You can do something like this where you animate between different normal maps depending on the bending. Not totally realistic of course but results are predictable and the calculations involved are very light weight.

For a highpoly offline rendering you could use actual displacement maps on subdivided geo instead of normalmaps.

yeah I was thinking of that. It's just a ton of work if you have to make several versions of your entire model and textures

why not simulations? Create clusters and move them to force the cloth to change where the folds are as it moves.

yess that sounds good. going to be a lot of calculating for the level of subdivisions, though

thats both sexy and smart actually

They do the same thing with facial animation to create wrinkles. I think that's how some of the animation on BF4 was made.

use marvelous designer. export different models at different points in the animation and extract their normals/displacements. then do what the other anon said.

Wrinkle maps, bloodflow maps and skin deformation maps are the new tools when it comes to Facial Animations.

Instead of baking normal maps to blend between you could also bake height maps and use tesselation/displacement.
