The Progress

I noodled around Marvelous. It's pretty cool.

What I ended up deciding to do is make some of the extra layers required to hold form and simply not export the mesh, since dealing with those layers with animation etc. would be annoying. I'm making Uncle's Duan da first since it's the simplest form of attire. The clothes are based on real hanfu patterns. I wasn't sure how I wanted to put this together and that felt as good way to do it as anything else. After that I'll probably make Fox's Yuanlingpao next since it doesn't have the pleets.

After having the finished meshes, I would need to take the meshes into Zbrush to retopologize them and make them usable.
