OK...it's pretty down & dirty and I'm sure there's a better way to do it but this is what I did...;)

To quote Darth Vader, "Most impressive!"
 Mark, I am very thankful you spent all that time creating the tutorial.  I will alter my techniques to do what you have said and maybe it will work for me.  The tutorial should help a lot of people who need to do a similar thing.

Superb stuff Mark,

I will do my best to get my approach up this evening sometime.

Glad it helped.
If nothing else it may give you some ideas to try. 
As I say there is probably a better way to achieve what you're after than this method..but it works for me!:P

And Alan can set me straight!!!:D:D:D

Hi Mark,

I certainly will not put you straight, we all have our own approaches to solving problems and in my opinion they are all valid if they get the job done and your video is excellent.

So here is me teaser video.  Very early days, still a bit rubbish, but just wanted to check I could get a cloth pass over from one character to another going followed by a wrap around the waist.  Once I have it all working there will on course be a video tutorial.

Oh now that's cool!!! Got to see how that's done bud!!!:D

Mark, Alan,
I found out why my cloth was jumping all over the place.  Mark, in your tutorial, when you showed me the cloth you used, it was under the Physics tab - Cloth 64x64.  I was using the cloth under the Flex Cloth tab.  Apparently, those cloths have animation within themselves, so it would never calm down.  Now my towel works perfectly. Thanks so much for your tutorial. The animation will help me do what I need to do.  Alan, if you are still working on a tutorial of wrapping the towel around the hips, go ahead if you still wish, because I have not seen a tutorial other than Mark's, manipulating a soft cloth that is not a dress or a flag.

Once again, thank you two for all your help. It is much appreciated.

That is a very cool method, and would also be handy for wrapping a sarong or similar clothing. :)

OK here is the full demo, the tutorial is uploading to YouTube now.  It is however 1 hour 25 minutes so hopefully no one will fall asleep!!

This is not meant to be a masterclass in character animation so please forgive me for that and concentrate on the concept of the technique.



And here is the tutorial



Having created 50 hours plus for the Fundamentals Course I must learn to do shorter tutorials.  But hey at least I am trying to be thorough.
