Well, I can answer 2 of those: 3) - dynamic clothing is applied in the pose room and then you need to go to the material room in order to set up an animation to give the clothing a "fluid" look. You can render the whole animation, or just the last frame for a still image. - conforming clothes are applied in the pose room and conformed the the figure's body there as well. Sometimes conforming clothing has body parts associated with it so that you can adjust the dials in order to get the clothes to fit the figure better in various places (IE: chest, or wider hips than the skirt). Sometimes the conformiing clothing doesn't have those (morphs), and unless you put the figure's morphs into the clothing (using "the Tailor"), fitting the clothing is very limited. - Morphing clothing are conforming clothing with morph dials that are associated to the figure's body (IE: chest, shoulder, right buttock). Much easier to get the clothing to fit around a larger boosom, or thicker thighs if trying to fit slim pants. 4) Absolutely!!! You are never too old to learn anything. Just know that unless you have someone who knows poser really well sitting behind you telling you what to do, there is a huge learning curve accompanied by loads of frustration along the way. The important thing to remember is that you are not the first "newbie" to use poser, and there is no such thing as a dumb question. I'm 43 and have had poser for just over a year now I guess. I didn't get my first render finished until October or November. I uninstalled Poser and then reinstalled it again. I kept thinking that I wasn't going to let this program beat me! I've been unwell and not feeling all that creative so I don't do much with what I do render, other than give the finished renders to graphic groups for their use. I did manage to do one image for my gallery, but that was a rare event when I had a creative spark in me...few and far between lately. So don't give up. If you get frustrated, take a break and come back to it. You'll get there. I'm just at a point where I'm trying to do more than "dress up dolly" and I even made a fan texture for myself!!!! I was thrilled to no end by that :) If you need some good links for tutorials, post back and let us know, and I'll pass along some that I've collected along the way.
