Does anyone use this program? I would love to be able to easily make dynamic clothing, so does this really work?  Are there other similar programs out there as well?  And where can I buy Virtual Fashion Basic  for Poser? It was sold by efrontier, but I can't find it on Smith Micro

Take a look at PhilC's tools instead.

I tried to buy, and their site has been down all day...does Phil C have an app that does dynamic cloth...that is what I am most interested in....

Yes you will be able to use the Clothing Designer to make Poser dynamic cloth.

Virtual Fashion can still be purchased from their own website here:

I use VFBasic 1.0 but never upgraded because of the legal bullying they used against PhilC. Wasn't because I was unhappy with the product.

Phil, I read the whole page, and unless I missed it, I saw no information about dynamic clothes...I even did a search on the web page for the word dynamic, and it yielded zero results. ..I would like to buy a product that will easily allow me to do dynamic clothes because I like the draped look, and I like that it will drape over morphed figures...I only like skin-tight superhero conforming clothes, and have enough body suits to get those effects...so how exactly does your product produce dynamic clothes, and how does it compare to virtual fashion professional (besides yours being loads less expensive)

His tools allow you to create dynamic clothing as well as conforming. They output single sided meshes which is what you need for a clothing article to be converted from conforming to dynamic.. I wish he had come out with his tools first and I would have bought them instead of VF. I just can't justify the cost of owning both since this is just a hobby for me.

Poser clothing comes in two types, conforming and dynamic.

You'll use the Clothing Designer and Scissors modules to form the shape of the clothing and save it as a Poser prop. If required the prop may immediately be used in the Cloth Room as dynamic clothing. And/or you can then use the OBJ2CR2 module to convert the prop to conforming clothing.

Workflow...........................

Either
Create the clothing --> save as prop --> convert to conforming clothing figure.

Or
Create the clothing --> save as prop --> use the prop in the Poser Cloth Room as dynamic clothing.

Hope this clarifies :)

Hi PhilC--I watched the video tutorial and I understand how it is dynmaic cloth...do you have any videos explaining the scissors  and do you have fabric textures?

I did not do any videos for the Scissors because all you do is line up the cutters and press cut. Details are on:-
http://www.philc.net/Scissors_page1.php

No fabric textures are included but many are freely available on the web.

I use Virtual Fashion Pro 1.5 to design the outfits for V3 and then export to Poser 6 for dynamic simulations.  Virtual-Fashion has added V4 to their garment list since 1.5's release.  I didn't use VF Basic enough to remember how useful it was.

VF was a waste of money! I tried to get a refund for CP but they stated refunds are handled by Reyes. Reyes never replied for my request for a refund.

If you don't use a program, then yes it's a waste of money.  The Pro version is very good at what it's advertized for.  But a lot of users have other plans in mind for the software and are disappointed.  e-Frontier should not have promoted it like they did.  It confused a lot of Poser users who thought it was just a cloth plugin when it was actually a whole other program.

I found VF Basic for Poser to be quite useful!

Can you make different cutter shapes, if so How?
(for Phil C Scissors)

Use the "Dots". See the Scissors help file for details.

If you then need more info just holla and we can go from there :)

Problem was it did not work as advertised and kept crashing and Reyes gave little or no support so I asked for a refund and never got one.

Yeah I really hated the thing where they were like yeah we will make it usable with more figures. but they didn't until they made an entirely new version that you had to buy so people who had already bought it (like me) would have to buy it again. And if I had known what they were going to do to PhilC I would never have bought the piece of shit program ion the first place.

 Feel free to skip the question, I don't intent to cause any kind of trouble, but since this has being brought up several times, what exactly happend between the VF people and PhilC?

Hmmm, basic storyline is that the company that made VF got PhilC's clothing creator program pulled from the marketplace at Cp  because they were trying to "patent the method of making clothing for poser figures" (I don't know about the attempts to patent it in Japan and Europe but here in the US it was denied.) This kept PhilC's Clothing Creator off the market for months at least. I'm not sure how long it was  at this point I have slept since then lol.

      What reyeys (sp) didn't realize was that Cp would remove VF from their store as well as PhilC's product.( which I think was pure justice and funny as hell to boot btw)  Anyway their behavior in this little incident really lost them a LOT of customers and gained PhilC quite a few I think.

Anyone who knows better feel free to correct me if I got anything wrong.

I like the meshes produced by the Pro version for better dynamic animation in Poser.  I'm just now exporting the dynamic cloth animations to Carrara and Vue.  I don't use Poser for rendering.

I got both, but used VF Pro more as I found the interface easier to use. However, I recently suffered a HD crash and now can't reach their website to re-set up my program. (Guess I will have to get used to Phil's GUI.)

I believe they have closed up shop completely due to the utter lack of sales caused by the rejection they suffered from Bullying PhilC. That's just my belief however, I have no facts to back them up but their site has been down for at least 6 months now.

Just like my copy of MatchMover 4 HD.  The server is gone, so can't re-activate the software if I ever need to re-install.  That's why I like that Poser 5 released a patch so that the install/activate process is no longer needed to use the software.

Hopefully the ZBrush, 3DCoat, and Xfrog servers won't go under.

FYI Their Reactivate NAG has never affected me with VF Basic 1.0 for Poser. I have copied the program folder completely from my old computer to my new ones and while it nags and says it needs to be reactivated it still works and saves. My original activation was under Windows XP. I successfully copied the program folder from my XP machine to my Vista machine and it worked and it's now working under Windows 7 just fine. I haven't reactivated it once. Their copy protection method wasn't very good I'd guess. And no this is NOT a cracked copy. I bought it from Content Paradise the first week it came out and have been using it ever since.

I have the Pro version 1.5.  Good to know the nagging doesn't stop yours.  Hope the same works for me when I go to Win7.

I see that PhilC's software works with Poser 6.  I'm going to buy that once I figure out what module of his does what and if it's something I need.
