Subject: The new collision/gravity/cloth features look a lot like Cinema 4D's "Dynamics"

Lets hope that the similarity ends there. Apparently collision detection is the most difficult to model on a computer. Cinema 4D's Dynamics plugin has it but it doesn't work with complex meshes. The same goes for their clothing modeling. While the advertisement for it looks good it is very, very weak. I beat my brains out for almost a week trying to get the Poser dress to act like a real dress on the posette character (i.e. act like real cloth and collide with the posette figure). The problem is the high poly count in the meshes. Poser 5 will most likely have new clothing figures which are very, very low on the poly count. Unfortunately what all this means is that the wonderful clothing items made by artists here will become obsolete or the high poly count in them will not allow them to be modeled as cloth.
