I really don't want to sound ungrateful but there's a danger I might... but... anyway.

What we need is for someone who does use the Cloth Room and who does get consistently usable results to contribute to this thread and share his/her experience and knowledge.

As well meaning and generous as the advice so far has been, it does seem to me (and here's the bit where I might annoy people) that everyone so far has simply been commenting from the sidelines without having used the Cloth Room for anything other than a square draped over a cube. That's why I asked if someone had actual pictures of their experience in the Cloth Room (which has gone unanswered). In the Materials For Dummies thread all that time ago, bagginsbill came in and posted results from which I'm sure many people (including myself) learned tons of stuff. As interesting as saying something like "Well, in the Material Room you can string together lots of nodes to create some realistic material effects. See, you can do math calculations and all kinds of really neat stuff!" might have been, it really only would have helped someone who had no idea what the Material Room was for. Instead, the pictures that bb posted showed that he had the experience and knowledge to understand what was really going on. Same with the Cloth Room. I think everyone who is even semi-proficient with Poser knows what the Cloth Room is for. It's the next dozen steps that are being sought here. Requests such as "This value here, can you show me what effect it will have on my draped cloak if I double its value?" being addressed are infinitely more useful to everyone than paraphrases from (what could easily be) a Poser advert's features list.

So... simple request: Has anyone here managed successfully to use dynamic clothing on a figure doing something like sitting on a chair? If so, can you post pictures and discuss the settings and technique you used?
