"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 drape v.
