This thread was bound to come along sooner or later so I thought id bring it up first^_^

What is the best method of making a harness that can wave around smoothly like a real harness would and form to the character nicely.. Any tips,tutorials, advice would be greatly appreciated because I dont have the foggiest idea how to make one.

maybe an application for maya cloth - it's leather in the end

I've seen this done before, but have not done it myself so I can't give you the details on how it works...but:

- make the surface live.
- draw a curve on the surface.
- extrude a strap/harness along the curve
- Allow the history to deform the extrusion as the creature moves(Don't Delete history)

hope this helps
