What I found took so long to learn was what the different settings do. Even now, I'm not entirely certain about all of them ;o).

As far as dynamic vs. conforming, I see comparing them a little like comparing apples and oranges - completely different technologies. Let's say you have a sofa. You throw grandma's afghan over it. It fits, but it doesn't look spectacular in places and it drapes oddly in others. That's conforming. Then you get the fitted slip covers made just for the sofa...that's dynamic. Fits a lot nicer everywhere ;o). Takes longer to put them on, but in the end, it's a much nicer look. See where I'm going? Maybe a stupid analogy, but I'm not very good with analogies...lol.

There are pros and cons to both dynamic and conforming, but the biggest pro I see with conforming is that a morphed figure is much easier to manage with dynamic clothing. If the morph isn't too severe, the cloth should drape right over the morphs as if the clothing was made for them. With conforming, you either need extra scripts or a bit of massaging with the morph brush to get rid of poke thru. The biggest con so far is that it's just not as easy to manage cloth that has lots of details and that's where conforming shines.

It all boils down to what you want for the image and the amount of time you're willing to spend on it ;o).
