I'm confused sometimes by the descriptions of props and clothing in the downloads section. Will someone please clarify the difference between "smart props" and "posable props" and between "conforming clothing" and "posable clothing?" Thanks.

Smart props are props that will load in attached to the part of the body that they should (e.g. a knife smart prop would load in in the hand or on a belt). Posable props are props that have moving parts, just as posable clothing has moving parts. Conforming clothing is clothing that if you counform it to a figure will attach itself to the figure and move with the figure. At least that's how I see it, hope it's helpful. Anyone feel free to correct me or add anything that I have left out :).

Yeah and poseable clothing is like say a cloak. You wouldn't want it to conform to the body. You would want to parent one end to the neck or shoulders and leave the rest free to pose.
