Quote - There are moments when I wonder why I keep messing around with Poser instead of focusing on Blender properly, especially since it supports Luxrender and now that amazing autorigging thing called Blenrig...plus simulated cloth seems to work well. I haven't tried hair yet, nor the material node system, but from what I have seen it looks really good.

maybe i am using the wrong settings in blender. but in poser i get at least 2 times faster cloth simulations.
