LogInHook + Pin Group = magic.
Having showcased the final render of his latest digital character last week, Roman "iltaen" Gibadullin, a 3D Artist specializing in low-poly character modeling, has shared a couple of impressive under-the-hood demos that offer a closer look at the character's skirt.
Set up in Blender, the simulation allows the skirt model to move in real-time in a lifelike manner, making it perfect for animation. According to the author, the setup works using a combination of Hook, a Blender modifier that lets you deform a mesh, curve, or lattice using another object, and Pin Group, a Vertex group for controlling the shape of the cloth by pinning.
And here's the character's final render:
Previously, Roman also demonstrated how the character's fishnet gloves were modeled, how the chain on the skirt was made, how the foot roll mechanism was set up, and how her head was sculpted in Blender:
