DAZ 3D Inc a leading developer of professional quality 3D models and software announced their cooperative effort with OptiTex LTD, a leading provider of software for the textile and fashion industry, to develop a 3D dynamic clothing solution which will be included as part of the version 2.0 release of DAZ|Studio, the free 3D art software.
Powered by the proprietary OptiTex physics engine, this virtual clothing solution allows anyone to load in the DAZ 3D figure and clothing of their choice and experience real-world cloth simulation, including the ability to quickly alter the clothing's fabric type, garment size, and style variations.
“We are extremely excited to release this new line of dynamic clothing,” said Dan Farr, president of DAZ 3D. “Historically, there's never been a virtual clothing solution that has provided users this level of realistic interaction with 3D garments, nor has such realism ever been accompanied by a straight forward interface like what is available within the DAZ|Studio 3D software.”
Using the Dynamic Clothing Control plugin, DAZ|Studio users may see first-hand how making subtle changes to the 3D clothing such as altering the fabric type, number of buttons opened, and garment size directly affect the drape of the virtual fabric. Available for free download, DAZ|Studio provides an ideal solution for budding 3D artists as well as professional 3D designers, photographers, filmmakers, animators and illustrators. With the addition of this new dynamic clothing plugin, users can work with virtual objects to create images and animations of any genre with a level of realism that was previously not available to the general public.
