Introduction
Due to a request from Pitapan I am going to present the ideas I have behind creating cloth flowing clothes for CC characters.
I will present the ideas I have that help me create what I consider to be reasonable physics cloth flow according to my understanding and capabilities and how I like to model.
This is not going to be a tutorial that shows how to do things because there are already plenty of those. Instead I will try and focus on how I resolve problems such as cloth penetration.
I will be building this topic over the next week or 2.......I hope. Might take longer depending on whether what I have to say is found helpful or not.

If anyone finds anything I have to say to be helpful for them then I will find doing this to have been worth the effort.


UPDATES
1st Mar 2017 :- added 2nd Post called   CC Character Preparation
1st Mar 2017 :- added 3rd Post called    Modelling The Clothes For Effective Cloth Flow
2nd Mar 2017 :- Added 4th Post called      Preparing The Clothes For Rigging In Blender
2nd Mar 2017 :- Added Create The Clothings UVMap to the 4th Post
2nd Mar 2017 :- Added Export The Character And Clothings For iClone to the 4th Post
2nd Mar 2017 :- Added 5th Post called Testing The Cloth Flow In iClone
3rd Mar 2017 :- Added some more comments to Testing the cloth flow in iClone 5th Post
3rd Mar 2017 :- Added 6th Post called Weight Painting The Clothes
4th Mar 2017 :- Added Separate UVMAP Into Selectable Groups to the 
6th Post
4th Mar 2017 :- Added animation test to the 6th Post

And that pretty much covers my workflow. Is it the best way to do it? Probably not but it works for me and I rely on doing things how they work for me and learning better ways as I progress.
And there would be my main suggestion "learn by doing". Work on things and don't get too frustrated over problems. I find I learn the most from things that don't work.

I will continue with some suggestions and ideas though
