Caution - exploding knickers!
3D Render by Pushee-RiYou may have heard of "exploding" garments during a DAZ simulation, but couldn't imagine anything about it. Now you can have your say.
A brief explanation of the "exploding knickers": this happens when the 3D object has too many vertices (i.e., "points" in 3D space that make up the garment) that may be too close together, and/or when incorrect simulation parameters are used.
This can cause the simulation algorithm to go nuts and move one vertex in one direction and the adjacent vertex in another direction. Sometimes funny or interesting things come up - but mostly it's just annoying when the DAZ app crashes.
I uploaded this picture to 'rotica some time ago. But there was no feedback - probably because the image does not contain breasts or other anatomical elements ...

I never thought about deliberately blowing up clothes to make an image to put in a gallery.
It is true that the result can be artistically pretty but in general it is unintentional and the user only sees the time spent which is totally wasted. At the price of electricity

Mon, Oct 23, 2023You are right - often the exploded garment looks bad ... or can not be viewed because the app crashed 
In the example above, I knew what was going to happen and was able to abort after about 30 seconds. So the power consumption was kept within limits
The picture is actually only meant as an additional illustration to my tutorial "DAZ: Control of the simulation behavior". Maybe there will be 1 - 2 more tutorials from me about "DAZ, dForce and Dumbos". Let's see ...
Thanks a lot for the Rocket Boost
