Way to morph any arbitrary clothing of choice into laundry props

I love the products Fit Control for Genesis 3 Male and Female and have bought both, and one of the invaluable features of it is that you can apply the clothing morphs to just about ANY worn piece of clothing to enable you to pull and tug the garment selectively around and down and stuff. What would really be neat would be if there was a way to do something like that with any arbitrary piece of clothing, but instead be able to turn that pair of pants or that shirt into a dropped-to-the-floor, crumpled up bit of floor-clutter laundry-room prop. Also, to let one drape the item across a chair, or halfway across a table. That is to say, it'd be really useful if there was a morph system with premade forms like that which could instantly be applied onto a clothing article. A couple of morphs to simulate underwear dropped to the floor by someone hurrying to the bed or to the toilet, or by someone hurrying to go skinnydipping, simulate shirts that were flung across the room and landed in various ways across the table or chair, etc, etc. This would consist of various premade dangle-shapes and plopped-down shapes that one could then adjust farther via slide controls to narrow or widen the space the garment is dangling across (say, if the back of the chair it landed across is thicker) and to otherwise twist and turn them to fit the place they landed as needed.
I came across a morph pack for shirts, and another for pants (I think it was), over at sharecg, but its tied to a specific shirt and a specific pair of pants someone else made at Rocity (I think it was) and at some other freebie place (I think it was), respectively, which I haven't grabbed yet (but I did grab those morph packs), however, it would be useful to have a lot more variety in clothes that one could apply such morphs to, and to not be limited to just a certain very arbitrary and narrow set of garments that someone happened to do morphs for specifically.

free there is Blender
paid there is Carrara, Poser or Virtual World Dynamics and the DAZ studio plugin
Carrara is often on sale and softbody physics with props very good, it just does not do dynamic clothing on rigged animated figures, it will a stationary one if you convert the clothes into a prop by exporting and reimporting it as an obj with morphs and skinning ticked.
You can export the obj to use as a morphloader pro morph in DAZ studio too.
While It's not perfect, there's this morph available free on sharecg that you might find handy.https://www.sharecg.com/v/86616/browse/21/DAZ-Studio/Clothes-Hanging-Morph
Yeah, saw that one already, but didn't grab it. The ones I did grab, and that I was obliquely refering to above, are this one and this one, there is also a set of very short socks there somewhere that had this treatment applied, and that I grabbed. But my problem is that what I specifically need are a variety of pants (short and long) and underpants that have this sort of morph applied to them, and I haven't seen anything like THAT so far.
This is function of gravity, so I would say this is doubtful until Daz Studio adds a physics-based system.
Well, I was more envisioning it being based on a preset set of morph shapes that merely LOOK like the germent was dropped, but that you could then take and stretch and shift as needed within that shape. It would work similarly to how Fit Control for Genesis 3 Male and Female lets you pull parts of ones pants open or to the side or down and stuff while wearing them, the main difference here being you'd do so with them on the ground instread of wrapped around a character. In any event, some other makers have already made clothing morphs like I'm looking for, I'm just saying it'd make sense to have a much larger variety of them, and be ones that aren't tied to a specific garment, since Fit Control isn't tied to any one particular garment, but still lets you pull and twist them anyway.
But yeah, baked morphs like this woudn't be necessary if DS had something like Poser's "cloth room" and the ability to apply cloth physics to any aribitrary flexible object.
I love clothing as props. I use laundry day a lot and ther are also a few clothing sets which include clothing and shoes as props
Yeah, I already have Laundry Day Mega Set and also Messy Laundry Mega Set in my wishlist. hehe.
If you need some other sets of clothing, they're not perfect, but they all have "drop to floor", "Fold" and "Hand morphs in it". You can look over at my Freebies at Share-CG.

it would not be easy, creating a "Fit for all" morph, that still looks realsitic. You really need a tool able to do some physics calculations, as the above mentioned. I create the morphs in Marvelous Designer itself, after creating the cloth i do several simulations to create those morphs.
(Goes and looks) Oh, hang on, ALL of your clothes sets have drop-to-floor versions? :D :D :D
**Hugs you**
Okay, I guess now mainly I just need boys underwear and boys cut-off pants as floor clutter. Any sign of those out there somewhere?
Old thread but was a current problem for me! Found a workaround I wanted to share if anyone else finds this thread. Works with any piece of clothing but has some limitations.
Simple really, load in a duplicate figure and hide everything except the item of clothing. That way the clothing will still be parented to a figure, so the transform tools can be used freely without warping the fit, and you'll have full access to whatever body morphs and poses you have installed to further shape the piece of clothing.
Not the fanciest solution, but was effective enough for my purposes. Hope it helps!
