Hi Juergen!

The cloth does interact with the sphere and the floor. My later posts do
interact with air (though I'm still not very happy with it). However, the
earlier algorithm just "pushes" the cloth out of the sphere, whereas my
later experiments change the forces in order to "slide" over the surface.
Also, this new method gives me the possibility of applying a friction
coefficient to the sphere, but I haven't experimented on that. But I could
try doing it and visualize it as a rough rocky sphere....

Thanks for your comments!

Fernando.
