Yes;
Use the ‘Sew’ function, and 'Magnet’s if necessary (to constrain rows of verts towards themselves) and maybe a ‘Mimic’ as a base shape controller :wink:

EDIT:
You could of course throw the whole lot into a wrap-deformer instead…

All in the docs

I’ve done some pleetes in the past and found they they are pretty tricky…

I would suggeest adding detail for syflex to be able to crease… ie if you do like the attached image, syflex will create pteetes by default. this eliminates any need for (the sketchy) sew function.

as far as wraps go, you will not get natural movement… ie the open/closing of the pleats… it will look like a dirty cheat… same with magnet…

oh okay ^^ im nearly on the modellign the skirt stage so i will definatly give that try first does sound significantly easier :slight_smile: i looked into the other option with sew and magnets… does look tricky but certainly possible

thanks for all your help guys
