Thanks Matt...could give that a go too...although I think ICE syflex only works on poly? Eric...good suggestion for a starting point..will try that. I was referring to the default cage deformer...didn't think about hull deformer. I was looking at a few images and demos on syflex's website for the Assassin's Creed trailer. Pretty awesome setup they had with multiple layers of clothing. The ICE Syflex seems much more powerful at first and is definitely faster I think but lacks some of the tools the addon version has like weightmaps. There's another one I'm looking for an answer too. Although I figured if I was able to blend a syflex mesh with a weighted mesh using a weight map in ICE, I'd be set!
