That is indeed and unfortunately correct. I mainly use Poser 7 but still 
have Poser 6 sitting on my machine, so I checked this.

For some reasons (Poser 6 bargain; user survey at Content Paradise) I 
suspect something is cooking at the factory. Either an upgrade to Poser 7 or 
perhaps a Poser 8?

Well... I suppose I take my wishes for reality :-)  Still, strangely enough, 
there is something gnawing at the back of my mind. Kind of hunch...

Interesting. I didn't know about DAZ. When I get the time, maybe I will try to
create bones for LDraw figures so that they can be posed like they are in many
Lego software. (This is one of the major disadvantages of LDraw.)

You make me think O_O
Maybe changing the animation frame rate in Poser will change the gravity
setting(?).
The higher the frame rate the lower the gravity. Does that make sense?
I'll do some testing after I've finished my current animation.

Change the cloth density. It can effectively change the gravity down to 
almost zero.

Cloth density is one of the parameters that I have difficulty using. Where can
you find which cloths weigh what? The gsm of cotton is easy to find but other
materials are more difficult :(
Later I will experiment.
Thanks for the suggestion, FlyerX.

Here's another question: if I were to create the bones and keyframes using one
of these tools, could I then export the animation data back into POV?

Knowing what a cloth weights is not enough as you have to translate that 
info somehow to Poser parameter values. Also, I find that the density 
settings work better in *reverse*! What I mean is: *high* density results in 
a *light*  cloth behaviour; *low* density results in *heavy* or *stiff* 
behaviour. Very weird...

I think this tutorial page will help: 
http://my.smithmicro.com/tutorials/2313.html but see also the other pages. 
Very helpful.

Thanks, Thomas that looks very useful. A good starting point.
