Marvelous Designer to Unreal Engine 5 cloth simulation | Complete Guide

In this tutorial, you'll learn the step-by-step process of simulating any cloth from Marvelous Designer to Unreal Engine 5. Starting with animating your MetaHuman using Mixamo animations, we'll guide you through using the Mixamo Converter to ensure a smooth workflow. You'll find a link to another tutorial on how to animate your custom MetaHuman using Mixamo animations below.

We'll then import the animation into the Unreal Engine Sequencer, move it to frame 30, and bake it into the MetaHuman control rig, ensuring a smooth transition from A-pose to motion. This preparation is crucial for accurate cloth simulation in Marvelous Designer. After that, we'll export the animations and static pose to Marvelous Designer, import them, and dress up your MetaHuman with clothing downloaded from websites like CGTrader or TurboSquid.

Finally, you'll see how to adjust the fitting suit, simulate the cloth, and export it in Alembic format to Unreal Engine 5. Learn how to bring your cloth simulation to life by adding it to the sequencer and applying the final textures. This comprehensive guide on transferring your designs from Marvelous Designer to Unreal Engine 5 will elevate your character animation workflow.
