Yes, I believe that is certainly true for animation. Stills are a lot more 
easier.

One thing I did yesterday, was exporting a conforming cloth in 3DS, import 
it in Wings3D, and lo! the endcaps were there!!!

Hmm... No, in Silo I have first to merge the different meshes into one.
Those redundant faces and polygons might indeed intersect... However, if 
you make the animation in Poser, there shouldn't be any redundant faces, 
should there? Or am I making a false assumption here?
