Help please! A problem with simulations!
3D Render by MjrkThe picture is nonsense, I know. It is only the first test of clothes that didn’t crash
DAZ-Studio 4.24 on my ew“ iMac (actually it is a late 2013 iMac I bought on
Ebay because of the inbuilt Nvidia graphics card).
Every other attempt to simulate a figure with dforce clothing shut down the application
immediately.
I have looked in the forums if someone else has the same problem. But it doesn’t seem
to be a known problem.
After some warnings concerning the newer versions of DAZ-Studio, I have deleted it
and changed to the old version 4.20. At least there is the Save Menu accessible
during the simulation (which was sometimes very helpful).
But a new simulation shut down another simulation with the old version of the program.
So I can’t find out what the incompatible components are; the system (Sonoma 14.7),
the application or the graphic-processor (Nvidia GeForce GTX750)?
As far as the picture is concerned: P3D Ursula G9, Fair Maiden Dress, Elysianna Hair
BM-6 Bird Props, Some parts of the Hobbit home by Roguey and some other props
Just to see if she model could be rendered. At least that worked well.
After 4 or five attempts to make a simulation with the dress, I used a somehow
strange and seemingly un-technical solution: I let it ink in“ (in the brain of
a computer?) I didn’t start the simulation right after opening the file, instead I waited
for some minutes before I hit the simulation button - and it worked! 1 time!
Every other attempts with different models caused a crash of the application.
Now my question is: has anybody had the same problems or maybe someone
has found a way to get around it?
Thanks for reading!
tl;dr: why can I not make simulations anymore?

Wish I could advise, but my own dforce sims are hit and miss, though for different reasons. I'm not sure if you already read these, but below are two links I found that are even close to being recent. I know I've had issues in the past with driver updates, etc., so maybe it's something that simple for you. Hope this helps.

Mon, Jun 30Thanks for the answer. Yes, I have already checked the Nvidia site for drivers. But the graphics-card chip isn't known there!?!
And in my system preferences I cannot find anything about "CUDA". An update from CUDA (whatever that maybe) should be possible.

Maybe your graphic card has not enough memory (1 Gb ?) for cloth simulation I've read somewhere 8 Gb min, I'm not sure, but investigate that way

Mon, Jun 30Thanks for answering - but until now all my models and pictures were made with an even older computer
with 2 GB of Rom for the graphics card. And this worked fine even with lots of props and vine more polygons.
But one day the HD in that computer died. I have to use this "new" iMac now until I can repair the older one.
It looks as if every scene from now on must be populated with girls in Renaissance-Costumes
And that's going to be as boring a the picture above.

Daz gave up and instead of making daz better they bridged. Blender is overrated and z brush is a rip off. I've accepted these things. 07 good luck to all that struggle to find otherwise.

Tue, Jul 01Yeah. And for a long time I've said it's a pile of junk that only a few will ever bother to climb and for the past ten years the only real achievement in 3d rendering is Ai makes it easier and saves you 2 or 3 years of starring at blender to even know how to use it.

Wed, Jul 02I respect your opinion. I've been using blender since its 1.47 version and I like it. Yes, I agree, it's not a lego, you have to create from scratch. Yes when I began, i almost gave up but now, I'm glad I didn't.
It seems, I found the solution: let the CPU do the dForce-Simulation.
At least on my iMac with i7-Processor:
> go to the Simulation Pane > Advanced Tab > under OpenCL Device choose:
Apple Intel Core i7-4771 CPU @ 3.5 GHz
The simulations run nearly 2 times faster than the ones with the Nvidia Graphics Card Processor
AND it doesnt crash the Application every time!
I dont remember if I could have chosen the CPU with my older Mac. But I guess it was an i5 CPU.
And that was not ready for such tasks.
