Sorry, but you are mistaken, the error is the association of "Dynamic Cloth and Strand Based Hair" with Poser 2010. IIRC SM "improved" some of the functions/UI for 2010, but it was there long before that. In fact, I was the first person to develop dynamic clothing for Glamorous Jessie, a Jim Burton re-work of the Jessie figure that came with Poser 5. Here is a render of Glamorous Jessie in the dynamic cloth outfit I created for her: https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/gallery/i-wonder-/1386549/ (yes, it's pretty bad, but that was Poser 5). Here is another image done with the same outfit, refitted to V3, and rendered in Carrara Studio 4 Pro using Transposer to move the figure (with dynamic cloth) into Carrara for rendering: https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/gallery/eve-wip-/887298/ . If you still have the box, then you probably still have the manual, which will clear up the confusion. Wikipedia is often wrong, or as in this instance, missing some critical information.

Seriously though, you should remember the introduction of dynamic cloth in Poser 5, it was a really big deal. Just incase you still don't believe it, here is a tutorial from 2005 on Dynamic cloth in Poser 5 https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/tutorial/?tutorial_id=868 (sorry, live links seem to be broken right now, so you'll need to copy/paste the url's).

Well it is possible that I'm recalling it incorrectly. I won't say without doubt that it isn't but as noted, Wiki has it listed in two sections. But my only point originally was that the development of dynamic cloth simulation and even conforming clothing were all gigantic leaps forward when nobody else had it. This system of grand steps and big innovations is what made me salivate every time a new version was coming out. That hasn't happened since 11. There was simply nothing to feed the 20 year Poser fan in me. And so I never bought it. I got it gifted to me by Bondware as an apology that Smith stopped my GameDev from working (a blatant violation of my EULA with them). That's another rant for a different thread. But anyway, the point wasn't "when" the innovations occurred but rather that they did and quite regularly with new versions --- and now they don't.
