Indeed. XSI cloth can also be made to shrink by decreasing the initial
rest length of the springs. AFAIK Syflex in XSI can't do that. A big
downside is that you can't set the initial state on XSI cloth, so I
found it really useful to have a script that applies the cloth
operator and a preset to a rig. That way you can generate your cloth
rig on any frame in any given shot.
