Hello all you wanted shots? I give you shots. My problem is in p5, i have a modified V3 and i'm trying to use the dynamic clothes of sdvl( site or person who made some dynamic clothes in free area). This is the problem, stuff sticks out, dresses not attach corectly, arms are not covered by sleeves, etc, etc. WHY?? Some of these dresses( most) even don't attach correctly to unmodified V3. it's just a mess. What can i do? or should i just give up with P5 and hope this will be improved in p6, which i plan to get?? thanks

Two steps that might help: 1: turn off Inverse Kinematics 2: use the Joint Editor to Zero the figure. Vicky loads with legs and arms slightly bent. Then do all your loading of dynamic clothes and calculate your simulation. What you are seeing is not a bug in Poser 5, nor a problem with SVDLs dresses (SVDL actually helped me to finally understand the Cloth Room!). Good luck! Shogakusha

Do you know how to use the Cloth Room? If not, check out some of the dresses at PoserFashion.net. They come with detailed, step-by-step instructions. Dynamic clothing is completely different from conforming clothes.

If you do know how to use the Cloth Room...make sure that Vicky's body is entirely inside the dress at the beginning of the simulation. Change her pose in the first frame so nothing is sticking out. If necessary, scale her or the dress. Set the scale and pose as you wish them at frame 30, and the dress should drape and stretch to fit correctly.

One odd thing about sdvl's clothing: it comes in parented to Vicky. Sometimes that causes problems. Try parenting it to universe instead, and allowing some drape frames.
