Work In Progress - Black Elf Dress Skirt Frenzy
Added 2021-11-14 12:53:16 +0000 UTCWell, after doing the first working rig for this outfit and trying to smoothen it, I quickly realized that this is probably the worst skirt type to weightpaint I ever worked with :D
The worst thing is that you have a narrow skirt and you try to keep the legs geometry there. It's just impossible to avoid clipping
From one side It's fitted and you need to really watch out around the calf and tigh bones.
From the other side I wanted the skirt to move at least a little bit independently in the back.
I even watched a smp tutorial, but it seemed too much work for me (smp works better with loose clothing) and the result was still uncertain.
Thus I came to some conclusions:
- I will eliminate the clipping just in the walking, running and sneaking poses.
- I will incorporate two skirt bones (see the last image) to add some volume behind and to calm the train behaviour a bit.
- I will add some skirt volume here and there to make some space for boots.
It starts to work already. The walking and running is quite ok, but there are still some spots left to fix. I showed them in the captures.
Keep your fingers crossed guys :)
