Additional Details

    • Single frame method:
      • 1. Apply Simulation Preset Provided: “Simulate Single Frame”
      • 2. Load Genesis
      • 3. Load Hair and apply material and style presets
      • 4. Apply a pose to the figure, and (if required) apply a starting hair pose to make sure the hair is not intersecting shoulders or other bodyparts.
      • 5. [Optionally] click “Simulate” to drape dForce Hair
      • 6. [Optionally] and/or use hair morphs/poses to enhance final drape movement
    • Timeline method:

      • 2. Load Genesis
      • 3. Load Hair and apply material and style presets
      • 4. Go to frame 15 and apply a pose to the figure, and (if required) apply a hair pose to the hair. (Make sure hair doesn't pass through the body between frame 1 and your applied poses in frame 15 or else add intermediate poses in between those two frames to make sure the hair is not intersecting shoulders or other bodyparts.)
      • 5. [Optionally] click “Simulate” to drape dForce Hair (You may need to extend total frames to 90 or longer to give hair time to settle depending on the pose.)
      • 6. [Optionally] and/or use hair morphs/poses to enhance final drape movement
  • dForce Hair render checklist:
  • 1. Daz Studio must be version 4.11 or later.
  • 2. Nvidia driver is 430.86 or later.
  • 3. dForce Starter Essentials content is installed and up to date.
  • 4. Make sure you haven't currently got a geometry editing tool selected, select the pointer tool (Node Selection Tool) instead and then try to render again.
  • 5. If you are doing viewport renders instead of final (new window or direct to file) renders, apply my “Preview Render On” preset (sets “Viewport Tesselation” 2+ and “PR Preview” on.)
  • 6. System check by loading the free simple mohawk in a new empty scene and test if that renders for you. (Installed with dForce Starter Essentials and found in Content LIbrary > [your library] > People > Genesis 8 Male > Hair > Strand-Based Hair Samples - and also in the Genesis 8 Female folder.)
  • Useage Tips:
    • The hair is best used by posing the tail sections and dForce simulation is optional.
    • If you've already posed the tails and want to run dForce simulation, you can save time by turning off “Start Bones From Memorized Pose” in your Simulation Settings. Applying either of my “Simulate Single Frame” or “Simulate Timeline” will do this for you.
    • Use the provided simulation freeze presets on the parts of the hair you are happy with before running dForce simulation to avoid unecessary calculation. Also turn on Freeze Simulation for other dForce elements in your scene such as clothes if they do not need to drape.
    • You can easily modify hair colours by selecting your own diffuse colour settings for the hair.
    • After posing, use the style and movement morph dials to match you figure's pose and also ensure fitting.
    • You need at least one light in the scene that will provide the specular highlighting!
