Using cloth as foliage? Seems someone already did it!

A demo movie of the game "Blackout Saigon".

Quite clever implementation really. I wonder if all of those leaves on those plants are cloths, or "fake" cloth until fired upon?

It is. I'd love to have a go at doing at a full tree, just like the Crysis demos. It's quite easy too, soft bodies galore! Trick is to make a balance between fake trees and real physics trees, which makes it more real.

However, I don't think many people realise that NxOgre and Ogre are perfectly capable of commercial games, all it takes is time and experience.

Very interresting effect. I played with ageia cloth demo and did not think to integrate it to foliage. But I will have to buy a new computer. My amd 2000+ and gforce3 are old.
Thus I wait for next gen game with ageia.

ps: I hope NxOgre will be use in commercial game.
