DAZ 3D, Inc. a leading developer of professional quality 3D models and software, today 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.
"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."
Pricing and Availability
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(TM) plugin (included within DAZ/Studio 2.0 for free), and the Dynamic Clothing Control(TM) 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(TM), is also in development and will be released later this summer.
DAZ/Studio 2.0, with the Dynamic Clothing Player plugin, will be available free of charge at http://studio.daz3d.com. DAZ/Studio works with Windows 98® SE or higher and Mac® OSX 10.3 or higher, including the Intel-based Macintosh computer systems. DAZ/Studio comes with three pre-configured 3D scenes, including the popular Victoria model, an extensive user manual, and easy-to-follow tutorials for getting started. To obtain a free copy of DAZ/Studio, users must register for a free account on the DAZ 3D website. For more information, please visit www.daz3d.com/.
