T725 Make a Handkerchief covered on the glass

Let’s make the following handkerchief covered on the glass by TATARA 7.0 and Height Plug-in and UTSUSHI. Becasue UTSUSHI is only for Windows. So I prepared the image made by UTSUSHI for OSX users.

Let's make the following handkerchief covered on the glass from the following steps.
1) Make the form of the glass hidden in the handkerchief using TATARA.
2) Save the created glass by the OBJ file format.
3) Make the monochrome height image from the OBJ file of the glass using UTSUSHI.
4) Make the handkerchief using Height Cloth plug-in of TATARA.
5)Maximize, save and upload to the in-world.
