I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not, but I figure I'll give it a shot. Do any of you know how I can have certain things (clothing, hair, particles, chest for female types) to react with physics so that they're free-flowing instead of just sitting there, which is really unrealistic for animation. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What software are you using? I know someone did a "breast bounce" for the P3 female, and I suspect Poser magnets would work for this, if you're really patient (and don't mind having a LOT of keyframes). Some other programs have things like collision detection and wave effects that might work also.

At the time being, I'm using Rhino, P4, and Bryce, but I've been looking for more physic-oriented software and am willing to get whatever software it takes. I think I'll look into the Poser mags as a temporary fix, check around and stuff, the keyframes don't really bother me, and keep my eye out for a good program that can handle real-time movements, 'cause I'd like to eventually get to working on creating a game when I get my skills worked up enough. Thanks for the help :)

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you! Cool, though, and good luck!

in poser 4, the breasts of the nude female figure can be made to bounce simply by applying positive and negative droop parameters. this looks rather natural. if she is to be clothed, you'll need magnets. I suggest that you fo to poser free stuff here at renderosity, and download wyrmmaster's breast magnets.

Clothes? Who needs clothes.

also, if you want things to bounce in unison, e.g. hair and clothing, you can parent both their magnets to a cube or a sphere or something, placed off-screen. That way, if you move the sphere, both magnets move.
