My standard for the Cloth Room is 30 frames. first load your figure, turn off all IK, go to Windows/Joint Editor and click Zero Joints button. Load your dynamic cloth item. Make sure it loads pretty much properly fitting your figure. advance to frame 30 on the animation counter. Apply your pose to your character. Go to the Cloth Room and click 'New Simulation' Enter 15 frame for Draping. Click Clothify and select your dynamic cloth prop. Select collision objects (your figure at a minimum). click Calculate Simulation. When all is done, your figure should be in your pose, the cloth should be covering the figure and look 'natural' and the animation counter should be at frame 30. You can slide the animation counter back and forth and your figure will move from the classic 'daVinci' pose to your selected pose with the cloth item following. If you want a new pose, you will have to run the simulation again, and remember to only apply your pose at frame 30. Hope this helps. Shogakusha
