I need some advice.
I am running Poser 5 and in a previous session I created a dynamic cloth prop. It worked great. I then saved my poser file to my D: drive and I expected the dynamic prop info to be saved there as well. When I checked the .DYN file was in the same directory as the PZ3 file.
So far so good.
I come back the next day,start up poser and I get an error that the cloth prop cannot be found.
Everything in the PZ3 file is intact, it is only the dynamics that are missing! When I go to the directory that contains the PZ3 file, I find that the .DYN file is still there.

Can anyone explian

1. where poser is expecting to find the cloth prop info. 

Or anything else you know about dynamic clothing files.

Thanks

From what I remember .dyn file only contains the information about the cloth calculation, not the clothing prop itself. Poser5, particularly sr4, broke the clothroom beyond recognition too, so it might be simply buggy. My guess is that pz3 references your clothing item where it is on your hdd and you could possibly move it somewhere. Best idea would be creating the dynamic cloth prop, saving it to the props library and loading it from there for calculations. This way all object info is stored inside the prop file. At least this is wat I can guess :) Haven't been working with poser5 for ages. Michal 4blueyes

Poser 5 REQUIRES that you save the dynamic cloth prop to the props library.
If you made the dynamic cloth prop in an external 3D modeler and exported it as .OBJ, it's also important that the filename of the .OBJ does not contain spaces. Somehow P5 doesn't like them.
