Cloth Dynamics for Cloaks

Explanation:

It would be a nice touch if every now and again a piece of the player's cloak fluttered into view.Window dressing, but a nice touch for an immersive game like Thief.

Points to bear in mind:

Could be expanded (probably at the cost of lots of processing) to all cloths. Garrett could hide behind a curtain.

A real master thief would probably wear something more ninja-like, rather than having a flapping cloak.

Curtains in houses or buildings that the player could actually hide behind would greatly increase the realism & believability in the game.

You're probably talking about really heavy opaque curtains, but I'd think the poorer neighborhoods would have more threadbare(and thus translucent) drapery. These would provide much worse cover than ruglike stuff.
