I've made my own G3 character based on MarthaF. I'm stuck on the best way to implement legs with a medium length dress. I've tried adding pins, and splitting up the dress into overlapping parts for each leg, but nothing really works. The best I have so far is to just have the whole dress in the HIP - but then when the knee or leg goes outside the dress it looks bad (see the image).
Any suggestion, step by step, or example characters would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to create the example, I'll have a go at doing that for my animation!

I was hoping there was a way to do that automatically - as in, have the dress stretch when the legs move outside the boundary of the dress (automating the process you outlined in your video). Would be a great feature to add! 

Alternatively, something that limits the legs movement to inside the dress, in the case where you want to keep it restricted.

Kind Regards,

Joseph

Should I add this as a feature request somewhere?

Perhaps, you might want to zoom in so as not to show the bottom part.

Not an option for the story. But thanks.
