GLBOptitex Questions:
144
Some recent posts from Anabran have gotten me wondering about Optitex. I do have Optitex, I even have the Advanced Clothing Control plugin for it. I do also remember it quite fondly since it seemed quite fast to calculate and didn't suffer those air-bubble issues that often plague dForce.
What I don't have, though, is that converter plugin thingummy that he pointed out, and I'm wondering if it's compatible wiht Daz Studio 4.24.
It's cheap enough, no probelm there, but I've never purchased anything from Renderosity before, and I don't want to be getting into using another store just for that one item, only to find out it isn't compatible or whatever.
It's a while now since I used Optitex, and I'm trying to rmember what it was about it that bugged me, because I recall it did bug me in one respect. I think it was lack of a parameter to contract (shrink) the fabric. Then again, it's so long ago now that it could quite possibly be Poser's Cloth Room I'm thinking of. Another suspicion is that maybe it lacked pinning. In dForce, for example, you can use a weight map to paint pinning strength, but I don't recall Optitex having any way to pin (at all).
My mind is definitely on Optitex right now, so any information regards the compatibility of the converter plugin for use in Daz Studio 4.24 would be very much appreciated!

Have you blocked Anabran? He has a whole thread about this and other blender tools:

You must be joking, I'm a man not a mouse. Haven't blocked anyone, and never would!
It's him who's blocked me (in fact he's blocked a bunch of members, not just me)
Every member has no option than to start another thread if we want to participate in any topic that was started by someone who decided to block any given member. I should have been able to ask this stuff in Anabran's thread, and if the block functionality was implemented sensibly on here, I would have been able to do so, and would have done so. Surely my post does not need to be shown to the member who bliocked me, in order for others in the topic to see it and reply to it!
The most that blocking a member should do for any person weak enough to need to block anyone in the first place, is simply prevent the blocked person's posts from being shown to the member who blocked them. Anything more than that is stepping over the mark, but the system they have on here flat-out allows one member to completely block another member from being able to participate in a whole topic.
It's the polar opposite of what "community" is meant to be about, and encourages abuse of the functionality.
Such functionality should not exist on a forum.
Anyway, let's get back to Optitex, and any information as to the compatibility of the converter with Daz Studio 4.24 (and any other relevant Optitex info), would be very much appreciated.

A private conversation just now made me realise I referred to the wrong plugin. I meant that I already had "Dynamic Clothing Control" not "Advanced Clothing Control" that i called it. Sorry, god knows where I got that name from!
It's really just the compatibility of the converter with version 4.24 of Daz Studio that I'm getting at.

To test if the "Dynamic Clothing Control" feature works, you can download my dress for G8F, which is free!

For anyone curious about compatibility, I was told in private that the plugin is indeed compatible with Daz Studio 4.24.
I look forward to playing with it once I get around to clothing (I'm knee-deep in hair at the moment)

Mon, Sep 22I have the Beta 2025 one thing installed. I'll tested it out there tonight as well, unless you beat me to it, which is fine, hi, hi, hi
I'll be back tonight with the results.

Oops, sorry Luxe, I hadn't noticed you'd replied. Not using the 2025 version personally, but out of curiosity it will be interesting to see if such an old plugin works with that one!

sorry as well.
So, I'm going to be very gentile on how I say this. Dynamic Clothing is fucked with 2025 see screenshot below.

The clothing featured here is from @Guys, who so kindly shared it with me for testing.

Tue, Sep 23If I understand correctly, many scripts are not compatible with version 2025. It's not surprising that the dynamic clothing feature doesn't work, since it's an older script written by a third-party company, and also an alternative to dForce.

Thanks for testing, Luxe. I had a suspicion this would be the case. As Guy pointed out, there's an issue even with many modern scripts not working in Daz Studio 2025. The problem is made worse still when you consider that even the OptiTex plugin itself, and the Advanced Dynamics Control plugin are no longer developed for Daz Studio either.
Still, I'll pick up a copy of the converter cause it does seem OptiTex is a viable option as long as you have no plan to use the 2025 version of Daz Studio, or at least run it side-by-side with Daz Studio 2.24 in order to retain access to these older plugins.
