Ok got another one for ya;

I’ve done this so many times but for some reason I can’t seem to save the character on the left in a special folder I’ve created in Poser called My Figures.

I’ve done everything correctly Posed my figure at frame 30 then I went back and applied svdl’s dynamic skirt for V3 and run my Simulation; everything ok so far.

I also converted RT-Maharanis V3 Indian Sari Top from a conforming to dynamic prop, applied and ran my simulation; once again everything ok.

I then parented everything to my figure rendered and saved all is still well.

My problem is when I try to save this as a figure in my figures folder the dynamics will not stay draped over her body.

Picture far right you see were I’ve done this same thing with V3 Morphing Fantasy Dress after converting to dynamic clothing prop.

Any Ideas what I’m doing wrong with this one particular figure?

Thanks

If you want to save your cloth as a dynamic cloth in the library, you save the start pose object - because you don't want the cloth to be draped for one pose, you might use it for anyother.

If you want to save your cloth draped for use in another program, you have to export it in a 3d format like obj or 3ds. 

Have I understand you right?

When you save a Poser document as a PZ3, the cloth dynamics are saved in a separate file with a name like PZ3name_Sim_1_ClothName.dyn. This doesn't happen when you save to the library, so the dynamic information is no longer associated with it. As Adorana says, that means it's easier to save your character in the zero pose, and it will be ready for simulation as soon as you load it.

Dang it man!!!!!!   You guys are to much.   What your saying is save this in zero pose at frame 3,
Then when Im ready import in th my scene and run the sim; is that correct?

I can't tell if you're happy with that answer or not. :) You're right, yes, although nobody mentioned frame 3. Your figure is probably in zero pose at frame 1 - that's the norm for cloth simulation. You'd save your character plus parented clothing at frame 1. When you want to use your character again, add it to the scene from the library, apply the pose at a later frame and run the sim.

Yes Bob I understand and am greatful for your reply   
Also visited your site and wow!!!  nice models man 
Want to talk with you bout something later
Thanks again

There's a work around for saving Characters to your Library with the dynamics already done but it involves knowing how to edit a PP2, CR2, or PZ2 file so that it calls a PZ3 file which has the proper DYN files associated with it already in place on your hard drive.

First you save your character with all the dynamics calculated as a PZ3 file wherever you wish to put it. This will create the neccesary DYN files which store all the dynamic simulation settings. Then you edit one of the above mentioned library files to call and load that particular PZ3 whenever you want it.

Here's a sample PP2 file that calls a PZ3:

{
version
     {
     number 4.0
     }
     readScript ":Runtime:Libraries:Scenes:Amazon Palace.pz3"
     }
}
