MRB outfit

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I've just purchased the dForce MRB outfit and have no idea what's going on! Each clothing item has 2 versions (1 with smooth morph maker and 1 eithout, I think). I have no idea what a smooth morph maker is. There also seems to be a separate smooth morph maker for each item. When some items are loaded, it is impossible to apply textures to them (I've tried highlighting them in 'surfaces' but that doesn't help). The cloak starts moving with simulation but then seems to stop before the simulation is finished. The product blurb (which is exactly the same as the ReadMe file ) is completely uninteligible - "The costumes each come with a (smooth morph maker), they control the shape of the child object and have a comprehensive morph. Child objects' outfits have a more detailed morph, while Mesh Smoothing follows the surface of Genesis 8. In this way, the custom template discards and simplifies information that is not needed when loading a new shape, and transfers it to the bottom image, and the bottom image minimizes surface damage."???????????????!!!

    Yeah, it's kind of a mess and I had the same problem with the MRB Outfit and had to put in a ticket.  The Smooth Morph Maker pieces are the ones you need to use.  The others seem to serve no useful purpose, and didn't get an answer to my question as to what the point of them was.

    The "smooth morph" figure is the shape variation of Genesis' legs and feet.
    Protects from distortion of the costume.

    And there is a morph in the actor/adjustment.
    This is a simple morph (mesh is low poly)

    The mrb costume (simulation costume) in the lower layer is middle polygon, and a little more
    There are delicate morphs ("actor/adjustment").

    The "smooth morph" figure comprehensively controls the costumes underneath.

     

    All garments must be loaded from the "wearable" item.
    These are the ones that I have set in advance.


    Material only applies to garments loaded from the "wearable" item (this is a Hierarchy material)


    ***Cloaks come in several types of morphs.(mrb dress actor/adjustment)
    Try loading a different type of morph if it crashes during simulation

     Its not that it explodes but the thing is not laying flat. It just hovers in the air

    This is the cloak after a full simulation. Also, in the description under adjustments it says hit has "Cloak rotate" which it clearly does not. It only has cloak push top

    And like the orginal poster asked what is the purpose of the other models? You cant color them with the material presets, and they simulate and have the same exact adjustments of the other pieces. So what is the point?

    This really shouldnt have gotten to this point. Dont you test what you put up forsale? I am pretty sure you do.

    I just ran into the same problem, but its possible to make it work with some aggressive simulation settings on the coat surface. Her is a picture of what I used, I just lowered all the "stiffness" values and increased stuff like density and dynamics strength, not much else thought was put into this.

    As I had similiar problems, I tried your settings, but for me they still lead to a nice explosion... so I tried a different approach, as for me the problem seemed to result from the epaulettes (those strips on the shoulders).

    The coat/cloak comes with a dForce weight map applied. So choosing the Node Weight Map Brush I changed the weight on and around those epaulettes to zero (0) to make them un-dForcable. Which resulted in my problem disappearing...

    So..

    Sometimes it helps to play with the settings a bit, sometimes one has to use more desperate measures... and sometimes nothing helps.

    (And yes, I know I'm late to the party.. but as the item is still sold AND it even is marked as Staff Pick I guess there will be more people running into the same problems with it sooner or later... so don't blame me for necroing this thread - just want to help... wink )
