OK, just playing with an outfit I treated myself to for my b'day last month, which is for Dawn and a couple of other characters. It's a dynamic set, and I've gotten fairly good at working with dynamic clothing in the past year or so, thanks to beta testing for Satira, who does a lot of dynamic sets. I've gotten to like working with dynamic cloth.

This is the kind of clothing that would benefit from constrained groups for the most part to simplify and speed things up. Dynamics shine at parts that are not close to the body, like ponchos, skirts, capes, and dresses. This one is a pretty good candidate for conforming. I see nothing that justifies it being dynamic.
Playing with the just released Octane 4 in Poser (official release last night!), the new 3D paths from Poser 11.1, Walk Designer, and my upcoming Body Type-8 that is currently on the store QAV. It uses my side-parted hair and shoes. I had to cut the size down because of uploading file size limitations. GIF animations are extremely inefficient when it comes to image quality and file size. It's probably the worst in both cases, but there is still nothing better. Does HW support animated PNGs?
You can see the full sized animation by clicking on it.

I'm not sure, but I know there have been videos on product pages. I just don't know about animated PNGs or GIFs.
As far as that outfit being good for conforming, I have to agree. It's a very simple style, so rigging shouldn't be too hard. I just don't remember if the vendor does conforming, or just finds it easier to do dynamic for multiple figures.

I can see the appeal for making one outfit and refitting it to many figures as dynamic. That's probably the reason. I have seen plenty of it at Rendo.
It's kind of unbelievable that GIF is still the only option for web animations after decades. There was some fuss about animated PNGs, but I don't know what browsers (or forums) support them. We are stuck with highly inefficient GIFs.

Indeed, PNGs are not limited to GIFs 256 color and only 8-bit transparency. I just don't know decent tools to create animated PNGs, if it offers better file sizes, and what sites support the format. It doesn't seem very popular, but there must be something better than grampa GIF.
Nice Kitty!
Thanks, I love cats! ^^
