I just want to throw in my two cents, since I'm here anyway. Really, this is cool that dynamic cloth can be "made" for Daz studio by anyone, but the fact that it should come to this is ridiculous. If you ask me, Optitex should've worked a lot on dynamic cloth, said "screw daz3d" and sold their stuff elsewhere, it would've been popular. HOnestly, I prefer DS's dynamics to poser's, much easier to use and you don't have to use the timeline, and stuff, for it to work, just for really great renders. Plus it's easier, just conform it, click a button, and let it go shrug I think some of the main turn-offs for users are, well, the expensive prices, for starters, and the fact that it's not that flexible. take for example on of the dynamic shirts (an optitex freebie, the M4 one, what have you), and if you want them longer, you're out of luck, since there's no way I know of to change that. That's another huge issue, forcing you to buy multiple products when adding a simple ability to scale up or down without having to worry about the cloth shrinking back to normal size, would be very helpful.
One more thing that I think is hurting dynamic stoff, and Optitex's reputation, take one of their latest cloth items I've used, the V6 dynamic lingerie. Used to you bought a dynamic cloth item and it came with several morphs, but now, nope, you get the same level of freedom as with the old freebie stuff, which has faded into obscurity, with no updates in two years or so. But anyway, you get little-to-no useful morphs anymore, like with the V6 lingerie, the two dress-like things, length morphs would've been nice, or something. I used genesis stuff before and it was the same way.
Anyway, I can't think of what more I want to say, sorry for ranting folks, but I had to offer some input ^^;
