Quote - But back to the question: What do JCM's have to do with superconforming? I would think that a conformed cloth inherits the bend twist rot dials from the base figure. The JCM should inherit the bends of the cloth item itself, no? So: Figure  controls Cloth controls JCM?

If I understand it properly, the new system which is being introduced in recent Poser updates may be doing something like that.  I may be altogether wrong about that, though.  I don't even know how to activate the new system. 

The older superconforming method, however, needs to have the ERC for the JCMs pointed toward the conforming parent figure rather than the conformed garment.  If you examine the rotation dials of a conformed garment attached to a posed figure, Poser will actually list all zero values for the garment's rotations.  Poser is internally matching the conformer's pose to that of its conforming parent, and the conformer is effectively not posed at all, as far as the ERC-pointing is concerned.  So the garment's ERC won't respond to the pose, unless it points to the figure which actually carries the pose.

Kinda seems like I should have been able to state that more clearly.    Hmm.
