Dunno if you still answer asks, but could you link me some skirt models? I looked everywhere, but I didn't find any...
I’ve been pretty busy here and there, sorry for not responding to asks or messages as often!
Revzin’s HWM Elizabeth pack had a huge bunch of tesselated skirts; you’ll have to seek it out, dunno if it’s been re-uploaded somewhere. Rebb’s Scout’s Mom has a pencil skirt that also comes with a tesselated pencil skirt. (Be careful, they can crash your SFM.)
I also use CreatorofPony’s Equestria Girls models’ skirts fairly often by hiding the additional textures by turning alpha values off. There’s some attachable clothes in this HS GMod playtest that you can extract.
If the model’s got a skirt, take advantage of skirt bones. I stretch, scale & break a lot of skirts to get sort of what I want. Sometimes this means they might not look great from one angle or may stretch only so far before the model no longer has anything to break.
Baking the procedural bone on Heavy’s Grand Duchess Tutu makes for a surprising amount of customization. Heavy’s tutu is probably my favourite clothing prop to utilize in costume-building.
Demoman’s Cool Breeze needs the knees shrunken and pushed upwards, as well as some clever resizing and hiding of the crotch-flap bone, but can be utilized decently for a plaid short-ish skirt.
Resizing Spy’s Made Man roses for a layered skirt works out fine, though I like to opt for other props in place of them since the rose only has one bone. Capes or draped cloth can make split skirts or hi-lo skirts; I really like the way Soldier’s Caped Crusader can do this really well.
Play around as best as you can with flipping props upside down or inside out, stretching and breaking them to their limits.
