The possibilities are endless, you can use ClothWorks to create a lot of different organic objects, more examples at the end of the day or tomorrow.

thank you Oxer for your second sketch

I continue to fail at the simplest things
  How do I make cloth and Pin sticking together?

But seriously...
When I converge the cloth+frame with the balls (collider), the cloth doesn't bend as I would expect...
I press the ClothWorks play button, click the frame (pin) and drag the red arrow towards the balls, but the cloth just remain stiff and doesn't fold around the balls...
I don't get the result HornOxx is showing in his animation...

I assume that's caused by the cloth isn't "inside" the frame...?!? - 
HornOxx & Frederik, the trick is to create the frame with 3 elements because if the frame is an unique object ClothWorks creates a box for the pin and this makes that the cloth does not move. See the image.

REMEMBER: The cloth should enter a little in the frame.

But like I wrote...
I don't have the issue HornOxx is experiencing...
The frame and the cloth moves correct when I click the play button, click the frame and move the frame and cloth by dragging the red arrow that emerge, when I click the frame...

 - 
REMEMBER: Create the frame with 3 slats to do the cloth moves. See the image of my previous entry.

Ok... I've made the frame with 3 slats...
At first I couldn't make it work - because I had grouped them...One IMPORTANT info is missing...
You need to move the frame-pins one by one...
It can't be done by moving all three in one go...

 - 
Select the 6 slats and converge with shift or ctrl key while you move them, that is the trick

Got it...

Hold down the shift-key when clicking the pins and then converge...!
This gives me a ton of new options and ideas...
Thanks, Oxer...!

 - 
For a non native english speaker. Could you explain what converge is?
Googling it didnt help.
 - 
Bring together.
Move toward each other as if to become one.
Two paths can converge into one and diverge back into two. - 
Thanks.

Strange...
I get a lot of results - especially if I write "define: converge" in Google...
Even Google translate has a nice explanation...

 - 
Nice work with this!

What I meant was simply that I didnβt understood the meaning of the word using Google.

No worries, Jan... I actually just wanted to make you aware of the "define: xxxxx" option available in Google...
I'm fairly sure you would have found reasonable explanation and understanding if you had used that option... - 
A new use for ClothWorks, create organic shapes, rendering with Thea Render.

Excellent! But it needs a meatball and some grated parm.
