats, many being proprietary to the applications that use them, and perhaps there are dynamic types for those applications, if they can have them. I don't know, for instance what formats are dynamic for Blender, but I do know Blender has dynamics. I'm sure that other applications do also.

The dynamic for Poser is in pp2 format. Either the geometric code is in a .obj format, or it's directly in the .pp2 format.

I suppose dynamics would be a type of Pose. All I'm saying is that the clothing needs to be based on some type of geometric model. The dynamics comes in as the way the geometry behaves, or to be more specific, they way it moves, and how it acts with other geometry models, like the figure that is wearing a dynamic clothing item. The Dynamic clothing has collision programming that prevents poke through. I suppose the Dynamic programming can be Poser .pp2. But isn't the Cloth Room in Poser part of how it works?
In DAZ Studio, Optitex uses animation to make the dynamic clothing work. I once did a piece that had my female figure doing a flip with a half twist in an attack move. Her dress was behaving the way it would with that type of movement. When it reached the frame that showed the figure and the dress in the pose I wanted, I rendered that frame larger. I had another figure being kicked by that move, falling back and twisting around from the blow. I don't know what happened to that render, but it was awesome looking. That was done with the DAZ Studio Optitex Plugin, and an Optitex optimized Dress for V4. That was like 8 or 9 years ago, and I cannot find the image now. I thought I had it on the computer I now use, but it isn't.

The pp2 gives infos to the programs, which calculates what is necessary to do with infos that you added in the Cloth Room.
A pp2 for a dynamic isn't different from a standard pp2. You can even add a simple shape like a place and simply with the Cloth Room transform it in a "fabric in the wind".

EDIT: There were issues with the freebie of today at Daz (apparently, all freebies cost few money for a while). It was fixed. You find the link for today in the first message of topic.
Also, for today, they share again freebies of the beginning of their freebie offer. If you missed them, they are available today only again.
dForce Simple Formal Dress for Genesis 9
NG Ankle Socks for Genesis 9
Toilet Seat Prop
dForce Iden Beard for Genesis 9

So using Poser Dynamics, I could make a house ripple in the wind? Would I like to see that? Yes I would! LOL

For a house, I suggest a very strong computer

Advent Calendar is over officially all around the world; but in case you missed one or the other freebie(s) at Daz, it's back at that link (but you find direct links also in first message of topic)
https://www.daz3d.com/holiday-freebie
Only for today, so last chance!
You find also the freebie of today on that link.

And if you missed a day or more at Rendo, it's also possible to take today those you missed! Only a little more than 16 hours left.

CR2   Character file. Anything with rigging.
PP2    Prop file. Anything without rigging.
They are interchangeable.

Poser dynamic is a simple OBJ file with collision between OBJ vertex and face detected and an offset provided. Delaunay triangles are the best geometry for the colliding OBJ.

You are not going to "ripple" a house with dynamics. You might use the physics engine to do it but I haven't tried such a thing. It is beyond easy to ripple a flag with respect to Wind Force using dynamic cloth.

Poser's Cloth Room has absolutely nothing to do with making or deploying dynamic cloth. It is a way to transfer rigging from one CR2 into another group of one or more OBJ files to make a new CR2 file. Conforming cloth not dynamic cloth.

There are multiple ways and plug-ins to do cloth in Blender. Each is different and separate technique.

I've written ad nauseam on the process over the years. I wrote numerous tutorials on pfdlives at one time as well as Rendo and other places.

For Renderosity, it's over with Christmas freebies.

For Daz, there is a new one today (available also tomorrow and the day after, if the countdown is right).
There are also the 2 newest Christmas freebies of the list.
For the 3 in all, check the first message of topic.

Will take a trip to Daz shortly.....Thanks Aelin
