It worked no where near as good as your demo above though, very exciting stuff ^^ I hope this project makes to it a release!

Who wears a T-shirt tucked perfectly in to their pants? I've seen plenty "Flexi skirts" so something is almost possible but like I mentioned, it's dependant on AV size generally, a really fat or skinny AV will look funny since it won't be large/small enough at the edge/waist. That sucks that they removed joints. I've had several ideas that i suddenly ealized i could not build to to the lack of proper joints.

It would be wonderful to have a working version of them. And a working physics engine in general. :) Making clothing drape nicely is really hard! I do wonder what kind of non-CPU-killing approximations of it one might do though...

I certainly hope we get this sort of thing eventually. You're basically talking about joining two prims via a point as opposed to "rigidly joined by magic". For what it's worth, I'd also love to see a slight revamp/update to the clothes system so clothes are not just painted on. This would allow say, coats and shirts that hang loose below the waist and, something almost pointless that has always bugged me, the ability for shirts to "stretch between boobs". Women's fashions sometimes come off as odd since the tops always follow all of the curves of the body. Sure you can fake some of this with flex prims but it's just not the same and it's heavily dependent on AV size. I'm going on too much of a tangent now...
