Soft Sheets

I am looking for draping sheets that are dynamic so one can drape them over the model in different poses. The sheets have to be semi-transparent. I need this for my glamour type posing. Rendo has the product named Soft Sheets, but it will only work on Poser and NOT DAZ. I would really like the same thing that would work in DAZ Studio.

what something like this http://www.daz3d.com/dynamic-sheets the semi-transparent part would be down to you to adjust the shader.
Yes, I actually purchased this and I am trying to make due, but there are no dynamics to allow me to wrap them around my model or to drape them over such as a satin sheet if layed onto a model. I am looking for the same effect as photographers use in their modeling. ...semi-forming sheets that I can "mold" to the outlines of a model.

Oh, correction, here. I did not buy these...I will look into it..thanks
You may fid that the Shapes in this package could be helpfuls as well http://www.daz3d.com/ultimate-pattern-design-kit
You can actually export them, create morphs, that say, wrap around a figure, then drape with the morph applied; I've tried it a couple of times with simple fold morph, and it works. I haven't tried it with anything more complicated.
This sounds good, but I do not what to export them too, nor how to make any morphs.
Late now, and it's been a long day; I'll have a go in the morning. I use Hexagon; I prefer Blender but suck at getting stuff into it. I'm curious now, and have a use myself, so hopefully it will work.
Thanks. I have hexagon too, but have never used it. I guess it is about time to start learning.
I purchased this, but do not know how to make the dymanic cloth work. Under parameters, there is no place to be able to manipulate the sheet to form around my model. What am I missing, here?
You can't manipulate the sheet directly. What you can do is orient your figure horizontally, place the sheet, have it drape down, then place wind sources to try to get the sheet to wrap around. I think you can adjust the influence of gravity without resetting the drape to help shift between directions, and you probably want a decent amount of friction so the sheet doesn't just slide off the figure.
One trick that might work is to collide the edge of the sheet through a torus you can somewhat 'pin' that part of the cloth, keeping it from moving (it doesn't seem perfect, I haven't experimented a lot with it -- I suspect it has something to do with how polygon-rich the pin is so that collision can be properly detected, and probably has to do with other dynamic cloth settings).
@The Sultry Lady
The sheet is tough to drap - maybe due to the large number of pollys. It can work well, but takes some time; I've sent you a PM with a link to a subset with a morph I created, seeing as you bought it.
Thanks so much.. I will see what I can do with it..
I did this without wind or anything. I can't remember if I fiddled with collision to keep it from draping on top of the arms or if I posed the arms and hands a few frames after the last draping frame. What I did was rotate the figure and prop into a more horizontal position, then draped, and made the camera point so that it looked normal.
