Thanks Brian for the pointers, I don't mind longer sim times as long as the sim runs. Just for clarification though are you changing the Cloth Dynamics settings in the default group? I ask this because I notice that Poser seems to import different Dynamic setting groups depending on the fabrics you've selected in VF. Here is a render of the first outfit that I'm 85-90% happy with thanks to your tip on constraining the different mesh groups. One thing I must do is to go back and re-read all the different Dynamic Cloth tutorials that I read when I first started using Dynamic Cloth. I'm also going to have to go around all the various forums and withdraw my initial complaints as I now see a bright future for the VF/Poser combo.
