Had a little free time today.  So I modelled this coat-stand that is near to
me in the office.  Then I thought it would look nice with something hung on
it, so I wrote a quick cloth simulator in SDL :-)

Isn't perfect by any means, I need to simulate with a finer grid so that
parts of the cloth don't go inside the object.  This took 4 minutes to parse
and about 30 seconds to render.

And now it's 5pm so I will go home.  Have a good weekend everyone!

wrote a quick cloth simulator? you make it sounds like the task is no more
difficult than making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!

Well as you can see it doesn't work very well.  It is quite easy, just a 2D 
array of points, then each loop it checks how far each point is away from 
all the neighbours, and moves it a bit.

Needs a lot of tweaking... but it is a start.
