Well I'm having another go with the cloth room. I've done the usual stuff like tablecloths and shirt/dresses on static figures and now I want to have a go at moving cloth on a figure whilst its walking. I guess I'd best use a female and a dress to start with but can't figure out how to get started. The few times I've tried the dress goes all over the place. I've looked on here and YouTube for tutorials but can't find anything. I'm probably not asking the right questions.

Anyone got any ideas on what to ask and where to look? I'm on P10 (still).

Ta!

It may be your movements are too quick. The greater the movement, the more frames you need.

I would set up some drape frames first, to keep the figure from walking out of the clothing. You can edit them out of the final animation. Parenting the clothing to the figure (or a part of the figure) might help, tool

If you want your characters hands to interact with a cloth item, I recommend you create and use gloves as collision objects. The characters fingers snag on cloth items, creating undesirable results.

Here's a quick video showing the results...

Of course you would hide the gloves during render...

Thanks for the advice folks, I've not had a chance to try it all out yet but I hope to this weekend!

sorry joined discussion a bit  late, but I have the same problem with clothing in the cloth room.  have 20 frames to drape material,  have a simple walk pattern created with poser.  figure starts  out fine,  about frame 45 the clothing goes every which way,  in all my other posers had no real problem in cloth room.  If you reset simulation, the cloth will not return to normal shape or zero position so it has to be deleted and re-imported. 

HEH, I haven't got it working yet either but I'll have a quieter week now (I've done so much painting and decorating at home I dream about paint brushes!) so I've set myself a task to get it done. When (if) I do I'll post my success!! (Here's hoping!)

My guess is some kind of memory issue. Weird things happen in the Cloth Room when it runs out of memory.

I'm on P10 (still)..

Anyway, I finally got it to work so V4 now has a walk cycle of sorts with the dress now moving correctly. I had to restrain the shoulder straps or the fell off down her arms. Amazingly I did it by.. Wait for it.. reading the manual!

I can put up how I did it if anyone's interested.

am using poser 13 on win-11  have 64 gigs of memory.
