Hi.  I've been away from the newsgroup for awhile.  I was wondering if the
various cloth patch/sim, whatevers have been worked on recently. I have a
couple of image ideas that require clothlike objects, and am wondering if
they can do what I would need them to do. ;)

  I'm just starting to use POVman, wich includes the fantastic
"simcloth{}" by Bouff. I also have good ideas, but not all are posible,
at least not directly. I've done the obvious "tablecloth" one, and some
other more interesting, like a hanging towel and the typical
"wrinkled-hanging-cloth" on classic "still life" pictures. Good cloths
need very very big meshes, specially if you want them to interact with
little objects. But, what do you want to do?

Well, about a year ago, I wrote my own cloth simulator.  It worked quite
well, in fact, though I didn't have collision detection, which was a major
loss.

Right now, I need to do some draping over objects, specifically mesh
objects.  With MPs solid meshes, I should be able to do something, I was
thinking, but I wasn't sure any of the cloth sims could handle that yet.

I tried finding the URL, but doing a search on the povray page for cloth
turns up Xavier Provost's stuff, but nothing else, which was disappointing.

POVMan's last version (source+window's binaries) are in Bouf's homepage: 
http://tofbouf.free.fr/clothray/download_en.html
There is cloth tutorial as well (just follow links)

HTH,
