"i am a bit confused about your question of making an anim or still  cause thats actually the problem -  animating towels motion behaving dynamically all the time following the bodys contours"

Hi karl231, I'll try to clarify...
I was asking that because Poser can produce both stills and complete animated sequences.

You are right, all dynamic cloth simulations do require animation for them to work.

However, if the final product is going to be a still (that is, a single frame of the animation), then there are lots of short-cuts that can be taken while creating the simulation. As long as the "target" frame looks OK, it doesn't matter how it is achieved.

On the other hand, if the final product is to be a short animation (eg. an AVI in which all, or at least some of the frames will be included) then things get trickier and a lot more care needs to be taken...

Hope that clears up what I was asking and why :-)

Cheers,
Diolma
