I've downloaded POV-Man and the ClothRay patch from
http://tofbouf.free.fr/clothray/index_en.html and it's great for making a
cloth to lay on something... draped over an object like a table cloth or a
picnic blanket or bed sheet or something... but I need to make a flag
hanging on a wall and can't find a way to get ClothRay to do that... there
is apparently a way to make hanging cloths with it, but the website is in
French and the English tutorials don't cover that.  Does anyone know how to
use clothray to do what I need or know of something else I might use?  I
tried creating something manualy but it looks too much like it's made of
cardboard rather than a cloth flag.

HELP!

Thanks,
Dayv

Clothray is included in MegaPOV 1.0. If POV-Man is not requirement then try
MegaPOV. Several things were fixed in Clothray included in MegaPOV and sample
scenes with tutorials.

Hmm.. That tutorial is the same one that was translated from French... about
draping the cloth on an object.  Does anyone know how to attach two of the
corners so it can hang?  I can duplicate the draped cloth over an object..
and I've played with the settings a little, though I don't really understand
what's happeing.  I need it to hang something like this:

Anythoughts?
Thanks!
