Skirts and dresses:

My time is being nibbled away here and there by other commitments, but I'm hoping that today I'll get some documentation written that will discuss subdivision and skirts. But here's a quick heads-up for the thread:- it's my belief that the skirt explosion issues we've seen are the result of the way that item was manufactured combined with differences between DAZ Studio and Poser. Not only could I not get a short skirt that I tried to explode, but I have now done a quick rigging test of my own and found some horrible render results, but no explosion.

Here's a mesh that bobbie25 made as part of the Gensis Basic Clothing Rig Kit (http://www.daz3d.com/shop/genesis-basic-clothing-rig-kit/). I've loaded it and used a Transfer tempalte to setup the item as a close-fitting dress. Looks pretty good in DAZ Studio eh?
