SyFlex. The complete movie is available for download on Daniela's site.

Daniela kindly gave us a few details about his work with SyFlex:
"I had a bit experience with SyFlex before I started working on Neko (my previous
character also had a SyFlexed skirt), so I didn't have too many problems finding a nice Setup for Neko. I spent a few hours on finding the correct Bend, Stretch values etc.
After the setup and animation were finished, I started with the Simulation.
the whole movie had about 2500 Frames. I first did the Skirt, which was really easy. I had to restart the Simulation from T-Pose only 4 or 5 times (3 times the Animation isn't continuous, and the other times her movement was a bit too much for the Sim). So, the Skirt was simulated really fast.
Her Shirt was a bit harder, because her Arms are intersecting with her
upper body and her breast very often. So, most of the Times I simulated 100 Frames in 5 mins and then it took about an hour for the next 5 Frames where I had to add Collider Objects, Pin Constrants etc.
So, in overall I think I spent about 5 days on the cloth simulation.
At the end, when everything was finished (sorry I have to tell you this ^^),
I baked the whole cloth with my own written plugin. Because, the SyFlex Cache didn't support MotionBlur (if you have cached Frame 1 and 2, and go to 1.5 you don't get the inbetween of the two cached files)..."
Syflex:
Thank you Daniela. You will be happy to learn that this functionality was added in our latest release: 3.6.
