HollywoodBest,     Ah! you cracked me up laughting. 

*"Not to say that it doesn't happen in real life, seen many girls bend over and instead of their butt crack you see their red satin thongs."

*I remember the first mini skirt I saw which was on a model, I was hoping for a breaze! 
 Well, smack my face! Shame on me for being a guy!  

Anyway, I do animations, and something I'm soncerned with is, if I have two people carring on a conversation. "A lot of the time I can zero in on their face, and there's no problem with what kind of clothing they are wearing."  But there are times when, each person talks back and forth and they are both in the frame, I like to do that to break up the manonty, (hey, I'm an animator, not a english major.) Poser won't let you carry over the animated face poses using Mimic, in the animated clip. It starts from frame one, on.

With conforming clothing I can save that last frame of the two charactures slide them to framd 1, and start the conversation from frame 1, and contenue that conversation, and it is seamless.  

I've tried Dynamic Clothing, but with Dynamic clothing, from what I understand, you have to animate so the clothing catches up to the pose. My concern is, in doing so, when both people are in view. i doubt that the clothes will line up correctly in doing my animation the way it needs to be set up fairly often. I love dynamic clothing, the flow. but when the clothes don't line up in an anmation, then I can't use them.

Because of it. most of my girls have to wear short dress's. or they don't have that natural flow of a long dress.
