Hi all! Now I really need your advice. Im currently doing a character similar to this: ClickMe (http://www.teamgt.com/francis/art/04_priest02.jpg)
Im planing to animate it with with some sort of slow walk cycle and maybe some wind. I will also make some poses. I've never done anything with cloth before so I want to get on the right track from the beginning. How shall make the cloth? I have Maya Cloth but is that the best way? Maybe polys with alot of bones and stuff?

Thanks!

If you have maya cloth, then by all means use maya cloth.

Thank you.
Is it possible to model the initial cloth with polygons to get extra detail and then convert it to cloth that can be simulated?
I'm thinking about these hard metal/rubber pieces on the cloth border that are a part of the cloth. :wip: ClickMe (http://www.teamgt.com/francis/art/04_priest01.jpg)

Thanks!

you should do it like they say in the online tutorial. this gives the best results. make the panles like one would make them with real cloth as the sover is based on real physics. good luck, its a lot of trial and error :)
