I was shown a new way of applying a cloth to a character by a tutor. I have a few different characters
that have cloaks, caps and other items of clothing that need a cloth modifier. I started by using an old
character model from another assignment and adding a Garment Maker modifier. This then allowed
me to apply the cloth modifier to the rectangle and size it up to the correct size. I then had to use the
group modifier under the cloth section and attach it to the shoulders so it wouldn't just slide off when I
simulate the cloth. I think it looks pretty good for a test run, i think with a better modeled character
and spending more time on making the groups, it would look a lot cleaner and more realistic.

I then applied a wind modifier and manages to get the cloak to stick to the character in the correct
places. This gives me some confidence in my ability to add this to my characters for the temple

Next i wanted to see how the cloak would react on a moving character, so i grabbed an older
animation that i did to test this out. I had some problems with this, the first was the cloak not
sticking to the character and it would freeze when i started the character animation. To fix this i had
to change the position of the cape so that it's not touching the character in any spot, apart from the
shoulders. This helped to stop the sticking, the wind modifier didn't work the first couple of times but
eventually i managed to get that to activate as the character walks forward.

The cloak can come in contact with the legs and it won't stick. I think I will give my character a cape
to wear because with a couple more tests I should get it to work properly.
