Dynamic Cloth X Walk Designer
Assisted By Materials Room
If there ever was any reason to cough up blood, fall down, roll over and BE dead, this combination of Poser 6 tricks is guaranteed to produce it.
e-Frontier, the people who now own, maintain and sell Poser 6, really know how to kill their customers. We die of apoplexy.
I used Poser-Diva's Dynamic Cloth skirt for James on my Koji-with-James-body-morphs. Skirt kept bloody falling to the dude's ankles by the end of the cloth simulation. How the heck am I going to even get Walk Designer involved when the blinking thing won't even stay on his hips ?! Expletives are very in order here; I don't give an ass-fuck.
So. Take a deep breath, TR-.... Calm Down. Use WinAmp to streamload the most chill-out lounge BGM. Relax, TR-.... See the Tokyo Stock Exchange index rising again today ? Very good. Now you feel better, don't you ? OK, let's try again.
This time I used Young Koji by Khrys. Slapped the fucking damn skirt on him. But this time, I applied Walk Designer first, instead of Cloth Simulation. Oh VR Godz... He's walking like the Abominable Snow-Hag. More expletives. Re-set. Shut down. Re-launch. Repeat procedure. Ah ! He walks nicely enough now, although he is stepping through the cloth of the skirt at this stage.
OK. He's strutting sexily. Now I issue a duel-to-the-death challenge to the Cloth Room. You die or I do. Cloth Room gets it right.
But after so much time, effort and grief on my part, I will not let Poser 6 get away so lightly. Now, you miserable excuse for a 3D CG software, now your Materials Room shall adorn background and ground plane. I don't care how complicated all those fake-clever nodes in the Advance settings tab look. To me, all I care about are the results. And those complicated webs of connections in the Advance Tab of Material Room do indeed look completely laughable.
I guess I must have insulted the damn software enough. It does churn out a few renders which, although not brilliant, do show that the fucking proggie will and can work WHEN IT WANTS TO, fuckdammit.
Take a look at my movie showing the resultant animation of Young Koji walking and the skirt flowing with his strides. It is an approx 200KB zipped AVI format file, to save me space and to save you downloading time (unzipped, it will by about 3+MB).
And here are the stills showing more detail. The Koji ponytail hair seems not to fit Young Koji so well. I love the way the skirt rides low on his hips. Ooh-la-la, just let me get my hands on that and rip it off him. No. Wait. That's what The Dynamic Cloth simulation was doing in the first place. Forget I said it.

No male nudity in this instalment, because I am in a bad mood - all thanks to Poser 6 ! But it is still an 'adult' webpage, because of my cursing and swearing.
