Yeah, it’s especially frustrating when you see people using expensive plugins like Draper to achieve the dress flow and other movement that Chaos Cloth promises but never quite delivers. I’ve had my own difficulties getting all kinds of clothing working for my female metahumans, in addition to physics. I mean, it’s the Beta Vs VHS problem all over again; don’t be Beta, Epic! Jiggle and Swish! We’re not asking for Dead or Alive here, just enough to work with that doesn’t require multiple physics tutorials to work. Kind of essential for my music videos.
As a side note, my way around the “barefoot” issue is to put them in flip-flops, and then delete the feet in the BP editor once downloaded. The actual feet stay there, but the flip-flops go away without any consequences I can tell. Good luck!
