Sorry for flying off the handles there. I was extremely frustrated at the time I wrote the post, also because of more private matters.

I think I've done all the operations in the information provided here and in the previous thread. I'm at a point where I simply don't know what else I could be missing.

It's as simple as this:

I load the V3 figure, load the mock dress geometry I made in 3DS Max, take it to the setup room and apply the V3 skeleton to it. I then select the hip group and add all of the polygons from the skirt to it like it says in the video. I go back to the Pose room and I conform the dress to the V3 figure. When I move the thighs, the skirt does not move at all, but responds when I move the buttocks. This is where I am completely lost.
