Laundry Day Old School

I'm looking for suggestions for a pile of clothes, loosely heaped or a mess of cloths or a basket with sleeves or sock hanging over. I remember seeing a model of strewn clothing on the floor but don't remember if it was freebie or not or where. Stuff to hang on a clothesline, too, like socks or underwear and so forth. Maybe with a ripple, as if the wind was blowing across the line. Doesnt even have to be free, but it seems like a good place to ask, cause free is good.

I have been thinking of the whole clothes on floor and such and one idea I had you could use is taking something like a shirt and in the parameters section, for sizing clothes, you could play with those to make them flat and then use the items own morphs to simulate movement by using the sitting morphs and such. It's worth a shot.
I use teh washing props from Daz store and then drop dynamic clothes into/on/over the wash basket, freeze, and keep piling and save as a new obj prop.
@CalieVee
I just tried out your suggestion of flattening the garment model. It's going to depend on how the garment was constructed. I found two men's shirts that had parts that moved away from the rest of the model when I squished on the z axis and used an "open" morph. But a jacket looked ok from the front "hanging" on the line. I'll experiment with some others, now that I know that happens. Obviously, I won't need the entire model, only the part that looks laundry-ish.
@belovedalia
That's a good suggestion, too. Problem for me is I've never figured out how to use the dynamic tool. I'm using DAZ 4.0, which has a dynamic function. I don't know if it is a full use tool.
I have the clothesline in the backyard of the "TheTenement" by 3dCritter. It's the old pulley-reel type with a nice gentle sag. I'm just going to use wood-textured cylinders for clothes pegs. I've got the "Good and Clean Tub and Pail Set" by Capsces with a nice washboard and sudsy water. The sleeve poking up through the suds surface looks nice so far.
I have these and can get a few more done in a day or two...
@mjc1016
Ooh! Nicely done! Those have the nice peaks where the clothespins pinch and lovely droopiness. I can use these, but you mentioned...more? Thank you so much!
Moved to the Commons as it is a request for, not an offer of, a freebie.
I'll have a dress, another shirt, a pair of socks, bedsheet and pillow case and a 'bonus', tonight or tomorrow...
Basically I'm taking several of the clothing items I've made (not all are finished yet) and running them through a cloth simulation in Blender. It takes some time to adjust them.
All the items will be UV mapped and have at least one basic texture...they'll be PP2 files that load at about shoulder height.
Not exactly what you're asking for, but related:

One of the Morphing Business Suit sets contains static clothing props (look like folded clothes): https://www.daz3d.com/mbs-expansion-2-suit-props/
Might be neater than what you're looking for, but mixed with other items in a clothes heap these might be useful. Marieah's store is on sale today, too...

I'm looking foward to seeing your efforts-much appreciated! But this is not commercial so there is no immediate hurry.
@Taozen
that is a nice set of laundry tools. I like the laundry basket in particular. Thank you for pointing that out.
@Scott-Livingston
Thank you for the tip. The Business Suit by Marieah and Sickleyield is interesting for gents' clothes. I almost bought it when it came out. I just checked today and the format is listed as .dsf, which I can use in DAZ4.0. I think it was in .duf only initially. I haven't tried "folding" the garments that I have.
Here is three bathrobes, on floor, over box & hanging on hook.

In 3ds format, free.
@nitehawk_ltd
very nice on the floor and sagging models for "prewash sorting". Thank you for that link.
I'm having a bit of a problem with the bedsheet...it keeps wanting to fall through the clothesline during the drape. If I can get it to drape properly, I may still be able to get this up tonight.
But here's the 'so far'...
Here you go, closet filler.

Folded & hung up.

@nitehawk_ltd
both of these model sets are very nice for my project, and I especially like the clothes on the floor. Thank you for the links.

Press "CTRL"+F and do a search for Dropped Clothes
@BWSman
ah yes,Gerald's site. The promo for the dropped clothes is funny. Thank you for steering me back to his site-he has a lot of great freebies.
I've been working on some aspects of 'laundry day', getting my Vicky poses set up for sorting, scrubbing, hanging up clothes.
Here is a quick render in DAZ Studio to get an idea of my WIP which will be rendered in Bryce after I get the items loaded. I have a couple of views in mind for several scenes. Some of the suggested items have been incorporated in this scene. When the scene is done I will do a full acknowledgement of the items used. Garden Shed, Gerald Day, Ockham's Hwy 66, Adam Thwaite, Good clean items, and so on.
Has anyone heard from mjc1016? I hope they are allright. I was looking forward to those great hanging clothes.
