Test posed and function of the dress to make certain it drapes and moves with dforce.

If you need help with UVs in Marvelous Designer, here is a tutorial I use: A bad or sloppy UV will mess up your ability to do shaders and materials on the clothing in Daz. Make certain you have set up your UV in Marvelous Designer before you export. obj and when doing so make certain you pay attention which options you want such as weld, or thin-walled in Marvelous Designer. obj file so many certain your fabric is laying how you want, and the wrinkles are not horrible.

My early creations will be free to download, and work in Daz 3D Studio with genesis 8 character models.

I am very much still learning about how Marvelous Designer works. Though not cheap, this program is a real gem, and if you bring some knowledge of sewing with you this program is that much more powerful.Īt this time I am experimenting with some very simple concepts in terms of clothing design. I am still very much learning Marvelous Designer, which is pretty much the King of 3d clothing making as I understand it. You can see the party dress Marvelous Designer to Daz 3D project and workflow here: Since I am on a stress-related creative kick I figured I will document and share another Marvelous Designer project with the same workflow used in the party dress. On the left monitor I have 3 panes: Timeline, Lights/Camera and Content library, on the middle monitor, I have the main application window and the viewport, and on the right monitor I have 2 panes: Params/Shaping/Posing/Surfaces and Scene/Dynamic Clothing/Simulation Settings, so it's possible that my confusion is related to that, but I didn't really remove anything from the main interface, I just moved them to different monitors.I was not prepared for how popular and how many questions I quickly got regarding my Marvelous Designer to Daz 3D Studio workflow. I should also mention that I have a slightly custom layout for DS. I did find the selection options in the right click menu, but I still cannot find any kind of toolbar or anything for the geometry editor. There are a few dropdown menus around some of the toolsets, but nothing that contains anything related to geometry editing at all.

Thanks for the reply, but what do you mean when you say 'Tool Settings pane'? As I mentioned in my post, the UI does not change when I select the Geometry Editor from the tools menu. Also, you can look in the Tool Settings pane. Select the Geometry Editor tool, then right click in the viewport will give you a menu.
