Thanks for the advice guys. I'll definitely check all those out. Slideknit looks way interesting. Actually, I've noticed on one of the images in the CGhub page he says this: Which is interesting cause I never thought of using skinwrap in that way. Isn't that basically what Slideknit does, only with the object's UVs?
I've been playing The Witcher 2 recently, and I'm really impressed by the character art in that game. I've been analyzing it lately, and I'm stumped about the chainmail. I've seen some techniques where you wrap it around the UVs of an object. But they seem to be doing more than just that. Scudz linked me the CGhub for one…
