CLO Virtual Fashion has released a video demonstrating some of the new features of Marvelous Designer 7, due out in September. Topics include flattening, segment darts, offset as internal line along slope, modular mode, zippers, stitching, pin on/off animation, wind animation and scripts. Watch it on YouTube.
Haven’t used this tool before, but the new features do really look great. Any users of MD here?
I used version 3.
Cloth solver is amazing, very acurate for selfcollisions, and fast, with a lots of options to create nice cloth effects. What I was really missing was animation, wind animation, and being able to turn on off pins during time, looks finally its here!
can it be used for animated characters?
sure you can! check on vimeo or youtube, you will see some of the best animated cloth sims.
But most of studios use until now marvelous only to dress the character and then bring that in to houdini or maya to simulatethere the actual motion, mostly because until now there was no option to animate parameter inside marvelous (was possible to import an animated fbx character, that yes, but not animate values inside the program).
FINALLY – wind animation is the greatest feature that this release brings. I’ve been waiting for it for sooo long. Good job guys
