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 KZbin. 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.

bro you are amazing good joob very helpfull !!!!

[@protorbs_nft_clubofficial141]

i will call this a powerful video, made by a experienced user

[@m1sterv1sual]

To make quick T-pose you can select all bones and then Pose- Clean transforms.

[@RenderRides]

Yup, it's a very smart shortcut! Not necessarily a T-Pose though, it just resets any changes in rotation, position or scale that you made on the bones. So if the character was in an A-Pose, it would return to that if that was set as its default pose.

[@dinesha6754]

Damn this took like 10 mins to create in marvelous designer, but would have taken at least 30 mins in blender to get this quality

[@RenderRides]

Yeah, Marvelous Designer is OP.

[@aminemarref]

How do you export the final result in FBX to use in e.g. Unity? Right now, the resulting FBX has the character moving (according to the animation) but the clothes are stationary.

Is there a way to make parts of a mesh cloth in MD? Like in Blender i would apply cloth physics to one part of a mesh. Basically I have a character with clothes and just want to have a wind animation

[@klay_design8125]

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

[@Cropshow]

thanks

[@rahulpaul.3d]

Thats what I wanted

[@RenderRides]

Glad I was able to help :D

[@lovechopra07]

really helpful🦾

[@enchihouse]

i have an issue, when i import my avatar, the rotation on 2d view is on side view not front view as yours show, any tip to help?

[@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.

[@ombhosle2566]

Hey can you help me

[@ombhosle2566]

I have given my clothes Ā texture but when I am putting it in blender it’s all going

[@tle90]

Great tip! Thank you 😊

[@DimiArt]

@@ombhosle2566 sorry I don't understand your question, and I'm not the best person to ask for blender advice, I just dabble in blender here and there

[@hanthonypiano]

thx a bunch

[@JvOeditorR]

as u can see in the 7:24 the back part of the dress is w a black collor, this is bcouse u dnt flip the normals, when u copy and paste, and put in the back part u should press the RGT button and click "flip normals" than u can do the sewing.

[@leslyskugga]

thhhhhhhhhhhhhank you!

[@nipunheshan9041]

Wow

[@juancarlospatti3381]

epic :)

[@aminemarref]

Thanks. Great tutorial. I have an issue after importing the Alembic OGAWA file to Blender. When I play the (jump) animation, the character kind of jumps out of his clothes, and then the clothes follow. Both character and clothes move according to the same animation but there is a lag.

[@lukegms8016]

Did you find a fix, on another video I've found that playing with the frame offset in the mesh sequence modifier helps

[@jayantharajapaksha7793]

Awsomee

[@RenderRides]

Thanks!

[@rueriazel]

How do you bring along with the texture material to Marvelous?

[@Kravets2207]

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

[@throwaway7968]

Hey now that I have the cloths equipped to my character in blender, how do I add the colors/ Textures back to them?

[@blackswan6386]

Sir how is it possible to make the alembic cycle or loop, i record 40 frame animation in Marvelous Designer, so i can loop it in blender, but i dont have keyframes ? whats up on this section. hope you can cover this. ciao

[@AshishSharma-yj1nb]

I have time stretching of 200 in blender so when i export the cloth to blender its not working properly. please tell me what to do ?

[@nymarekintvilik8371]

those maximo characters rigged are broken and still have a lot to work with this is good for beginner to learn

[@siddharthpal541]

thanks sir for this but what if i want glb of the whole? u sed alembic here...can i export anim with clothes in glb?

[@Danny2k34]

abc crashes my blender when I try to export the animation. I'm using a rigify rig so no idea if that's the issue.

[@bomb7388]

🔥

[@radertoons5526]

I have a question...when I export to blender as abc(ogawa)I lose my colors..is there a way to get them back

[@AdrianW3D]

Would it be a similar process if I simply want to rig a clothed character? Would I have to animate the character starting from a T-pose into the pose I desire, export that animated character to Marvelous, drape the character while in T-Pose, and export back to Blender? Thanks for the great conent!

[@RenderRides]

Yeah, that'd work the best. Having the T-Pose to work with while designing the clothes makes it much easier to avoid any glitches and get the intended results :D

[@wolfsami]

better fbx importer addon can fix all the problem with fbx file to marvelous btw ty for the video it was amazing !

[@mahabbat1960]

Will see)

[@psmontte]

Incomplete Instructions: Alembic file: Does not export Materials and/or Material Slots. FBX file: Does not export Animation. OBJ file: Does not export Seams, requiring manual adjustment of Textures.

[@darkroseanimation6284]

Can I export to unreal engine afterwards ?

[@DarwinsGreatestHits]

At 4:00 you can see your scale is at 0.010 like I have with mine. When I apply that scale and rotation, my animation starts flipping out. Any ideas why? It works ok if I only apply rotation.

[@lukegms8016]

Only rotation

[@worldsbestartchannel]

thanx maan

[@satishsudhakaran]

Wonderful content

[@artspirationnn6065]

how do i get my avatars material?

[@karans3481]

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

[@mustafasabah8129]

good tutorial very helpful thank you so much but how can i make retopology for clothes animation because it is highpoly take a lot of time

[@RenderRides]

Thanks! You can increase the Particle Distance under Simulation Properties (8:00) to get a lower poly mesh. Then you can use the Remesh checkbox as discussed in the video to clean it up. Just a quick and effective method to get a comparatively lower poly mesh :)

[@user-eu3di7hd9u]

can you make video for making cloth to matahumen in marvelous deseigner and exporting the alembic to ue

[@AshishSharma-yj1nb]

i want to animate human who is riding bike. I want his cloth affect by wind, how do i do it ?

[@ralphjanwelth1686]

when I try to create a rectangle, it spawns very far away from the avatar and when I try to move it to the avatar and press simulate, the rectangle shape goes all over the place and glitching out

[@sounder7564]

7:45 WOW😶

[@JeromeADavis]

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?

[@chrisbonnie5464]

hey, having the same issue , have you found a workaround texturing your model and clothes yet? ive been trying to solve this forvever.
