I have made a dress in 3dsmax  for a V4 character and import it in Poser7. Had to change the size and position so it fits right without any parts poking through. In the cloth room the simulation worked fine, the dress lay on character nicely and I set the V4 chracter as parent, but the dress does not do anything when V4 charater change poses (the character goes right through it).
Could someone please help me.

Thank you

Hi

If you change poses, you must re-run the simulation.

My question is how can I make the dress into a Smart prop.

Thank you

Go to your props library and click +
In the popup, give the dress a name and click Select Subset. Select your dress and click ok.

Click ok to save the dress as a prop.

Make sure you save the dress in a zero pose (first animation frame)

Next time you want to use it, just add the prop and set up a simulation.

As far as I know, when you use the Select Subset option, the dress will NOT be saved as a smart prop.
Here's how I do it: I select the dress from the actor selection dropdown, and then save it to the Props library. Poser then asks if I want to save as a smart prop.

If you want the dress to move as you pose V4 you will need to convert the dress from a prop/dynamic cloth to a conforming figure.
