How can you animate cloth in 3ds max?

I have seen videos of characters interacting with cloth and i want to know how they animate that.
Like, you get a character picking up a hankie or a character making a bed or toweling their face or touching their cloak. Can that be done in 3ds max and how?
Are there any tutorials for that kind of stuff?

See the "Hair and Cloth" tutorial, it’s pretty good.
Basically, you use the Garment Maker modifier to create meshed surfaces suitable for cloth simulation out of shapes, and then use the cloth modifier to simulate its cloth properties.
You don’t really need Reactor unless you want to simulate the cloth’s effect on other objects (e.g. a ball bouncing on a trampoline).
