yeah i was thinking of that. hmmm for my plan of putting on a samurai-type skirt thing on him, should i model it or is it possible to use the cloth functions of maya? i'm not sure how cloth works, but i'm willing to try anything that will work well. since i'm planning to animate this guy later on, i'm looking for a method that can at least make easier the process of animating the flow of the fabric and all

any tips on how to make the skirt/pants thing? to manually model or to not manually model?
