I've seen both those threads, and I see I said "must find the time to experiment with it" - that was in March 2006. Time flies by so fast, it's no wonder I never have enough of it. I have at least bookmarked the thread now, so I can find it again in another six years. :)

I did have a play with Stegy's dynamic pearl necklaces (linked), but didn't really give them a proper trial. To be fair, the cloth room designers didn't have this sort of use in mind, and pushing the boundaries like this does tend to reveal the compromises that have had to be made. Maybe as computers get more powerful, there will be unbiased physical simulation technologies in the same way that we are now beginning to see unbiased rendering becoming usable.
