Unfortunately it becomes apparent after you buy Basic that most of those gallery items on show at EF were created with another version. On the plus side it is extremely easy to use and get the hang of. On the minus side once you are back in Poser is when you'll discover issues with the garments you've created. Ultimately I think you need to combine VF Basic with a modelling program to get  the best results. I use dynamic clothing often so I'm used to how long sims take to run but with 2 out of 3 items I've made so far I just gave up, when it takes more than 5 or 10 minutes and hasn't started the first frame then you get the feeling somethings wrong. My system isn't the problem, I'm running an  AMD X2 4200, 3gig RAM, GF 7800 card. Finally when you watch the videos at EF and look at the gallery pics, take it with a very large grain of salt.
