Hi IO4!
Try modelling both dynamic and conforming clothes. As for the definition of the different types, let's see if I can give it a go. Dynamic clothes are props that drape over a figure, utilizing the cloth room. Conforming clothes are rigged figures that move in unison with the base figure, utilizing the pose room. Though, I'm sure the manual has a better explanation than the one i've just given.
Like you, I've had trouble finding tutorials ( a lot of the ones I had bookmarked are gone. ). Though, I did manage to find one site that looks promising, here is the link mystic-nights.com
As for 3d modelling, I usually experiment first with the different techniques ( i.e. box modelling, sub-patch, poly by poly, or spline ) then, I choose a technique best suited to the particular look I want.
I have to admit my knowledge of Blender is nil. I'm a Lightwave user Although, here is another link that may help in that aspect. www.cgtalk.com
Also, check out the Blender forum here.
One more thing before I go, If you get the chance, buy the book " Secrets of Figure Creation with Poser 5" by BLRender. I highly recommend it.
If you have anymore questions feel free to drop me a line at chieftanoclan7@sbcglobal.net
Cheers!
