Marvelous Designer is Awesome!
🕑 Added 2021-01-12 21:33:01 +0000 UTCI recently experimented with Marvelous Designer to create more realistic clothing drapery. While the dForce in DAZ Studio is good, there are some issues that are hard to fix. I would like to briefly share what I've been learning.
Image 1 used Marvelous Designer to create the dress drapery morph.
Image 2 is how the dress looks like without any morphs applied.
Image 3 uses the dForce in DS to simulate the dress falling with no morphs.
Marvelous Designer is so much fun to use because it gives me the ability to grab a part of the clothing and pull it like in real life. Then it stretches back and fits back on the figure. I moved the front skirt part to the left side and draped the shoulder part of the dress to the sides. This creates a more dynamic look and feels to the render as if our figure is about to undress.
It is doable to use the dForce to simulate the clothing physics, but there are several problems I run into. I can use the animate timeline, but that's a big headache to get looking right. As you can see from image 2, there are several points of contact where the dress pokes through the figure. Part of the leg and several other areas like under the breasts. The key point is the dress poking through the chair and that is incredibly difficult to simulate. There is always the possibility of the dForce simulation exploding too which is a big annoyance.
I'm happy to finally learn how to use another program to further the quality and feel of my renders for my stories. Sadly I cannot get a perpetual license of the software, but your support makes me able to afford Marvelous Designer for the long run since it's a subscription-based model now. I think it's well worth the price since it gives me the ability to create amazing morphs for clothing.
I can't wait to finally show you more sexy undressing scenes.

:O Exactly! You mentioned something I forgot to say. Marvelous Designer has the capability to create clothing. Which opens the door to creating custom assets. Granted it takes time to create a 3D clothing asset, but the flip side is that if there isn't an outfit available... Just go make it with MD ;D (I'm gonna have to take some online courses about MD to learn its full capabilities!)

I know exactly how you feel. Its just an awesome and fun piece of software. No more wasting money on clothing packs and sometimes you just want to make stuff in it for the fun of it without even having a character or story in mind

:D This means more realistic sexy clothing scenes. I've always wanted to do undressing scenes and those are incredibly hard to sculpt.
I don't know what any of this means. But I'm excited you're excited!
