Quote - 2) Like it or lump it, some folks want realistic, and view CG through that lens. BFD.

As long as that is the standard they judge their OWN work on, and NOT anyone else.  Period. 

The "Purists" on anything have no idea of the damage they do, nor would they care if they did.  It's okay to pursue it on your own, but to constantly push it to other people, well , the door I came in opens to let me out too.  And not many will say anything, those are the ones that seldom post, but ask "What in hell am I doing this for if this is how it's going to be met?" 

OH, yeah. The learning curve for the cloth room, the basics, is maybe fifteen minutes long.  But, I don't do animations, so frame 30 of the sim is the only one I'm looking at.  I can put a seated figure in a long dress in a chair, with the cloth between her legs and the seat of the chair a lot faster than I can with conforming and the dynamic gives ten times better results.  Sorry if you find that daunting.  I doubt the average user will find it even difficult.  Going deeper in, yes, that may take time, but once they've tried it, it won't slow them down from going deeper in.  I use mostly long skirts, therefore, dynamic is the only game in town.  Morphs in the figure?  NO problem, run the sim, presto, it fits.  It ain't any big problem and doesn't take long to either learn or do.  I'll change conforming to dynamic for just that reason, no problem.
