I am not sure if this helps… I needed to animate cloth unrolling from a spool. What I did was to animate the spool spinning first. On top of this I placed a flat 'box' shape of the same color as the cloth… such that no seam was visible when rendered. I then took the final output (a FLC file) and manually added some 'noise' to the flat surface to indicate the it was also moving. The result was a sheet of cloth being pulled from a spool (which was acceptable to my customer). I hope this helps…. Tom Wojtowicz
