The release of Marvelous Designer 2024.1 has occurred

Soft

Widely used by game and animation studios, Marvelous Designer allows artists to create 3D clothing much like real garments, by sewing together virtual 2D pieces. Users can import an animated character model, dress it with clothing, and then export the result to 3D applications in formats such as Alembic, FBX, or USD, as a sequence of OBJ files, or as Maya, PC2, or MDD cache.

In Marvelous Designer 2024.1, two new experimental generative AI toolsets have been introduced. The AI Texture Generator allows users to create seamless textures for 3D clothing by inputting a sequence of keywords. Users have the option to choose from predefined pattern types, including camouflage, tartan, paisley, polka dots, and stripes, as well as a range of preset artistic styles.

The AI Graphic Generator, as showcased in the video above, operates similarly but generates non-repeating images, such as designs for t-shirts. It comes with options for creating embroideries and sewn patches. However, there is no information in the online documentation about the specific artificial intelligence models used by these tools or the datasets they were trained on.

In addition to the new artificial intelligence tools, Marvelous Designer 2024.1 has introduced a PBR texture generator. It automatically creates PBR texture maps corresponding to the original diffuse texture, including normal, displacement, opacity, roughness, and metallic maps. Apart from the main fabric of the clothing, users can generate texture maps for trims, button loops, stitching, and folds on the garment. The update also includes a dedicated Trim Window for managing trim.

Marvelous Designer 2024.1 is available for Windows 10 and above, and macOS 12.0 and above. The software is only available through rental subscriptions. The personal subscription costs $39 per month or $280 per year. Corporate subscriptions are priced at $199 per month or $1900 per year for node-locked licenses, and $2000 per year for floating licenses.
