Quote - wimvdb, i agree with the first part.

But Dynamic cloth , or the hybrid version scare many Poser user away. I don't know why. For me it is more difficult to fit with dials and morphs a long dress to a character in a sitting pose as example, than to go in the dynamic room. And it looks way better.

When I see in the galleries a long conforming dress, which swoop around V4 like the riggid magic carpet from Alladin, honestly I have to laugh.

I mentioned standing poses for conforming. Walking, sitting, swirling - all much better with dynamic clothing, I totally agree - especially with long dresses.

But there is more than just posing and running the simulator. If you use morphed figures it takes a bit more work to adjust the cloth to the figure - the morph brush helps but it adds to the workflow.

I use a lot of figures in my scenes. One thing I do now with dynamic cloth is to simulate in a separate scene for each figure. Then - when everything looks good - spawn a morph in the cloth. Then I save the figure plus cloth in the posed position. In the final scene I load the figure and set the morph to 1. This way I do not lose any simulation, and can move it around easily. If I would have to do all of the simulations in the final scene it would get very complicated and errorprone
