Quote - I'm just curious, but why don't you just do the dynamics in Poser if you're doing most everything else in Poser? Can you export your dynamic clothing item from D|S as an object (I have no idea ;o)). I'm just asking. Not criticizing :o).

Hi Laurie,
in fact you can do both (and both ways have benefits: Poser's dynamic cloth is better in adding
randomness, which is more realistic, but DS can use the original material's properties
(when you move the undraped cloth to Poser, you have to assign the properties from scratch).
In this case, I also used that DS dynamic has a certain "conforming" aspect as well, which means
the sitting pose was applied to the cloth in static format and I only used the timeline where
that did not give good results (such as for the arm bends, and to position the chair).
So it is as usual: The purpose determines which method works best.
For me personally, because I only do stills, the export/import I sometimes also do
if I use the Poser cloth room, because then I can render at frame 0 again.
Best regards,
Michael
