:::::::::::   Usage notes :::::::::::


Please follow these steps for your first clothing simulation, or have a look at your 
Poser manual if you are not familiar with the Cloth Room. 

******


Load PE into your scene: 

- Click on PE then in the Menue on "Figure --> Use Inverse Kinematics" and make sure all is unchecked.
- Click on  "Figure", select PE and click on "Zero Figure"

- Open your props library and load the cloth / clothes into your scene.

- Open the Cloth Room and click on "New simulation"
- You can leave the setting as they or change them for your needs.
- Click on "ok"
- Click Clothify and choose the cloth / clothes. It will be listed under props - then hit Clothify to exit the dialog box.

Select Collide Against, then Add/Remove, and choose PE. 
(The simulation will be quicker if you uncheck all bodyparts which will not affect the cloth)
Hit "ok". 

Back in the Collide Against dialog, make sure that the 'Current Collision Object' has PE displayed.
You may want to enable the 'Start draping from zero pose' option. 

Quick hint on Collide settings:
 
Collision Offset is the distance of the cloth from the collision object and Collision Depth is the thickness of the cloth. 
Play with these numbers as needed to get the results you want.
The default "1.0" is usually way to high. Try something between 0.2 and 0.5 instead. 

Hit "ok"

If you work with the default settings (30 frames), go to about frame 15 - 20 and add a pose to the woman. 
I never apply the pose in the last (30th) frame. You will get nicer and smoother folds if you have some frames after the 
frame you added the pose. When the simulation is finished and the result is not to your taste, you can always 
go a few frames back.

Please make sure "cloth self collision" is checkt for this clothing item!


- Click on "start simulation". 


It will take a bit time until the simulation will be done, because the dress has a lot of polygons. 
How much time it will need depends on your computer. 

If you are not satisfied with the result you have, you can play around with the fabric settings. Changes in the settings
can give a large difference for the end result of the simulation. I often use different fabric settings for different poses. 
There is nothing like "best settings" for all poses. 

Please have a look at your manual for further, detailed informations to get the best settings for the look you want.


:::::::::::::::::::

I highly recommend using the Poser morph brush after your simulation if neccessary. 
With dynamic clothes you will sometimes have wrinkles or strange looking areas which need a little bit of work with 
the morph brush!

I hope you will have fun with this set :)
