So what if I make a dynamic clothing item for M4 and want to redistribute it? How do I package this? If I create the item and take M4 out of the scene it loses the simulation.

Thanks

You don't want to distribute the simulation anyway. The user will create their own. Saving the clothing as a prop will include any dynamic zones etc. that you may have defined - that's all you need to do.

I've discovered that when I save a dynamic dress to the library, it doesn't keep the simulation parameters.

But, there is a parameter dial for "dynamic" 1.0.   

Are the cloth settings, like fold, friction, choreographed group stuff all in the parameter dial?

Does setting the dial to zero turn off the dynamics?

I haven't tried adding rigid bits, yet.
I'm verry verry scared.

I thought it was - the locations of the different vertex groups (constrained etc.) certainly are. However I can't find anywhere in a PP2 that stores the parameters. Saving to a scene file (PZ3) does seem to store them, so there may be some cunning way to include that in a PP2, the Poser file format being what it is.

I'll hang around and see if anybody comes up with any good ideas...
