I did notice. It is a nice effect.

Looking better but something needs to be done with that green top. It 
looks as if it has been through the wash too many times. ;-)


reinstall some libraries.

constrained group.

I agree. Something that needs more work. Cloth parameters are tricky to 
get right. Already here, stretch resistance is fairly high (the params 
are mainly based on silk) and the hem is narrower than the top. Still, 
the result is not totally satisfying. I continue working on it though.

By the way, the latest Poseray solution for dynamic hair is quite 
satisfying (cylinders instead of sheets). I am working on a beard and 
hair for my Beggar and the main concern now is to get a satisfying 
texture. I shall show some results soon.

I meant that you should try putting at least a few points of the front 
of the hem in the constrained group. That should keep it close to the 
models body.

Bishop3D will work with.  I tried running PAE from Poser++ to animate 
some hair today but found that PAE will only work with Poser 4 BVH 
files. Drat!
I upgraded my Poser 7 to Poser Pro 2010 to take advantage of my 64 bit 
system. It is much faster loading and saving scenes than Poser 7, 

much since I upgraded it in March

Yes. A more interesting solution is to apply a bit of wind force, here 
coming from the staircase. That solves the issue, although I need to 
look into a couple of other issues concerning the top itself.

I see. Well, you will need at least to wait for the beta to turn into 
Poseray v.3.13 (or whatever) probably when POV-Ray exits the RC stage(?).

I use Poser 8 now mostly. It works far better under Windows 7 than under 
WinXP where I still needed Poser 7 for several things. I do not intend 
for the time being to upgrade to Poser 9 or the latest Poser Pro. The 
program works fine for me at this moment and I did not see any real 
major improvements which I might need.

Given the build of the lady, she need a tie string around her stomach.
Given the environment, buttons where prety exclusively used as 
decorations, and lacing was used everywhere we now use buttons and zippers.

Exactly so.
