Looks like fun =)
You could parent the cloth to a null and move the null around?

doesn't work unfortunately...
same thing goes for bones,

it works ok, though not sure if this is the way it is supposed to work, could be.

regarding Syflex collision, looks like it's supposed to work that way,
testing the provided t-shirt scene i can move the torso and the cloth object follows.

I liked Syflex but had to abandon it when I found out that it doesnt work with Motionbuilder.

that might be true, it could be that you can export the Motionbuilder anim as a MDD though,
then import that MDD, for then to use Syflex.

I wouldnt know how to do that if thats possible. I was greatly disappointed when I discovered this.

When you bring your animation data back into LW from MB the "box" that normally surrounds your character is seperated from your character. Syflex needs that box to surround the object or character. MB apparently seperates the two.

I could not find a workaround for this so I gave up.

yep, Syflex seems to be a bit picky, if you ask on the forums it might be that someone has an idea that works though...
