I´m looking for a tool like dirk do!. It's not necesary to animate at all. I think It could be a kind of tool that conform a surface on another object. Its like a displacement map but using a 3d object to deform the plane surface.
to make clothes over the character´s bodies is usefull to use the push/pull (JVN) ruby plugin, .
You can use the FFD pluging to adjust que cloth over the body, I use the scale and move tool too. But is very hard to do. The best way is working on a simetrical half of aN object. You can make a component of it, duplicate and invert (flipping over an axe. adjust one part to the other and you only have to work in a half to see changes in the other at the same time. It´s easier to work on the whlole model at he time.
I´m sorry but I very bad at english!
