im not having too much luck with the dynamic settings, it seems no matter what i do its  over-active... looks fairly good from a distance but up close it looks like crap..... just for giggles and laughs i extended my frame range and retimed the animation to run at half speed then resimmed ,and rendered every other frame to avi to get it back to the original speed.... it looks twice as good but still is a tad too active... im thinking about tripling the frames  just to see the results... it is a lot of sim time but if the results are good it may be a workable solution (for me) i dont think most people would want to go to these extents for animations but it may be all i can offer for now, besides most people render stills and the only sim would be to get from the default pose to desired pose and only rendering the last frame, so i may recommend simming 10 or more frames to get positioned then an additional 10 or more frames for settling...sim time for me is a tad over a minute per frame..i have known artists to go to greater lengths in their quest for better results... in the past it wasnt unusual to wait days for one frame to render...

:O)

Y'all have a great day.
