My name is Qiu Honghui, a 3D character artist from China. I've been working in the game industry for two and a half years.I was first introduced to 3D during a university course and found it incredibly fascinating. That initial spark led me to dive deeper into self-learning. However, I soon realized that 3D creation was far more complex than I had imagined. After graduating, I spent six months in a professional training program, which helped me gain the skills needed to enter the game industry.<h1>What inspired you to create this piece? Could you share the story behind it?</h1>The inspiration came from a Lolita fashion show I stumbled upon on Bilibili. I was struck by how exquisitely detailed each outfit was, which sparked my interest in learning more about Lolita fashion.This particular design is based on the 2023 “Mariée de Kumya” (Bear Bride) dress by Baby, The Stars Shine Bright. I was fascinated by its rich design elements — lace, embroidery, pearls, and satin, especially the intricate layering around the neckline, cuffs, and hem. I felt that recreating it in 3D could truly highlight its elegance and craftsmanship.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/c21e02d300f54369a28c86285d8a2696%E7%86%8A%E7%86%8A%E8%8A%B1%E5%AB%81%E8%8D%89%E8%8E%93%E5%9B%AD%20%E5%AE%9E%E7%89%A9.jpg" alt="c21e02d300f54369a28c86285d8a2696" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c21e02d300f54369a28c86285d8a2696" data-width="480" data-height="720"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/471ec7e5defd440fa8d7944aaa3f1c7f%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA12.jpg" alt="471ec7e5defd440fa8d7944aaa3f1c7f" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="471ec7e5defd440fa8d7944aaa3f1c7f" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><h1>This Lolita design includes many intricate details such as layered patterns, bows, and lace trims. How did Marvelous Designer help improve your workflow or enable unique design effects?</h1>When working with multiple layers in Marvelous Designer, I use the Layer feature to define the hierarchy of each pattern. I also rely on Deactivate and Freeze functions to adjust layers individually.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/eaa475663865471daf92400dd1591168MD%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE02.png" alt="eaa475663865471daf92400dd1591168" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="eaa475663865471daf92400dd1591168" data-width="2511" data-height="1911">Creating lace trims is also very efficient in Marvelous Designer. I typically adjust the pattern length or modify the weft/warp shrinkage ratio to achieve lace-like effects, and sometimes use the pleats and fold tools to create textures similar to pleated skirts.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/3fec3db6c7054d3389cbc9bfe34e7e76MD%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE01.png" alt="3fec3db6c7054d3389cbc9bfe34e7e76" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3fec3db6c7054d3389cbc9bfe34e7e76" data-width="2515" data-height="1914"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/e76341eebdbd4bad8c3dcaa39ce22032%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA03.jpg" alt="e76341eebdbd4bad8c3dcaa39ce22032" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e76341eebdbd4bad8c3dcaa39ce22032" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/b5f1aae341e34b93918128849a3db362%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA07.jpg" alt="b5f1aae341e34b93918128849a3db362" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b5f1aae341e34b93918128849a3db362" data-width="3840" data-height="2160">The bows featured on the Lolita dress were all made using Marvelous Designer. One major advantage of using the software for bow creation is the flexibility to quickly model different styles based on your needs. I often use the Fold Arrangement tool and fine-tune details by adjusting the fold angle along internal lines.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/14f125bf835b490290623c56a906957e%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA09.jpg" alt="14f125bf835b490290623c56a906957e" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="14f125bf835b490290623c56a906957e" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/06538a62d14646b0b3221f9a87b649d8%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA11.jpg" alt="06538a62d14646b0b3221f9a87b649d8" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="06538a62d14646b0b3221f9a87b649d8" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/16e16f7698d648d19916443025e6c80c%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA10.jpg" alt="16e16f7698d648d19916443025e6c80c" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="16e16f7698d648d19916443025e6c80c" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><h1>Did you encounter any challenges during the creation process? How did you overcome them?