Coolness. Actually, it'll lend itself well to just about any realistic non-spandexy clothing, which is why I racked my brain so hard to come up with it. The toga was simply one of the most complicated meshes to make out of it, quite deliberately. Why do a proof-of-concept on something minor, after all? The biggest direct reason is because I was so unhappy with my Jedi robes at the point I decided I had to come up with the technique. For the heavily draped things, which are entirely or almost entirely made of what I'm calling 'swag lofts', the toga is just one example. I intend to make some capes, cloaks, robes, curtains, blankets, kilts, skirts, even dresses. Trenchcoats. Real ones. Nuns' habits. For the more normal things that can benefit from this technique being partly inegrated into the modelling, how about shirts that don't look like they've been given heavy starch at an overenthusiastic Chinese laundry? Sweaters. Hmm, sweaters. I'm seeing the possibility of more than tube tops and mini skirts for Vicki here... or floppy trousers for Mike. 80's AF baggies. Flares. Or those giant trousers you see the gutterpunks wearing whilst spanging in front of the seals. Yes, I think I came up with a good thing. By the way, you could asked me for the 'longer' MT. B^) Way ahead of you. Had it built before I even CR2-ed the whole thing. I'll probably stick it up in Free Stuff later on.
