Folding/expanding clothes

Hi:

Is there a way to fold clothing (Examples: stand alone clothing figures posed on the floor or posing a skirt or a long coat front/tail  due to heavy winds. etc.) besides using magnets? Magnet work fine for minor changes, but the large the change, the more distorted it looks.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks!

    That would be a task for a full modelling application, such as Blender or Hexagon. However, depending on what you want, some of SickleYield's sets do include folding (of folded) versions or separate products.

    Make A Mess is a morph set for the Gensis MFD that includes some folded morphs. Depending upon your requirements and intentions, you could use this product and the right materials to fudge or fake most types of clothing.

    With regard to heavy winds, I can't help there, sorry.

    Beat578 has some G2F clothing in freestuff at Renderosity that have "fold" and "drop to floor" morphes. Not all of his stuff and I cant remember which ones, sorry.

    Crumpled to the floor would be pretty easy to do with a quick soft-body physics sim in Carrara.  Folded would be much harder to do though, probably better off modeling the folded clothes than trying to take a clothing item and fold, refold, etc, even with really good modeling tools.

    Magnets... eh, perhaps theoretically possible if you had 10,000 man hours to spend, unlimited resistance to frustration, and a genius-level mastery of magnets, but overall I strongly doubt you'd be able to achieve folded clothes that way.

    Bruce:

     

    From your description, it looks like you are looking for clothes billowing in the wind, and posed on the ground (table, bed, etc.).

     

    You can do this both in DAZ Studio soon with this addon plugin in images below.  Check out this thread for more info:
