Here's a version with a 4096 polygon blanket (64 x 64 polygons, just over four times the polygon density of the first one). The same settings and the same pose were used, with a resulting average time per frame of nearly eight seconds. This took about seven and a half minutes to proccess. Note that it has much better wrinkles, and seems to be a much lighter type of cloth. However, as I said, it took more than ten times as long to calculate in an otherwise identical setting. I should note that at an even higher resolution (128x128 polygons, or more than 16,000 polys), the actual polygon structure of the horse became visible - because the mesh of the blanket was so tight, it had several polygons for each Horse polygon, and thus clearly showed the horse's faceted nature.
