hmm..actually jbrugion has a good point about the difference between Mathmatically correct and Visually correct...I found out the hard way that what is usually mathematically correct (read: clothing maintains the BASIC contour it had in the original position) usually looks visually 'unnatural'... From what I've seen, and IDEAL solution would be to have a killer 'draping' algorithm if you will that would simulate the 'dropping' of the item over the body and modify the contour of the clothing accordingly, with an algorithm like this one could get the 'natural' differences of actually putting a larger sized shirt on a model (you would have to scale the shirt before an algorithm like this would effectively 'cover' the model or it would look like your model had a shirt on that was too short, but this actually happens in nature no?)... I've only seen one article on something like this (wish I knew where it was...it was months ago :), and the guy took something like half a day for each run and the number of control points were ENORMOUS...
