Admittedly, I don't do animations, but I'm much happier with dForce than I was with OptiTex. While I can't put my finger on exactly what, I was never really impressed with how DynCreator translated clothing for OptiTex, and I'm finding dForce significantly faster on my system than OptiTex ever was. I've even embraced running animated sims, which is something I tried really hard to avoid with OptiTex.

I'm still figuring it out, but I do know that I can adjust the settings on clothing with a dForce modifier by material zone, and not just one for the entire garment. With some of the other tools in DS (blanking on the exact names) I can create new material zones and set them up differently too.

As of yet, I haven't had any luck with prop clothing, but I've seen some advice that may help with that, and there's a lot of Poser Dynamic clothing that has found its way onto my wishlists since I first saw the dForce previews.

Now, would I pay for prop clothing? ... yes, but not a lot (under $5) unless it was really elaborate or extensive. I'd pay a bit more if it came already set up for dForce (which doesn't seem overly difficult, but I haven't messed with weight maps yet) and/or with at least a basic rig set up for posing/adjusting purposes.

So take this one consumer's opinion for what it's worth - though I have downloaded some of Biscuit's dynamic freebies to practice with. :)
