As an animator I frankly cant see this "dress" as a viable solution for **ANIMATED cloth simulations :-)
sure it can fake draping somewhat with those morphs for STILLS
But only a true masochist would even consider trying to animate those morphs to match vickies body Doing some complex dance animation or such from a BVH Motion file.
my definition of "Dynamic" cloth ,in the context of 3D animation,
is to react automaticly and naturally to the simulated environmental forces
exerted upon it such as wind, gravity,friction and of course collisions from the body inside the garment.
you can put a 15 speed manual gear box in your honda but it wont be an "automatic" transmission if you still have to shift gears by hand and clutch.
perhaps this new "dress" should be called the
"ultra morphing dress"
or such but it hardly meets the 3D industry standard of "Dynamic"
