I have a character, and i want to get her clothes, and i want the clothes really deform her body or even having a little wave. Does XSI have anything like cloth? and how do i apply.
goto www.edharriss.com in the tutorial section under animation tutorials. you will find here a tut of basic cloth animation. it is good to learn to make an object as cloth and animate them. what do you want is a "bit" more complicate, and sorry, i don't know. try a little bit...
Yes this is not what i want. But thanks anyway, i 've a basic idea how cloth works now. But clothes need to deform. That is mainly what i am looking for. How do i apply the effective object asociate with the cloth.
If you haven't bought a seperate cloth license, it's not going to work no matter what you do... 
Unfortunately you'll have to wait till version 2.0 comes out to have it included in with XSI without having to fork out heaps of dough for it...
If you do have a license for it, to make your cloth react to the body of your character, make clusters that you define as cloth and collision objects... 
Salocin.

Not true. Cloth will still be at an extra charge in XSI v2.0. But instead of paying $3,000 like in the past year, you'll only need to pay something around $500 (give or take $100).

Okay, thx for suggestions anyways. For now, i am poor. Maybe i just leave my character naked. How is that sound? Is there any upgrade version for 2.0? I don't want to buy another whole package of 2.0. Becaues it's really expansive.
That's really pissweak on Soft's behalf... not only is it a really weak cloth simulation engine, but every other package has had it fully integrated and fully part of the package for ages now, at no extra cost. And then they wonder why people are still not jumping on XSI??? When it comes to marketing strategies, these guys totally suck.
Getting off my soapbox now...
what are you talking about?. maya costs 16k in order to get cloth. max doesnt have cloth unless you buy a plugin, neither does houdini( from what i can remember.( and neither does mirai,
the only app that i can think of that has intergraded cloth is lightwave,
on another note. yo a beta tester?. how can you be certain its pissweak ...unless youve played around with it on a few projects?!
