Thanks for all the responses over such a short period of time! It's interesting to see that there is even uncertainty with "veteran" users as to what is required for a static simulation. I was wondering about the static sim and how long it was taking to just get the hair to drape; it now makes sense to realise that it will go on forever (well, at least until something crashes) until the sim is actively stopped. Thank you, Grimhilda and Biscuits; much appreciated. VirtualWorldDynamics; the offer to help with written guide/s remains - even if just to proof-read (Your guide is full of grammatical errors [sorry], but I believe most are due to the totally different grammatical structure of the written French and English languages. Even with a good knowledge of English [which you obviously have]; direct translation just doesn't work due to the differing grammatical structures of the two languages); mostly, your guide gets the message across but the easier it can be made for new users, the quicker users can learn the program and the quicker the widespread use will be............ Lastly, I noticed some people stating that the simulation's result can't be sent to Poser in the trial version. When I first tried it on a simple loincloth, it passed the end result onto Poser just fine; so is this still the case? Also, the fact the users are posting images and videos (to me) means the resultant simulations can be sent onto Poser, so............(?)
