See video below which shows what happens and how I have it set up.

Is this possible using Obi Cloth or do I need to set up the prefab with the gathers already there.

Thanks

I fail to see how attachments would help in this case, they just make sure the particles in the group don't move at all relative to the transform they're attached to.

Simplest course of action would be to model the towel in roughly the shape it will have at rest. Another option would be to pick and drag the cloth at runtime and place it on the shoulders of the character (for instance, using ObiParticleDragger). Which method to use depends on what your goal is, whether the towel can be interacted with by the user or it's just eye candy, whether characters are skinned and the towel should move with them, etc.

kind regards

I have tried to get it to work with no luck and tried googling for videos but can't find any. Can you point me in the direction of a video or something that explains how it works.

Thanks
