Quote - I'm well aware of that, and my comment I intended to be directed to the CA's, those that make Poser compatible clothing, as a plea, if they're going to make long dresses, to please make them dynamic or hybrid, as those work somewhat satisfactory as dynamic or conforming.  Most of the male clothing I use is conforming, and as long as there aren't any real bends, they work fine, but if I want to turn James or one of the others into a blimp and put him in a business suit, I at least have the dynamic cloth to do that.  But long skirts are another thing completely, which is why I use almost 90% dynamic.  (Yeah, I like long skirts)

As I don't use ds, I'm not familiar with what features Dawn will have in her ds version, or if the autofit in ds handles more than just the g thing.  Therefore, I'm more looking out for what I will use than what I won't use.

Doric.

And MY comment was simple agreement with Zig that dynamic cloth is "no solution" for DS users, given current state of the art. I certainly wasn't looking to pick any fights. :)

To spell out what I was talking about: we DS users, as far as I can see, are pretty much in the position Poser users were in when Genesis 1 came out. Right now, we have models more or less on a technical par with Dawn that all our investments of time and money, going back as far as V3/A3/S3/M3 etc. will work with. Those of us with small budgets (which I'd guess is the majority of the market... maybe not so much amongst those who post here, but overall anyway) face a choice of continuing to expand our pool of stuff compatible with everything we already have or to essentially start over from square one with unknown tech.

All of which leads me to think gaining traction in adoption on the DS side is going to be an uphill battle. Unless there's some relatively straightforward way (such as Autofit and UV switching) for the average user to make use of our existing content as we bridge the gap and begin filling our libraries with stuff made especially for Dawn. One can only produce so many NVIATWAS-es before boredom sets in. ;) And I don't know if leveraging DS tech is even possible (from an intelecutal rights standpoint; from what I understand, which may not be much, its relatively straightforward to leverage it technologically). If the wheel has to be reinvented, this becomes a much bigger hurdle, of course.

I, for one, intend to do what I can to help make this work, even if that means trying to figure out what can be done in the way of engineering DS plugins to bridge the gap. But that still leaves the thorny intelectual rights issues of whether such a plugin or plugins could even be distributed, were they made, or how difficult they would be to reverse engineer if not. I wouldn't have a clue how to even start investigating the legal issue.

I hope I'm wrong and it's not an issue at all. Or at the very least that Hivewire already has or knows of someone working on the issue but just can't talk about it right now.
