0 spinout Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 It is an animation which exploits matrix modification to it's best. Simply put, the bottom seam of his cape is a separate "bone" which shares vertecies with the upper part of his cape which is not part of that bone, and matrix manipulation - in both display lists of the cape, and the actor file - gives the illusion of cloth. I'm sure some programmer at Nintendo scratched his head for a week getting it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
