420Toker - They have already said Poser 5 will have Collision Detection. This means that clothing does not need to be chopped up and turned into a conforming figure anymore. Instead, from what I understand, you create the solid mesh, then load it in, and set the tension of the "fabric", its weight, and other factors. Then, when you put the garment on the figure, the first thing it does is settle, the way real clothes settle on someone. If you made your garment a mite too thick, it will sag and wrinkle. Then when you pose your figure, it calculates if the figure's body parts are clliding with the clothing mesh, and moves the clothing with the body part. This means no elbows poking through the mesh, the clothes can be put on the floor where they'll settle into a pile (like when you toss your shirt on the floor), and so on, and so on.