</h1>The main challenge I faced was with the skirt. Due to its large surface area and the layering of multiple pattern pieces, the CPU simulation became quite laggy. Additionally, it was difficult to achieve the exact volume and shape I had envisioned for the skirt.To resolve this, I worked on the skirt separately in a dedicated project file, and went through multiple iterations adjusting the structure of the petticoat. I also fine-tuned the fabric properties for each layered piece individually. These steps eventually helped me reach a satisfying result.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/d0f30adc247d4eee8d4ca45c24d7848d%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA01.jpg" alt="d0f30adc247d4eee8d4ca45c24d7848d" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="d0f30adc247d4eee8d4ca45c24d7848d" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><h1>Could you briefly walk us through the tools and software you used during this project? Was Marvelous Designer well integrated into your workflow?</h1>I began with Marvelous Designer to create the garments during the modeling phase. The assets were then imported into Blender, where I performed retopology, added edge bindings, and created accessories.For the texturing process, I used Substance Designer to craft the fabric patterns and materials. Final rendering was done in Blender.Overall, the workflow between Marvelous Designer and Blender was very smooth and efficient.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/ef14418d53db452cac24563c97a54f23%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA13.jpg" alt="ef14418d53db452cac24563c97a54f23" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="ef14418d53db452cac24563c97a54f23" data-width="3840" data-height="2090"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/3c3f6403046e49508b51cab8dff65573%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA17.jpg" alt="3c3f6403046e49508b51cab8dff65573" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3c3f6403046e49508b51cab8dff65573" data-width="3840" data-height="2090"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/63f5e08df7a94c6192087e05d0fe6160%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA14.jpg" alt="63f5e08df7a94c6192087e05d0fe6160" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="63f5e08df7a94c6192087e05d0fe6160" data-width="3840" data-height="2090"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/074d8dd9ebd8403697a84b59b61c0a9c%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA15.jpg" alt="074d8dd9ebd8403697a84b59b61c0a9c" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="074d8dd9ebd8403697a84b59b61c0a9c" data-width="3840" data-height="2090"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/b05303d935dc4714b822857f9c9583f5%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA16.jpg" alt="b05303d935dc4714b822857f9c9583f5" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b05303d935dc4714b822857f9c9583f5" data-width="3840" data-height="2090"><h1>Do you have any advice for beginners who want to create a Lolita-style outfit using Marvelous Designer?</h1>My first piece of advice would be to use a higher-spec computer, as creating detailed Lolita garments can be quite demanding on system performance, especially when dealing with multiple layers and heavy simulations.Also, it’s very helpful to collect high-quality references of Lolita designs. I’d like to recommend my mentor, JueFei Kay20000 — you can check out his ArtStation portfolio here:<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://kay20000.artstation.com">https://kay20000.artstation.com</a><h1>How has your overall experience with Marvelous Designer been? Are there any improvements or new features you’d like to see in the future?</h1>This piece was created in 2023, when GPU simulation optimization hadn’t been introduced yet — so the process was relatively slow.However, with continuous updates, Marvelous Designer has made significant improvements in performance. I recently saw the feature highlights for Marvelous Designer 2025.0, and I’m especially looking forward to the redesigned UI and the quick-access asset store, both of which I believe will greatly enhance workflow efficiency.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202506/fc8a1ec901504001bda74fd0f890409b/images/8f6558a981fe405691b3dc24aa1f9122%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81%E5%B1%95%E7%A4%BA04.jpg" alt="8f6558a981fe405691b3dc24aa1f9122" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8f6558a981fe405691b3dc24aa1f9122" data-width="3840" data-height="2160"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/qhhkkkk">Artstation</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://space.bilibili.com/19462987">Bilibili</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/5db3019f0000000001006cba?xsec_token=ABNyM9g_1t4qNIZ7P48FA3UICMa9L426P9VlDHeQffIdI=&amp;xsec_source=pc_note">RedNote</a>

