Yes, there is a way to pin portions of the cloth in place, like a sail or a flag. I haven't tried it yet, but it doesn't look like it should be too hard. I haven't tried cloth with multiple figures yet, unless you count the one with the woman in a dress sitting in a chair. There should be no issue with it, though. I don't think wind can me non-global. You can give cloth different elasticity, density, friction, wind resistance, fold reistance, etc. It will take some doing to learn recipes for different kinds of real materials, though. You could make a dynamic catsuit, but thee wouldn't be much point. If you tried to make cloth into skin for a skeleton, it would look like all his muscles and innards had come out... deflated... Might make for a cool :flayed skin" look though. As for part static and part dynamic, I haven't touched those setting yet. They work with the grouping tool and I'm not sure what they are about yet, but they look like they'll offer a lot of great possibilities. Phoenix
