heyas; so i was all set to play with philc's harem getup (thanks, phil!), so i fit it on my stephanie and all that. then i stuck her in a pose, and went to the cloth room. now let me get this straight.... EVERY time i want to use the harem outfit, i have to make a sim, and clothify it and tell it what to collide with and re-make the constrained and whatnot different groups??? EVERY smeggin TIME!??!?! no no no, this cannot be.... tell me that ain't right. you mean i can't save, with my cloth, the cloth SETTINGS that go with it??? am i doing something wrong, or did phil just set his up that way to annoy me? (er, i mean, teach me how to do all that junk?) ;) i know the pieces have their dynamics dial, so SOMEwhere, SOMEhow, poser knows it's some kinda dynamic thing :(

asked myself the same.played around with the p5 clothes( not the conforming) and it seems that after each posing and so you have to start a new simulation. Maybe i did something wrong,maybe it is something thats fixed with the patch.i try later

I think that if you save your setting in a pz3 file,It shall be saved as a normal scene...I don't think you have to redo the sim unless you change the posing of your figure... I saved one sbene and everything was ok.

This will be a quick answer because I'm moving my office from one room to another. I'll swear that all the cables have self installed easy pose and I have dust bunnies forming herds and trying to make a break for the door :)

Save as a PZ3 and your simulation should get saved also. There will be a DYN file also created that you have to keep in the same directory. (Still looking for it's reference in the CR2). If you save the dynamic clothing as a smart prop it will save the cloth groups. I set some in the Hareem costume so you should have seen those. I think it saves the cloth dial settings, but would need to check.

Yes you will need to do a new simulation if you change the pose.

OK gotta go ... one dust bunny is getting ugly.

heyas; but who wants to save pz3's when they want a cloth prop (a pp2)? grrr! i don't want to save a simulation. i want to save the cloth prop knowing that it is clothified, and knowing what its default, choreographed, etc groups are. right now, when i jump the sucker into the cloth room, it's like i'm starting from zero. maybe after i re-clothify the parts, i'll see your cloth groups, phil. :/ you don't need to do a new simulation every time you change the pose, you just have to re-calculate the old one. the simulation isn't really anything, it just tells poser what frames to calculate (and/or how many frames to calculate.) so if you tell it 'simulation 1' is 15 frames of 2 steps, you can put any/all cloth in there for those 15 frames. you only need ANOTHER simulation if you want to simulate something else in some other frames. for a quick, stupid example, say that your female figure sits down on a park bench for frames 1-12 and sits there for 5 frames, and then a gust of wind blows her hat off in frames 18-25. so, okay, you set up sim_1 to run for frames 1-12, and stick the dress in there, so that stays on her body for those frames. then you can set up sim_2 to run for frames 12-15 and put the hat and wind in there to do that stuff. if you add a blouse to the dress, you don't need a new sim, you just stick it in sim_1 with the dress. or hair, you can stick that in both sims, so it follows her and gets blown by the wind.
