But of course the same caveats are there for clothing. Poser clothing either has no organic folds, or the folds are "built-in" to the mesh and only look right in a limited range of poses. Even dynamic does not escape, as the realities of polycount make it fold more like heavy canvas (and the idea of bias-cut fabric really can't be approximated in Poser terms -- heck, starched creases can't be done in Poser!) Add to this the problems of conforming -- even when there is a "good" conform (aka nothing poking out) the compromises to make this happen warp the fabric further from reality. Plus clothing does not influence the underlying figure (the way every ordinary bra does, for instance). Still...you got the silhoette, you've got the hemlines, you've got the shading and the cast shadows and even a semblance of drapery. It's not a bad thing to have. Heck, it's close enough for someone attempting a web comic! (As I am).
