This course covers how to incorporate Marvelous Designer into cloth workflows for real-time character creation, from software basics to advanced techniques for creating realistic and stylized garments. The course will begin with an introduction to the software by creating modern, contemporary garments and then a deep dive into project workflow for highly detailed clothing of various materials using Marvelous Designer, Zbrush, and Unreal Engine. Not only will students learn how to use the software, but gain a deeper understanding of how to create realistic and appealing garments for AAA games.
Students will learn advanced techniques for Marvelous Designer, how to iterate between Marvelous Designer and Zbrush, how seams, stitching, and folds can aid in realism and appeal, and tricks for retopologizing cloth for quality bakes and animation.
