MAX 5: Adding physique behavior for accessories on character model?

Hi, I wanna know how do I add physique behavior to the belt and chain of my model? What shoul I use to get this effect in MAX5?
e.g. Like the one in World of Warcraft new sneak peek trailer, where the accessories of the orc and tauren moves according to the model movement.

You can link the chain with the biped and simulate it with reactor.
Tomorrow i'll tell how for the belt.

Hi Yuzrass, you can do this kind of simulation with any dynamics plugin, such as reactor wich is already integrated in the 3d max.
I use cloth reyes (this one is mostly for fabric, but works very well in any other physical simulation). there are others of course.
I belive there's a document in the max 5 or 4 help directory about reactor, if it doesn't (or you have another version od max) search the internet. and thats it
anyone feel free to correct me if i said something stupid! hehe

Ok, If its a reactor then what kindda reactor feature should I use. Is it the cloth, softbody, spring, rigid body? Please explain to me in detail, because the manual doesn't explain very well and specific about what I am trying to achieve.
I can't wait for dlavre to teach me more about it. Please show me the way, I need it for my short movie that I am going to make.

it isnt UP to us to tell you , the reactor manual tells you everythign you need to know ok . dont get impatient.

reactor rope -
read the help files and tutorials and you Will find out what to do.
cloth - make cloth object - cloth collection select verts - pin them - run it .
check that out - its better if you work this out from the help files. thats what they are there for . and you will learn much much more.

sorry if its not the reply your after.
