Ellie the Dancing Maid

I made this for the Japanese social holiday Maid Day, which takes place on May 10. It’s two days late for Maid Day and one day late for Spinny Skirt Sunday, but better late than never! Instead of riding a skateboard, Ellie is leaning into her passion for dance by dancing orders over to patrons, and expertly performing the spin-and-drop!

I cut the skirt off of the maid dress so that I could use Ellie’s existing skirt and existing simulations. The apron and underskirt are geoshells, and the ruffles were made with displacement maps. The environment’s original floor texture was low-res when viewed up close, so I replaced it with a concrete shader.
