1 - As LD noted, there are a ton of possible tools for creating the clothing. WIthin poser, the dynamic cloth tools can, indeed, mimic those capabilities -- although there are no presets available, and you will need to experiment hard to find the settings you desire. 2 - Poser 6 is scheduled for 2005. When is utterly unknown. It could be January 1st, it could be December 31st. 3 - A great many people don't realize what L_D noted above, but yes -- Poser 5's rendering engine can achieve advanced rendering effects. 4 - L_D is definitely a long time user :)
