“Pushing garment simulation technology to its limits has become increasingly important to OptiTex over the recent years,” said Ran Machtinger, president of OptiTex, LTD. “Everyone wants the ability to quickly and easily manipulate a convincing virtual person wearing realistic clothing without the need for a Hollywood budget. Now virtually everyone can experience exactly that.”
The dynamic clothing solution for DAZ|Studio and the accompanying line of new clothes is scheduled to be released in the upcoming weeks in DAZ 3D's online store. The release will consist of the Dynamic Clothing Player plugin (included within DAZ|Studio 2.0 for free), and the Dynamic Clothing Control plugin (available for $49.95) which will provide an extended set of controls over cloth panel properties, wind, and gravity. A dynamic clothing creation tool, the Dynamic Clothing Designer, is also in development and will be released later this summer.