I feel like an imposter here because I’m part of Marvelous Designer’s internal design team. That said, long before I joined the company, I was already a strong believer in the software.I have over 10 years of experience in CGI, with more than six years of that spent using Marvelous Designer as a core part of my workflow. My background is in CGI advertising and automotive visualization, while my personal passion lies in creating animated short films and video games.Throughout my career, Marvelous Designer has consistently been one of the tools that has had the biggest impact on both the quality and speed of my work.<h1>Please introduce your project.</h1>The project I’ll be talking about today is a character inspired by Bhoota Kola, one of India’s many traditional ritual practices. The ritual also served as the central theme of the critically acclaimed Indian film Kantara.My goal was to create a photoreal digital replica of the performer that could be optimized for both film and game production. More than 80% of the asset was created using Marvelous Designer. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72aaae299f0a41c6b102f152cadf78a1/images/a7395529dafb48e0b29e2e52b281d55cArtboard%201.jpg" alt="a7395529dafb48e0b29e2e52b281d55c" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a7395529dafb48e0b29e2e52b281d55c" data-width="1498" data-height="1466"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72aaae299f0a41c6b102f152cadf78a1/images/ab88e7776b2c4c86884460108bf9c3c9Screenshot%202026-05-28%20090507.png" alt="ab88e7776b2c4c86884460108bf9c3c9" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="ab88e7776b2c4c86884460108bf9c3c9" data-width="2559" data-height="1439">The project also gave me an opportunity to explore complex layered garments and traditional ornaments, including flower garlands, ceremonial necklaces, and the iconic straw skirt. Beyond recreating the visual appearance, I wanted to capture the richness and authenticity of the costume while maintaining production-ready efficiency.<h1>Tell us how Marvelous Designer creates value in this project.</h1>Character creation is a highly complex process. Sculpting every element by hand requires significant time, technical skill, and a deep understanding of form design. Realistic garments add another layer of complexity, and once the assets are created, they still need to be retopologized and UV-mapped before they become practical for film or game production.For me, Marvelous Designer replaces much of the highly skilled craftsmanship involved in creating dimensional forms with the more structured and intuitive principles of garment design. That shift alone dramatically accelerates the process.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72aaae299f0a41c6b102f152cadf78a1/images/dddd4953699b4e42a4a602bf6b942e9fArtboard%202.jpg" alt="dddd4953699b4e42a4a602bf6b942e9f" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="dddd4953699b4e42a4a602bf6b942e9f" data-width="1857" data-height="839">This project involved a large number of layered garments, and Marvelous Designer handled them exceptionally well. It remains the most natural and lifelike way I know of creating digital clothing.The integrated retopology and UV workflow saved a tremendous amount of time and allowed me to add levels of detail that would have been difficult to achieve otherwise.I also wanted to experiment with creating traditional flower garlands inside Marvelous Designer. The solution I arrived at was surprisingly simple but extremely effective. I created a tileable 3D pattern and used it as a button asset without enabling button simulation. This produced a visually rich garland that remained lightweight and efficient.The straw skirt followed a similar philosophy. While it appears highly detailed, it was built from a single simulated strand setup that was duplicated and arranged repeatedly. The result was a complex-looking asset created through a very efficient workflow.<h1>Are there any other unique projects you worked on using Marvelous Designer that you would like to showcase to our community?</h1><div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3IYeUIfTwEs?si=yk9M6jO1SaG4_sCg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" width="800" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;"></iframe></div>Over the last few years, I’ve created several animated short films that relied heavily on Marvelous Designer, and I’m particularly proud of two projects.The first,<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IYeUIfTwEs"> A House of My Own</a>, is a personal tribute to one of my former rented apartments, the first place that truly felt like home.The second is an adaptation of a story by one of my favorite writers, Ruskin Bond.

Being able to handle retopology and UVs directly within the same workflow saves time, reduces friction, and makes transferring detail from high-poly meshes much more efficient.<h1>For other users considering Marvelous Designer, do you have any advice or experience to share?</h1>Two tips completely changed the way I work:Think in layers. Approach your garments the same way you would approach a traditional painting. Focus on the large forms first, then gradually build detail. As sections are completed, freeze them and continue refining the next layer. This keeps simulations stable and the workflow manageable.Use cloth simulation, even if it’s subtle. If you’re creating animated films, adding even a simple cloth simulation can bring a surprising amount of life and realism to a character. As a bonus, natural cloth movement can often help mask small imperfections in animation.

