Poser 5 (obviously) SR4. I'm trying to fit a skirt to a morphed figure following the tutorials at PoserFashion. The first stage went fine. That's the part where you shrink your figure at frame one and inflate them to proper size at frame 30, adjust the cloth parameters so it doesn't fall, and let it chug. I let it run overnight, maybe through work the next day (I forgot to check when I got up; not a morning person), and it was finished when I got home. So, I went to stage 2, where you give it more normal clothy parameters and let it drape. 30 frames again. It's been over 36 hours and its on frame 4. I'm fitting the cheerleader skirt from PoserWorld to a morphed V3, but I only have the abdomen, hip, buttocks and thighs visible and selected to collide with. I thought maybe there could be some interference at the start, so I scaled the character down a couple percent at frame 1 and full size at frame 5. I don't think its hung because of an intersection; I think it's just taking really bloody long. Is there a way to speed this stuff up? Any tricks or anything? I can't wait 2 weeks for calculations every time I want to do a pic! ;)

Frist, make sure there's no intersections before starting the simulation - intersections can confuse it and slow it down horribly. Then - the less polygons, the faster; Sometimes it works just as well to run the simulation on a low-res figure and then replace the low-res figure with a corresponding hi-res figure.
