Need help finding a clever tip I saw on polycount.

A while back I came across a handy method posted by someone which was about wrapping cloth around a sword handle, the method involved attaching one end of the cloth to the handle and then animating the handle to spin, effectively letting gravity do all of the work for you.

I've tried extensive google/polycount searches but it's rather difficult to pin down since it was a person commenting in a thread with a .gif explaining how they do it, I was hoping someone else has seen this and can remember where to find it? I hate to create a thread just for this but I've ran out of idea's about how I could track this down, it was a great method which I would like to try!

Thanks!

well you seem to already know enough about it to try, what he did was use a cloth sim, and attached one end of the cloth to the handle, and spun it.

if you just searched, you would have quickly found it.

Thank you, I knew the general idea but was hoping the thread could offer some more insight. Annoyingly handle and sim are two words I didn't think to use in the search, used about a hundred others though.
