Agree with Dale_B. Conformers for rigid clothes. Dynamic shoes or armor is madness. I've converted quite a few commercial conforming clothes to dynamic, with good results. For example the V3 Wizard Robe and the M3 High Elven tunic. I exclusively use these converted ones, since the conformers are a bear to pose well. Conformers for tight clothes? I'm still better off using dynamic cloth. Stockings for instance; a real pokethru pain with conformers, work perfectly as dynamic cloth with all vertices constrained. I agree about the lack of high quality dynamic clothes. The best I've seen are those by hmann, the quality is mainly due to the good texture/bump/displacement maps. I might spend some time this summer to do some detailed dynamic clothes. I'm talking seams, buttons, pockets, hemlines and so on. I've learned a few tricks, time to put them to use.
