Ummm.. I'm afraid I'm no expert. What you have suggested is probably the way I would approach it. Saving soon and saving often is usually the way to go with Poser. It might seem long-winded, but I have learned that in the long term it seems to be a time saver. You can delete the older files later (if you need disk space). The "exit and re-load Poser" stuff is just 'cos Poser is notoriously bad at dealing with memory. Both simulations and renders tend to fragment RAM, and so it's usually easier to save, quit, restart, reload than suffer the consequences of not doing so. But how often you have to do that depends on your PC setup. After a while you get a feeling for it.. Cheers, Diolma PS: you might want to IM svdl (steven) if you're having problems with dynamic clothing - he has far more experience than I do, although I understand that he's a little pressed for time just at present. He's not a tutor, as such, but does have some tutorials on his site (which I can't remember the links of at the moment)