I'm Yao Chan, a 3D artist and UX designer based in Shanghai. I hold both a bachelor's and a master's degree in Digital Media from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Over the past decade, I've worked as a UX designer at leading companies like TCL Alcatel, Lenovo, Motorola, and SAIC-GM. Since 2019, I’ve been increasingly incorporating 3D elements into my UX design work for automobiles and digital devices, which led me to develop a strong passion for 3D art. Now, I focus on creating 3D artwork inspired by my personal experiences and interests—3D art has become my way of expressing myself to the world.<h1>Your work The Scent of Autumn is full of warmth and childlike charm. Could you share the inspiration behind this character design and the story behind it?</h1>For me, the scent of osmanthus is the defining fragrance of autumn—it’s a memory deeply rooted in my mind. I created this piece last fall when the city was filled with the sweet aroma of blooming osmanthus trees. Walking down the streets, I would unexpectedly catch whiffs of their fragrance, instantly bringing me a sense of happiness. For those who love osmanthus, its scent is powerful—it engages the senses and transports you to a special seasonal moment. <img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/77c446ff3add45348225abd695e67868clay.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="77c446ff3add45348225abd695e67868" data-width="1600" data-height="1600">People often try to preserve this feeling by making osmanthus sugar, fragrance sachets, or perfumes. I wanted to do the same through my art, capturing and sharing the warmth of that moment, hoping to evoke a sense of nostalgia for autumn. In The Scent of Autumn, I illustrated myself wandering the streets with a bouquet of osmanthus in hand, fully immersed in the season’s charm. To convey such a simple yet heartwarming experience, I enjoy using stylized character and environment designs.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/f0de79d96ed346a9a6fa06a15cb465cfcloseup2.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f0de79d96ed346a9a6fa06a15cb465cf" data-width="1600" data-height="1600"><h1>How did you create the outfit for the little girl character in your artwork? What role did Marvelous Designer play in the process?</h1>This character is a chibi version of myself, so I wanted her outfit to reflect my real-life autumn memories as accurately as possible. I based her clothing on one of my own fall outfits—a linen shirt, a denim short jacket, and casual cotton pants, finished off with a plaid newsboy cap. Having a real-world reference was incredibly helpful when working in Marvelous Designer, as it allowed me to focus on both the overall look and the finer details.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/9c9f4b8d9aff45ff8e1e18b65d70ee1acloseup1.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="9c9f4b8d9aff45ff8e1e18b65d70ee1a" data-width="1600" data-height="1600">I created the entire outfit using Marvelous Designer because I wanted the clothing to have a realistic fabric feel, and MD was the perfect tool for achieving that. To make sure the garments draped naturally in the final pose, I first created a transition animation in Blender, moving the character from an A-pose to the final stance. I then imported this animation into Marvelous Designer and used it as a virtual avatar, giving the fabric simulation room to settle properly. Compared to creating clothes directly in Blender, Marvelous Designer offers a more efficient workflow for designing patterns, achieving realistic fabric physics, and optimizing computational performance. Plus, since MD allows me to export 2D sewing patterns with UVs, the texturing process becomes much easier later on.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/f348b11e830d467da6f11439fe00ed12MD%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE2.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f348b11e830d467da6f11439fe00ed12" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/2c994522ca53412ca6ce155fe7a77d1aMD%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE3.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2c994522ca53412ca6ce155fe7a77d1a" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/1043edad7e1546f8954a11a0e3ecc986MD%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE1.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="1043edad7e1546f8954a11a0e3ecc986" data-width="2560" data-height="1399"><h1>Did you encounter any challenges while using Marvelous Designer? How did you overcome them?</h1>Since I don’t have a fashion design background, drafting 2D clothing patterns for my chibi-style character was a major challenge. The outfit was inspired by real clothing but didn’t follow traditional garment construction, and working with 2D layouts in MD felt quite different from thinking in 3D.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/4c95fa6fce4d4fbfa6d70f9bb2175e4eMD%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE4.