Subject: Old Problem... flap up skirt


Totoro2 ( ) posted Wed, 20 June 2001 at 4:38 PM ยท edited Sat, 11 January 2025 at 3:50 AM

Everybody knows the problem, that the skirt or dresses for female characters flap up. Is there some known way to correct this once the figure is sitting? I know there is one skirt that does not flap up for download, but maybe someone figured out a ways for the other clothes too? Please help me, the girls are so tired and want to sit down :-) TILL

May be you should just draw up a chair for her to sit on :) [![philc_agatha_white_on_black.jpg](http://www.philc.net/images/logos/philc_agatha_white_on_black.jpg)](http://www.philc.net)

There are three solutions that I can think of:-- Build the dress with hierarchy to allow seated poses as above.

  • Include shins in the leg sections of the dress. Although you will still have to watch what happens to the hip.
  • Use morphs to obtain the shape of the dress you require.

Or a combination of the above. Whichever way I doubt if its possible, in practical terms, to design a mesh that will be perfect in every pose.

Depends what you want... Nerd's sit down skirt is a modern short style for free download (see link). This gets round the problem by not conforming - you have to pose it separately which can be difficult in some poses. Alternatively, try sergemarck's period dresses at Poser Fashion - some of these have sit down morphs. http://poserworld.com/PoserFashions/default.htm I think some of Jim Burton's products have a separate seated version of the skirt. http://digitaldreams.bbay.com/

There are actually two problems here, both having to do with the way Poser has to have parts joined- you can't ever have shins in mesh, and you have to have a strip of hip between the thighs all the way down the skirt. I think it is just about possable to have a short (above the knee) skirt that the figure can sit in, as long as she doesn't try to cros her legs (like any real woman actually would in a short skirt!), using a combination of the thighs and JCM to pull the mesh where Poser can't. Long skirts are a lot tougher though, I don't know of any combination that works without a lot of fiddling.

The Sit Skirt was my first attempt at solving this problem. Many of us have taken a shot at it. Thus far my Nimue skirts are probably the best sitting skirt available. And they still require same manual posing. They use EMC (Extended Morph Control) and a hidden "third leg" to get a sitting pose. The reason there aren't any free EMC skirts is because of the huge amount of work required to get one working. I have a tutorial on EMC if you would like to dive in.
