I posted this a few days ago in .utilities, but no response yet. :( Maybe
one of you can figure out how to add this feature and put out a clothsim
patch. :) Here's my simple request: Can you please add the ability to rotate
objects? At least boxes? At least on and around the y (z for the clothsim)
axis?

Tony,

Jerome only visits these newsgroups on a Friday, so you may be better off
mailing him direct.

I too would welcome the feature you requested, although of late I've been
using povman 0.71.3 for Windows, which has the Clothray patch built in. It
allows you to use absolutely any POV object, which are declared using POV
syntax alone (so rotates etc can be used). Maybe this would help you.

Hmm...

I soooo with Jerome and these other cloth guys would make a common model and
use it in both their patches. That way, you could make cloth in and out of
POV, and it would behave the same.

Maybe. I'll have a look at it next week... very busy now.
