Satin Cloth Animation (3)

[amstos]

Hai,

I need to create a cloth, which travels and forms a ring in the end. The cloth movement should be like a Satin cloth movement. Please click here http://www.prashanthvfx.com/my/Satin.jpg for a reference of Satin cloth.

I am using Maya. Can anybody give me some ideas how to achieve this effect. The cloth needs to travel in a specified path.

Thanks
Amstos.

I doubt it would be reasonable to set-up a complicated rig for that.. use curvePathFlow(?) and animate a nurbs patch with many UV divisions and perhaps turn it to softBody and add a turbulenceField.
sorry, I cannot give a exact commands, because I have no Maya installed here, but You must have cought the idea - do fake!
