Hey folks!
I’m animating a character wearing a traditional Scottish kilt and struggling to get the fabric to move naturally. I’m aiming for a stylized but believable sway during a walk cycle. So far I’ve used the Puppet Tool and mesh warp, but it still feels stiff.
I’m referencing real-world motion from garments like those at The Utility Kilt, which helps with visual weight and bounce—but translating that into AE has been tricky.
Key issues:
Natural response to leg movement
Adding secondary motion without floatiness
Avoiding weird overlaps/twists
Any advice, expressions, or plugin recs? Bonus points for cloth animation tips or examples.
Appreciate the help!
