i am more of a visual learner, so reading the manual doesnt completely help and i'm new to animation anyways. i tried going to youtube to look for some tutorials on MAKING cloth, not manipulating it. but i couldnt find anything.

so i was wondering if anyone knew how to make cloth because according to the manual, it says something about turning an object into cloth. how do you make cloth for a figure? and turn it into something like a shirt or skirt or something like that. and what kinds of objects or parts are best for cloth groups???
