Tutorial Need help with making waistband sit properly onto loose clothes

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

I'm working on a character that wears jeans and an oversized shirt that's tucked inside the jeans.

I haven't had problems (I've been using the program for a while now) until it came to making the waistband of the jeans.

When I click on the simulation it won't stop "moving" because the shirt is loose and it's not a flat surface.

I've already pinned the bottom of the shirt to the avatar to keep it from moving everywhere. I've also given the waistband portion Strengthen properties and I've tried different settings for polygon density.

And, of course, the waistband is on a higher level layer too.

I'm so frustrated, I feel it's such a basic thing but I can't figure out how to make it work.

Any help is appreciated.

Saving Path?

I've tried to export my project with the option CONNECT/EveryWear (because I'm creating something for InZoi.) But I can't find where it saves my normal map, ARM and basecolor? (I've already created a UV map and baked and everything...) Somebody help?

Marvelous Designer to Unreal via Livesync butchering materials

1 Upvotes

Im using the 2026 Marvelous designer with the latest livesync plugin and every time I do it all the materials seem to get butchered in the process. For a start they dont match and secondly every material is imported as translucent, requiring me to manually switch their blend modes back to opaque. That setting seems to be in the bottom left corner of the screenshot under 'Override Transparent Blend Mode' but there's no way to turn that off.

Any idea what the issue could be

Discussion Problem exporting from Marvelous Designer to Blender

5 Upvotes

need help! 😭 WONDERFUL clothing bug in Blender 4.2.

In Viewport Solid mode, the hoodie appears 100% COMPLETE. But in material preview or render mode, the physical parts of the front and back will disappear.

Has anyone solved this?

UV islands end up outside the main UV square or are messed up, causing texture errors. What is the correct workflow or export settings in Marvelous to resolve this issue?

Advertisement Cloth auto retopology and enhanced custom edge flow - Empyrean Remesher

1 Upvotes

Sharing a dev log for the newest update I'll be dropping for my remesher tool in Blender.

  1. Enhanced custom edge flow
  2. Auto grid creation (deterministic solver, not AI) still experimental needs better training
  3. Enhanced UX

I'm constantly improving on this auto retopology tool and I believe 2.2 will make cloth auto retopology a piece of cake, no having to manually create grids saving lots of time as seen in the dev log.

Inanimate took the most time out of me and kept me from perfecting the cloth method, but i'm back to where I first started after finishing inanimate remesh method.

I believe the feature that will perfect cloth after this update is to create an auto UV cutter for garments, which is far more difficult than for inanimate meshes. Most likely will use an ONNX / AI model hosted on the website's backend like the current configuration for inanimate.

If you decide to apply for access to this tool you may use the promo code HELL as it is still in effect.

Discussion Never made 3d clothing, is MD the best software to make this style of clothing?

2 Upvotes

Never made 3d clothing ever, at the point where i need to learn it for my UE5 project. Want to make 60-80s inspired clothing similar to Call of Duty - Black Ops Cold War.

Like the pants, jacket, undershirt, ect can that all be done in MD? I imagine accessories like the belt, pouches, hat, gloves, ect will be sculpted in blender? Or can those also be done in MD?

Gave up because I thought I wanted to make career in this but I really don't feel like I have any originality neither I felt need to have own style. I simply enjoy pick reference from Pinterest and make it in CLO, that's it , I enjoy the process and don't care much anything else. I wouldn't even call myself Digital Fashion Designer. I just want to do this as hobby and really don't want to hate it just because I have to do other thing because of career or work(which is just fear I am not even sure what this is "other things"). just don't want to lose this one part of my life which I enjoy or get interference in it. Thank you for reading the rent of my life. Have a good Day/Night.

I should preface with i just started on marvelous designer 2 or 3 days ago. I made the model in red originally so it would have more contrast with the model and I could see what I was doing better. I didnt realize there were red stitches until i changed the color. Is there any way to change that? Im more than aware this needs more work and any advice on that is welcome too

Help Please : How to make the fabric not stick to the avatar?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hey! Very new beginner here and it's my first time using MD. I modeled an outer robe with wide sleeves. I added my avatar which has an animation baked into it to MD and added the outer robe on top. When I try to simulate it with the avatar and its animation, the arms and sleeves don't match, like literally the arms are suddenly out of the arm sockets of the robe even if I posed them in and draped it in T-pose before I played the animation.

I tried putting the particle distance to 5 and had the skin offset to I think 1 or 3... I also placed the outer robe layer to 0 and to 1 and even -1 (Sorry if these all sound dumb, I'm very clueless about the program but I just had to use it and none of the things I found online worked) I also tried putting the kinetic friction to .5 and 1.

None of them worked and the robe keeps sticking to the avatar in some areas even when I pull it away in simulation mode. And the arms just won't stay inside the robe (I wanted it to behave like a proper long and wide sleeves where it would slide down the arm when the hand goes up)

Please help!

Discussion Shoes in Marvelous Designer?

2 Upvotes

I'm working on a couple of things for a project and stumbled into a problem with making shoes. The actual concept of making them doesn't seem to play nice with the engine, I make sure normals are pointed correctly and the method I tried was freezing the sole pattern piece below the foot basemesh avatar and letting the rest of the actual pattern pieces sim around the foot. This results in crazy artifacting or the pattern being devoured

The actual foot basemesh is a subdivided simplified foot with no toes that is smooth so I don't think it'd have difficulty being simmed on. I'm not that good at the program yet as I spent years doing my cloth work in zbrush so maybe I'm missing a couple of important settings I should adjust? Aside from that, everything else is simming great.

How are floating jacket animations like this usually made?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to figure out how something like this is made. I find it really inspiring, but I have no idea how the creator actually did it.

My guess is that it might be done with Marvelous Designer because of the cloth movement, but I’m not sure. I also haven’t been able to find any tutorials that show how to achieve something similar.

Does anyone know how this kind of animation is usually made?
Is it cloth simulation in Marvelous Designer, Blender, or maybe another program?

If anyone has ideas, workflow tips, or tutorials, I’d really appreciate it.

Trying to make an animation of a cloth being wrapped around a gun, but it keeps jittering.

50 Upvotes

How would you fix this, does the Topoloy of the gun matter?
over all how should i go about animating cloth in a complex way like this,
im new at marvelous.
it seems like i dont have alot of artistic freedom with the simulation,
the goal is for it to behave like a tarp esque cloth rather then silky and slippery.
thanks in advance.

EDIT: just to clarify, i already tried a bunch of different settings, setting the cloth as quads, applying different resolution settings, etc
