I've been playing with dynamic clothing lately, since I actually see it as having at least as much potential as conforming clothing... actually I think that a blending of the two types will eventually be where people wind up... Any way, how do you use 2 or more pieces of dynamic clothing in the same scene? For example, see the attached pic. This is a shirt and skirt for Jessi. They are 2 seperate models. In the cloth room I can select either the blouse or the skirt to clothify, but, at least as far as I can see, I can select both. So how do I make both pieces "conform" to the posed Jessi to create the final scene?

My error rate is pretty high on these kinds of things. The way I have done it (which is probably not the right way, so take warning now) is to do the simulation of one part of the clothing and then go back to the beginning and do a second simulation for the second piece of clothing. But if there's an easier way, I'm glad to hear of it. :)

Yes, that's the way you do it. Run the sims from the skin out. That way, you can collide the outgarment against the inner garment. For an example, see the free Swordbearer costume for M3 at PoserFashion.net. It's a priest's outfit, with a robe, tabard, cowl, and cloak, one over the other.

dialyn is correct, you have to run simulations separately for the two items of clothing. At the beginning of the process in the Cloth Room, you may want to change the default name of the sims to someting easier to recognize, e.g. "blouse" and "skirt."

Thanks for the fast response! mike

Yep, lookin' good, especially for such a potentially problematic pose. Now all her clothes need are some nice textures. Keep at it, it's really rewarding when you get good results. :-)
