Reinstalling DS, converting things to Dawn and Diva and my experiments along the way

That's one of the reasons I gave up after Genesis 1 and 2. I didn't like the separate figures. Of course, Poser figures are, for the most part, 2 separate figures, but I liked the one figure for both when Genesis first started. It was different, and I thought it gave us a lot of options that a single figure doesn't.
Then again, that's how La Femme and L'Homme started as well, though in their case, La Femme was the main figure, and L'Homme was just a male morph of her. Reminds me back when V4 first came out as, IIRC, she had a "male" figure morph as well.
Ohhh, I shut off the video early, also because I was getting ready to eat dinner. Hmmm, I'll have to go see if I can find it, not that I use DS anymore on this laptop.
There was a link in the comments to a Caryl Outfit v2, is that it, or is that something else folks in the comments area were talking about?
Edited to Add: OK, I scrolled back the video to the end, and he mentions the free outfit by him and Fugazi, so that must be it, as that's what the comment said where the link was given.

I tried Esha's trick for rigging and have found it works really well. If you have a look at the kneeling 2 images one is conformed only and the other simulated.
Please note at this point there are no constraints on the mesh and I'm using gravity at 1 I normally have it on point 5.
I intend to eventually when the mesh is more complete create a waistband surface that dforce won't see and this should fix some of the bagginess around the crotch area.
Still working my way thru the everyday poses.

Couple of running ones from last night. I'm up really early as I couldn't sleep. I really like the drape on this mesh but I still have to work out how best to stop the crotch from stretching too much. I need to play around with the settings in the surface tab so I can understand what some of them actually do.

I think there's a thing you can use to make an area have less stretch and less dynamic reaction. But I'm not sure what it is, I've not done anything like this.

lol...Yep...there is, I just haven't figured out the best way to do this yet! I'll get there at the moment this is just a mesh to play with. It would need more detailing. This is my first time really exploring what I can and can't do with dforce.
I have a better understanding of how it affects the mesh when I switch off visibility.
I'm going to be spending a lot of time testing different settings. What I'm doing at the moment is creating a base line where I know the mesh works.
There is a whole heap of settings in the surfaces tab I still need to play with.
I have 13 more poses to test with the base line and then I'll start with things like stiffness, dynamics strength and damping to mention just a few.
I was looking at an outfit at daz which had over 10 different shaders just for dynamics that included things like bounce, cloth weight dynamics strength.
I have a lot of work to do.

Some of these sitting poses are taking a while to get them to work. I would imagine that it would have to be done for any dforce item. Essentially I start the timeline with the chair away from the figure and move it in on the 15th keyframe otherwise it can create issues.
Yes I can see the draping is slightly different.
