I was using a female figure as an example. You can use whichever figure suits you. It wasn't a misconception: it was a for-instance. Thanks for the critique, anyway, if a bit misguided.

Also, you weren't reading very carefully, Steve:

"Loading your figure: you will want to pose her in either the default zeroed pose using the joint editor, or using whatever the cloth maker provided for zero-pose in frame 1."

IOW, starting at frame 1 in your target pose is not going to give satisfactory results, is it?

Anyone else? Oh, and can I use a MP item for these explorations?
