Any suggestions as to how to generate a model of a tablecloth draped over a
table along with mapping coordinates so that it looks like a continuous piece
of cloth (i.e. real)?
Jay,
The table cloth can be a box mesh with the bottom faces and/or 2 sides removed.
Your pattern can then be a 2-sided material. Using planar mapping, set your
map plane at a 45 degree angle to all 3 axes.
