There are a couple of threads up just now asking about this kind of simulation so I thought I would post a couple of video examples of this to show the differences in film and game simulations.
This first is a short I did some time ago for a music video,this shows cloth collision,where the cloth robe is simulated by colliding with the model itself,this kind of simulation requires a high poly count making it useless for game models.
Note the animation within animation on the pirate flag and hat with the laughing skull.

This second is a character in FPSC, is a single mesh and uses additional bones to achieve the cloth simulation.
Note the secondary movement of the apron and the butt cheeks.

Great work rolfy. The fiddle player reminds me of the greatful dead mascot....'Blues for Allah' album if I'm remembering correctly.

You are spot on Loc,'Blues for Allah' album sleeve was the inspiration for the animated character,around the time I did the vid I had been asked to paint an 18 foot mural of this.
Hence the red shades,I did change the robe a little for this though.

I love the look of the first one. The second one is cool too, and the dance the charactor was doing in the second one had me laughing like crazy.

I wonder how hard it would be to access the bone data in real time to create collision with other objects, as I assume that with the way it's currently set up, the realtime cloth won't interact with other objects.

I'm not paranoid. Stop thinking that I'm paranoid!

This server won't let me visit youtube (sigh)...

However, I can tell you that the FPSC idea sounds rather complicated. Positioning the bones themselves must be a real headache to apply the proper physics engine to (unless, I'm not quite getting the idea).
