@VirtualWorldDynamics: I still cannot believe the Poser team does not jump on your tool! Unless they have their own secret plans for a new cloth system, this tool seems to be the perfect solution for their outdated cloth room. No one wants to wait another 2 years for them to upgrade their cloth sim system.

Unless something drastically changes with the way Poser is developed, nothing will be updated for another two years. That's just the schedule they have been sticking to for many versions now. VWD came to light at the very end of Poser 11's development. They would not have had time to include it and make their schedule had they wanted to.

The upside is that as long as VWD is a separate product it can be updated as frequently as the developer wishes.

True, but I do wish the Poser team would accept VWD's tool as an integrated feature. I am always hesitant about buying third-party products since I worry that they developer could vanish overnight for any reason (e.g. they get tired ot supporting it and want to just try something different) and then the plugin never gets updated as the main product itself keeps evolving. Then again, Poser hasn't exactly done anything to evolve the Cloth Room in what, five or six years either....

Maybe like with Paul, they could introduce the VWD feature in a subsequent SR rather than make people wait 2 years.