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="4c95fa6fce4d4fbfa6d70f9bb2175e4e" data-width="2560" data-height="1399">To solve this, I researched real clothing structures and found similar pattern references online. The real-time 3D preview in Marvelous Designer was incredibly useful—it helped me fine-tune the fit through continuous adjustments until I achieved a satisfying final result.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/ccd003bdf05244789a5fd0b7afa61bb7Substance%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE5.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="ccd003bdf05244789a5fd0b7afa61bb7" data-width="2560" data-height="1400"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/fb9af770ca924ed0827c95548e68f827Substance%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE6.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="fb9af770ca924ed0827c95548e68f827" data-width="2560" data-height="1400"><h1>Can you walk us through the tools you used for this project? How well did Marvelous Designer fit into your workflow?</h1>For this project, I used Blender for modeling both the character and the environment. I also created an animation in Blender to transition the character from an A-pose to the final pose. Then, I imported this animation into Marvelous Designer, where I designed and simulated the hat, shirt, jacket, and pants. Once the clothing was complete, I exported the models to Substance Painter for texturing. Finally, everything was brought back into Blender for final touch-ups and scene composition.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/8b476c2ddb2d44b4b723d531cfe86b95wire.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="8b476c2ddb2d44b4b723d531cfe86b95" data-width="1600" data-height="1600"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/6674900f7744455db88604e90b9ec5eb%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE9.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="6674900f7744455db88604e90b9ec5eb" data-width="2560" data-height="1400">Marvelous Designer integrated seamlessly into the workflow. As long as the right file formats were used for importing and exporting, the process was smooth and stable, making it an essential tool for building an efficient and repeatable pipeline.<div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lQtIcj3XLbk?start=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" width="800" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%;"></iframe></div><h1>Do you have any tips for using Marvelous Designer, especially for creating stylized cartoon outfits?</h1>When making cartoon-style clothing—especially for chibi characters—proportions play a crucial role. While the garments are inspired by real-world designs, they need to be stylized to suit the exaggerated features of the character. The size of shirts, pants, and hats should be carefully adjusted to match the character’s proportions.Fabric wrinkles can add realism, but too many can make the outfit feel overly detailed and lose its cartoon charm. To control this, I tweak fabric physical properties and particle distance to ensure the folds match the intended style. Additionally, fabric textures should be enlarged compared to real-world clothing to highlight the details. Just like doll clothes have more pronounced and simplified textures, scaling up fabric patterns helps maintain a clean and stylized look.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/c2d5162c423f4bcfb7c1682c48b67718Substance%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE8.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c2d5162c423f4bcfb7c1682c48b67718" data-width="2560" data-height="1400"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/495eaf0587ff43d09d05f42888c338eaSubstance%E6%88%AA%E5%9B%BE7.JPG" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="495eaf0587ff43d09d05f42888c338ea" data-width="2560" data-height="1400"><h1>What’s your overall experience with Marvelous Designer?&nbsp;</h1>I’ve had a great experience with Marvelous Designer. It allows me to create clothing much like in real-life fashion design—cutting, sewing, and adjusting 2D patterns while seeing instant results in 3D. The real-time simulation and animation capabilities make it easy to refine garments dynamically. The software is also user-friendly, with smooth performance and efficient computation, making it my preferred tool for garment creation.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202503/e9171872b673477ea9d0207fd81b72fe/images/19a0e6d916f3480e9745e4ebbb6c4008final1600.jpg" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="19a0e6d916f3480e9745e4ebbb6c4008" data-width="1600" data-height="1600"><hr><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.artstation.com/magicwand">Artstation</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.behance.net/yaochanyc">Behance</a><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.xiaohongshu.com/user/profile/54e6d7a44fac63791c29c643?xsec_token=ABlH0AWM9L9l144-pHUFXlyf3aFeEX4j4S916oAEd3328%3D&amp;xsec_source=pc_search">RedNote</a>Instagram: magicwandyc
