Conforming vs. Dynamic Cloth

As mentioned in The Figures Category, conforming clothing is a Poser figure, while dynamic cloth consists of props with dynamic and other behaviors applied to simulate cloth. Poser supports both types of cloth.

Dynamic cloth adds incredible realism to your scenes by causing cloth objects to move as they would in real life. For example, you can use dynamic cloth to create the following types of items in your Poser scene:

• A tablecloth that drapes over a table
• A slip cover over furniture
• A flowing skirt that moves as a figure walks

Dynamic cloth objects require increased computing resources beyond those of conforming clothing. Items such as socks, bikinis, or tights don’t need to be dynamic since in real life these types of clothing tend to be close-fitting with little to no room for independent motion. You should generally use conforming clothing for these situations because it requires fewer computing resources.
