Liling Liu shows how you can create a joint-based skirt rig that includes auto collisions.

A new step-by-step tutorial from Liling Liu details how to create a joint-based skirt rig with auto collisions in Maya.

Liu’s tutorial breaks down the technique into four parts that include calculating the distances, determining the collisions, and then calculating the angle of the object that will collide. The entire system uses Maya native joints and nodes to create the skirt rig with an auto collision, making it suitable for game animation.
