And honestly, in cases like Ranma ( I think the ONLY case ), "making" the female counterpart out of the male one isn't very hard.

Yeah I think so.... but I have no clue how xD

I mean, it's obvious that it's possible because people do. I would also like to see this one answered.

 sidenote: First post from my new house. Finally got internet!

I was expecting a lot more activity when I joined. Oh well!

I would definitely invest right now if I had the cash D8

I think they're too big xD

Although I've seen a computer with a record player in it before. Obviously a non standard tower though lol 

hmmm maybe I'll change my idea to making some clothes into clothes with a "tear" dial instead. Would probably be helpful for people in my situation in the future.

Get that and you'll be golden

I ended up figuring it out, using the keyframes. It was as you said, the model was over compensating for the movement. I remidied this by putting the previous pose as a new key frame 5 frame in front of my animation, so the changes would only happen in those 5 frames, which seemed to do the trick.

A very clever use of object properties. +1 internet

Could one, say, sim a dynamic cloth drape to 30 frames, then copy the keyframes and paste them over the ones of frame one, resulting in a dynamic drape in frame 1? I only ask this for animating with dynamic cloth.

Ironically, I just started using that yesterday. Works like a charm!

I have a total of 24 cores in my main pc (2 12 core xeons) and Poser 8 and Poser Pro 2010 will run 100% cpu utilization on win7 64. What OS are you running?

I also have win7 64 bit, I don't know why you're able to to get all of the performance out of yours. The only bottleneck on my system, really, is my hard drive

I'm not sure if you've tried this but:

I've often found that my rendering problems are from settings rather than hardware. I don't know about the rest of the community, but I find that Poser has an intrisic problem with it's hardware usage, as my renders can take an extremely long time sometimes, but it will never even begin to tax my system.

You could try spending around $100 to get a nice aftermarket cooler (and thermal paste) and try overclocking your system. You will get a small improvement, for sure.
