ANIMATED CLOTHES in Marvelous Designer! | Blender to Marvelous Designer Workflow

In this video, I'll be showing my workflow of how I create animated clothes using Marvelous Designer. So you'll be learning how to give your animated characters some clothes and also learn the workflow between Blender and Marvelous Designer, or at least the basics of it.

This was originally an exclusive Patreon-only video. But since I've taken down my Patreon page, I've decided to post these tutorials publicly here on YouTube. This means that the style or quality may not be perfect, but I hope it's helpful to you regardless.

EDIT: 2.5 years later and I've decided to restart my Patreon page. You can find the link to it below if you're interested to watch more of these exclusive tutorials.

That T-Pose trick is something I never would have thought to do, but is so incredibly helpful! Thanks for this tutorial.

[TheDeeganto]

This is the most thorough and easy to understand pipeline between the two software I’ve seen! Thank you so much for this, finally motivated to start using this workflow!

[stache_obj]

Damn that was some high quality shit right there. Had heard a lot about md, didn't know it was this good with cloth simulation.

OH MAN... IN 2 MINUTES YOU EXPLAINED SOMETHING ITS HOURS I'M SEARCHING FOR. THAAAANKS

Such a great tutorial man, thank you!!! I wish I watched this before starting my md design, I learned so many good tips that would’ve helped me speed up my workflow and reduce frustrations 😂 thank you for the awesome content

[DimiArt]

hey just a tip, you don't have to swap between object mode and pose mode so often. You can hover your mouse over a rig and press "Alt+Q" to select the skeleton/object you want to work with while staying in pose mode. Also works in edit mode, sculpting and basically everything else.

[clausbohm]

Thank you for doing the upfront work and saving us a lot of time

[brownboizzz]

Very simply explained brother. Loved it, looking forward for more 🤩

I read through your comments and I see that you said you can texture the clothes in substance painter after you export them from MD. Is this accurate? I followed this and got perfect results however there was no textures on anything now. Even my character model. So I should just take the ABC file into substance painter and redo all of the materials in there? If you can do that in substance painter why does blender not allow this? Is there some way to make it where you can export from marvelous designer back to blender and texture inside of blender?

[klay_design]

SO with the alembic export, how to I keep all the graphics and textures with it as well to import into blender?

[Kravets]

Where is the animation tab located?((( I can't find it in version 12

[therealkarannn]

Is anyone experiencing this problem?
I'm trying to simulate a small animation in MD with the basic garmet provided wih it (pants)
When I run the simulation, the cloth starts tearing and jitering once other parts of the mesh comes in contact with the cloth
(Ex- my character is doing a twist dance, so when that happen both the thigh are close enough to make contact, also the hand also kinda clips through the leg area, so when that happen the cloths start tearing, is there a solution, what am I doing wrong

[angustobiancusto]

Thank you finally with that simple check box i understood how to export in quad mesh

[pinanwicaksono]
