Synchronicity. I just resumed work on an image I have been troubling with for 3 years...because I want dynamic robes flowing like water.  And here is this thread, with all of you wonderful people (including Mr Wizard himself: BB, and one of my newest heroes aRtBee; the two of you make my jaw drop in wonder) working the same thing.  Wow.  Thanks.

This is awesome and I am hoping for more.  If I can contribute I certainly will.

 

I've been over that SM tutorial on the Cloth Room and its effects several times, and have used those settings as a jumping off point to get some good effects.  But this crystal ridge, and the cloth self collisions... FRUSTRATING! Doesn't help that I am using conforming clothes that I have just pulled in the OBJ to make dynamic... but still.
