Stretchy Skirt Rigging Tutorial

An in-depth look at creating a short, tight, stretchy skirt or dress and rigging it to behave properly without cloth simulation.

Originally made as my April 2021 Patreon reward.

This tutorial covers:

• Modeling the skirt.

• Setting up the bones and weights.

• Using Corrective Smooth modifier to get a stretchy look.

• Fixing intersections with Shrinkwrap Modifier.

• Automatically adjusting the skirt length with Drivers.

• Preserving volume with corrective bones.

• A bunch of weight painting.

The demo file used is available here on Gumroad.
