The skirt was a challange, much more here than meets the eye. The pleating is pretty much hand made with my own strange methods. It is in a sense two skirts in one, because I had to make individual outer pleats and inner pleats and then connect them to give it a very real look. There were no "automatic" methods of getting the pleats to look like this. Also, I would like to add, that I tend to not do much mirroring, that is I like to make my models a little different on both sides, you will find this in the skirt as well as all you see me do. For instance, this skirts pleats are not mirrored, they were modeled indivdually all the way around for asymetry realsim. I also modeled in the stripes in the skirt. Of course, stripes can be turned off by the user via material zones.
