Flowing cloth

[ianmage1]

I'm working on an animation that features a character with a cape. I'm having a difficult time making the cape flow naturally. Here's what I have done:

I used bones and vector movement simultaneously, but it doesn't look natural enough.
Does anyone have any tips on how to animate flowing cloth?

Offset the keyframes is the key.
I have made some tutorials about this kind of task:

-Short tutorial to animate ropes, clothes, chains, hair, etc
-Waving Flag in AS - Video Tutorial
-Hair waves

If you have ASpro 9, you can check the Jai character. The hair and cape are more complex examples of the same principle.

Thank you very much! You have the the most clever animation techniques.
