I modelled a simple v-neck top for the G2 females using blender. I created material groups and exported it to an obj file. Poser did not see the material groups. So I tried exporting it to a 3ds file, and then the groups came in perfectly.

I loaded Olivia and the garment, positioned and scaled the garment, parented it to Olivia's hip, and entered the cloth room. I created a new simulation, clothified the top, set Olivia as the collision object, put a relaxed standing pose at frame 20, and calculated the simulation. All dynamic settings are at the defaults.The top does not intersect Olivia anywhere.

I get a message that it is calculating dynamics, and the almost immediately a message that "simulation failed at frame 0". I can't seem to get around this.

I would be so grateful for any help.
