Dress crumples and tuns into a bunch of triangles when cloth sim

Making a Character with a Cloth Sim,I parented the Dress to the rig in Empty Groups then has a Data Transfer Modifier with the source as the Body of the character. It moves with the character but the Dress deforms in a way that doesnt look like a Cloth(I already have an extremely high poly count for the Dress so I dont understand why its not stretching correctly), I also checked if the Dress touches the Body but it doesnt. The Body is the collision and the Dress has the cloth sim

But my main problem is that when I play the Anim Player the dress seems to collapse on itself and then turn into a bunch of triangles


here is the Blend file, Ive just started out in blender for a school project so im not entirely familiar with how it works, i would appreciate the help

Just starting with Blender and jumping into Cloth Sim maybe isn’t the best idea, but I have a video that may help with some general ideas and concepts.

Having said that, the cloth system in Blender is more or less a decade old and can be very picky and takes ages to bake and test anything. I assume you have the sim all baked first, otherwise playback is going to be a problem.

Also, as per the video, take special note of the order of the modifiers, it can matter a lot for sims/animation.

You need to allow access to the file, select File, and then share it, with anyone with the link…then give us the Link, not the login page…

There is also “the trick” to make everything at least 10x bigger… because the simulation works better then…
