I'm trying to make Bat wings. I created cloth to fill in the gaps between the bones on the wings. I contstrained the edges of the cloth to locators and parented the locators to the appropriate bone.
The problem I'm having is that the majority of the streach is at the edges between the contrained vertacies and the next ones in. So the border vertacies are constrained and move with the bone, when the wings flap the cloth doesn't bend evenly, it bends the most on the boarders.
I'm useing the translate constrain, should I be useing a defferent one? Thanks for any help.

the is soft solution didn't work because it let the wing come off the bone.
The increased samples helped.
I seemed to have fixed it with a mesh constraint instead of a translate, thanks for the tips
