It doesn't help, unfortunately. So I came here looking for something specific, showing the steps for importing a figure and separate cape (or modeling the cape inside of 3D-Coat).

Unfortunately I don't think you're going to have much luck with a cape with 3DCs cloth tool. Try Marvelous Designer, or Modo.

Yep. 3D-Coat wants to tug on and stretch my cape mesh forever. I used to have MD 1.0. I'll see if my modo 601 does something. I only use it for rendering.

I haven't tried to use it in a long while, but the last time I did, I remember asking Andrew to allow us to pin the cloth. He said you could if you have another object contacting it....like a belt object, when trying to do a simulation for pants, as an example

Cool. I'm pretty sure even in 601 you could pin some verts and run the sim. It's pretty easy to set up to boot.

After create the plane mesh in retopo room, is important to move the edge inside the base mesh model to keep the verts stick.
