Widely used by gaming and animation studios, Marvelous Designer enables artists to create 3D clothing in the same way as in reality, by stitching virtual 2D pieces together. Users can import an animated character model, apply clothing to it, and export the result in Alembic or FBX format, as a sequence of OBJ files, or as Maya, PC2, or MDD cache. Apart from simulating the effect of gravity on clothing, it is possible to create wind animation.
В Marvelous Designer уже есть редактор UV Editor, где отображаются UV-файлы для создаваемой одежды, но в Marvelous Designer 12.2 добавлена функция автоматической упаковки UV-частей. Пользователи могут выбирать, сохранять ли поворот и относительный масштаб для развёртки, а также упаковывать части для различных предметов одежды на отдельные UV-плитки, как показано в видеоролике выше. Кроме того, теперь при экспорте файлов USD поддерживаются унифицированные UV-координаты, а поддержка универсального описания сцены была добавлена в Marvelous Designer 12.1.
Among other changes, it is worth noting the ability to import or export multiple 3D avatars in a single FBX file. Additionally, a new Roll Up feature has been added for cuffing sleeves or pant hems, as well as the option for a double-click to select all 2D details connected by sewing lines.
Marvelous Designer 12.2 is available for Windows 10 and above, as well as macOS 10.15 and above. The software is only available through a subscription.
The cost of a personal subscription is $39 per month or $280 per year. The cost of a corporate subscription is $1700 per year for node-locked licenses and ranges from $2000 to $2500 per year for floating licenses.
