Skirt plugin for hair? What?

It’s true! Thanks to a user pointing it out, they were kind enough to refer me to a tutorial on it! Basically what you do is, you section out strands of hair (I assume via the UV plugin) and use the skirt plugin to put in physics, one strand at a time! Now, you’ll need to have rather highpoly hair in order for this to work, and the hair can’t be too overly curly, but from what I can see, it really works!

tip for skirt physics : about clipping

there are two things you can do to have less clipping in the skirt

1. editing the skirt physics

edit the skirt physics to make them longer and wider

( this tip is for when you make the physics in the skirt plugin, if you already have skirt phyics you might need to change each one or remake them )

in the skirt plugin menu go to :

check those boxes :

when the boxes are checked, the rigid body will gradually change according to the value on the right

and change the values on the right, the first is width the second is height : (you can put different values, what fit your model)

it will look similar to this :

what diffrence it makes?

since the skirt physics are moving the legs sometimes stretching them and causing gaps between them (that’s why the clipping happens)

when you make them longer and wider it keep the shape even when they streched

2. editing the legs physics

sometimes if the legs rigid bodys are too thin they cause clipping, and you need to make them thicker

1. select the legs rigid bodys

2. change the value (change it to something that will cover most of the leg)

you can also make the skirt physics thicker instead

use the third option in the skirt plugin : (the same way like the height and width above)

Anyone know some settings for the skirt plugin that won’t result in CLIPPY BULLSHIT?

It just goes right through everything when I do it.
