PS: this would make your model significantly more complex, but if you REALLY wanted to dynamicise the hoop skirt in a convincing way, you might consider actually making a separate object UNDER the skirt, the "bones" that make the cloth hold its shape in the same way a real hoop skirt would. The "bones" understructure would be a conforming figure like any other conforming clothing item, but you'd have the added spiffyness of a dynamic cloth item draping over that structure in a realistic way as Mousie moves and animates. Beware that the tutu will probably gives you problems if you try this, because as I've found, it can be really difficult to get two planes of cloth to lie against each other without some really frightful glitching (see my gallery for a couple of examples).
oops, one more small suggestion: any cloth item you have modeled, when you export the OBJ file, you probably want to make sure it is made up of triangular polys and not quads; Poser cloth room seems to really dislike quads in dynamic cloth.

PhilC has a very good video tutorial with voice that covers how the cloth room works, it will help you tremendously getting started. I can see from the shape of the gown that you probably don't want to try to clothify the whole thing at all; the top is tight against the body, so simulating cloth will do you no good for that, and the ruffles on the sleeves will be ruined. The skirt could benefit from being converted to dynamic, but if you do, you probably want to split the model into two parts, and just make the lower skirt dynamic.
Phil Cooke has a lot of things heavily tutorialized actually, one of the reasons I threw him a bunch of money with no regrets even if I end up never using some of the things I bought, because he's very generous in making Poser more approachable for everyone.

I think you're coming up with some really nice variations on your original theme. I still like the fluting of the cloth on the first attempt you posted too, just the overall shape of the bell was a bit to spherical. I'm sure you're on the right track and I look forward to future versions - and depending on what you end up with, you might find a place for it on the marketplace here, there are tons and tons of tight, slinky dresses but almost no hoop skirt formal gowns or period wear. I think all the gown shapes you've put forth have potential.

Honestly that looks really great. You might play with multiple versions, because that dress looks great as is, but you might also try for bigger bells. What you have really does look great though.
Thread: Mousie Ballgown | Forum: Poser - OFFICIAL
You know, I wonder what you would get if you took just the mesh for bell of the gown, took it into Poser, clothified it, and simmed it a little bit over a sphere or rounded cone in the shape of the bell you want, with the Fold Resistance set pretty high. Might save you a good bit of manual tooling. I'm really curious to know what you come up with if you should try this.

Quote - stewer, Miss Nancy, LillianaSapphire, fls13 - I have to admit that I only JUST figured out about the setting for "cast shadows" in the light settings so shadows in my work from over a week ago are hit and miss where shadows are concerned.
That explains so much, and moves me to withdraw most of my comments, I'm sure you will be flashing around some huge improvements to your already quite lovely and unique illustrations. I'm not very experienced myself, and you've obviously got loads of skill and creativity, but funny shadows are the things that always jump out at me in CG art.

Hoop skirts are great and all, just think about the way you have the fluting of the cloth on the bell nicely defined - seems to me something would need to support those folds to hold them out from the rest of the cloth. If you've got a series of hoops pushing the dress out, the folds will tend to lay a lot closer against the hoops (I'm certainly no expert and I don't presume to tell you things you might already know, but ...):

I splurged and bought the whole suite, although I don't know how to use a lot of it yet at this point. In my pretty uninformed opinion, the main thing PhilC's stuff has going for it is that it all works entirely within Poser and requires no third-party tools. From the above, you're obviously pretty comfortable with modeling your own clothes; I'd expect that you could achieve the same results, but PhilC still has some pretty cool tricks up his sleeves and you might find that his tools can save you some time. The Scissors tool is really pretty clean, works very simply and dramatically extends the usefulness of a lot of the built-in clothes. Wardrobe Wizard is also particularly spiffy, and may save you a great deal of time in converting clothing from one character to another.
PhilC himself frequents these forums (which of course you already know, I'm sure) and you might get a reply from him here; he is also pretty responsive to email if you have a genuine feature question.
The gown itself looks very cute, although I might suggest making the bell a bit less regular and cup-like. The fluting of the cloth looks great. Might want to settle the tutu down a bit on the main bell of the lower gown. Very cute, I'd bet it looks great with little mouse ballet slippers ;)

^^ I should have mentioned that, it's one of the first things in PhilC's cloth tutorial video. Good catch.

I have Hexagon :) Looks like Triangulate Non-Planar Facets is the function you want in Hexagon (I've no idea really, but that's what it looks like from reading the manual). Page 215 in the PDF manual.

I've found that if the dynamics settings are set to have fold resistance very low, the cloth can kink to the point where it starts to show holes. Higher fold resistance is safer, but it doesn't allow the cloth to rumple up as much as you might like.
Using cloth made out of triangles instead of quads is generally going to give you better results too (the builtin Hi-Rez Square prop is made out of quads, i.e. it sucks).
