We’d love to know how MD influences the conceptualization and fleshing out of ideas during the initial design phase.</strong></h1><p style="text-align: left">Of course, before diving into production, we always establish the direction during the planning phase—deciding what kind of garments to create and what elements to include—before launching Marvelous Designer. However, since we are crafting digital-based clothing, we often end up adding artistic interpretations and creativity rather than just stopping at a realistic replication. In that process, garments are frequently completed in a way that is more evolved or slightly different in direction from the initial concept.</p><p>In particular, during the garment creation process, adjusting pattern measurements, fabric physical properties, and settings like Particle Distance, weight, and pressure can create entirely different silhouettes and styles from the exact same pattern. Thanks to these characteristics, my ideas naturally expanded during the workflow, and I experienced the project concepts becoming increasingly concrete and fleshed out.</p><p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/2ea7d43a550b49e78eb56e3b1f410297/images/0b2b155dd5d84a488f7d94dd0d51b114Capture.png" alt="0b2b155dd5d84a488f7d94dd0d51b114" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="0b2b155dd5d84a488f7d94dd0d51b114" data-width="3840" data-height="2088"></p><p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/2ea7d43a550b49e78eb56e3b1f410297/images/177f55c4059c4b38bfc481031d639b13%E1%84%86%E1%85%AE%E1%86%AF%E1%84%89%E1%85%A5%E1%86%BC.png" alt="177f55c4059c4b38bfc481031d639b13" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="177f55c4059c4b38bfc481031d639b13" data-width="1123" data-height="4353"></p><h1><strong>There is a growing body of research on workflows utilizing AI tools. You also applied textures created with 'Nano-banana' to MD garments. What kind of synergy did you experience when those sophisticated textures met MD’s realistic geometry and wrinkles?</strong></h1><p>I believe that texturing with AI tools offers massive advantages in terms of both fine detail and time efficiency. This is especially true for garments with intricate patchwork or designs where graphics play a key role; in the past, because we had to manually paint these in Photoshop, it was a heavy time burden, or we often had to opt for simpler designs instead. However, by leveraging AI, the burden of this graphic work has been significantly reduced, allowing me to enjoy making a wider variety of creative attempts.</p><p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/2ea7d43a550b49e78eb56e3b1f410297/images/78c20b441b9645dd83c267f279e7edcfPatch_v01_1.png" alt="78c20b441b9645dd83c267f279e7edcf" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="78c20b441b9645dd83c267f279e7edcf" data-width="2048" data-height="2048"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/2ea7d43a550b49e78eb56e3b1f410297/images/2a4f40c5a3854757a751ca0e79d69649Patch_v01_2.png" alt="2a4f40c5a3854757a751ca0e79d69649" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2a4f40c5a3854757a751ca0e79d69649" data-width="2048" data-height="2048">When these high-quality textures are applied to garments made in Marvelous Designer, they lock in perfectly with the generated wrinkles and geometry, delivering a much more convincing and realistic result. It doesn't just feel like a flat graphic anymore; because the texture responds naturally on top of a three-dimensional form, I felt the overall quality and polish of the asset was elevated to the next level.</p><p>Additionally, I utilize a workflow where I take the UV layout exported from Marvelous Designer, input the desired style into an AI tool like Nano-banana, and generate the textures. This workflow has vastly improved the efficiency of the texturing process, and as a result, I believe it has enabled a much faster, higher-quality pipeline.</p><h1><strong>What is your personal pipeline tip for maintaining high quality while optimizing high-resolution textures and Marvelous Designer (MD) data?</strong></h1><p><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/2ea7d43a550b49e78eb56e3b1f410297/images/47e29f2618524e05ba7d38f6d44d03b3Capture%284%29.png" alt="47e29f2618524e05ba7d38f6d44d03b3" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="47e29f2618524e05ba7d38f6d44d03b3" data-width="1147" data-height="1654"></p><p>To be honest, rather than relying on a unique or special pipeline, I tend to take a more practical approach to my workflow. First, after fully finalizing the garment design and pattern work, I don’t jump straight into organizing the UVs. Instead, I use MD’s 2D Pattern Graphic feature to preview the textures or graphics created via Nano-banana first, allowing me to check the overall look and feel.</p><p>The reason I hold off on organizing the UVs is that if the patterns get modified during the process, I would have to redo the UVs all over again. Therefore, I use AI during the design phase to quickly test out textures, and only when I feel the direction of the garment is fully locked in do I clean up the UV layout.</p><p>Rather than the pipeline itself drastically changing since adopting AI, I feel that the overall workflow speed and efficiency have significantly improved because I can now visualize and iterate on the desired results much faster.</p><p></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.behance.net/soohwan_art"><strong>Behance</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/ohso0hwan"><strong>Instagram</strong></a></p><p></p><h1><strong><em>Stay tuned for our special series featuring Su-hwan Oh’s diverse portfolio and his expert Marvelous Designer know-how!</em></strong></h1><p></p>

Professionally, I am a physician based in Ghana. Alongside my medical career, I operate as a hobbyist 3D generalist under the social media moniker, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/yaw_cg_md/">yaw_cg_md</a>. I focus on character design and animation workflows to build compelling, narrative-driven visuals.</p><h1><strong>Please introduce your project.</strong></h1><p>This animation was my submission for the Dream Sequence 3D Community Challenge hosted by Pwnisher. The piece centers on a haunting, trance-like state, featuring a Yokai. The core objective was to build an atmosphere of eerie suspense.</p><h1><strong>The template for this contest was very open ended, what was your inspiration for your animation?</strong></h1><p>My inspiration stems heavily from Japanese mythological Yokai and "Kabuki-noir" as well as the work of the popular Malaysian artist, Zeen Chin. I wanted to capture the unsettling nature of a Yokai wraith who transforms the men who murdered her into marionettes that she now has control over as a form of revenge. The flowing, traditional-style robes were chosen deliberately because the way fabric drags, billows, and responds to a slow, deliberate walk cycle inherently adds drama and a surreal quality to the composition.</p><h1><strong>Tell us how Marvelous Designer creates value in this project.</strong></h1><p>Marvelous Designer is strictly necessary for grounding stylized characters in reality. In this project, the character wears a complex, multi-layered robe that interacts heavily with their limbs as they walk with outstretched arms. Hand-animating those folds or relying on standard 3D package cloth modifiers would not yield the necessary physical accuracy. I really did not have to do much to achieve the look I desired and it was genuinely a happy accident seeing how convincingly the sleeves slid down the Yokai’s arms. MD is such an amazing tool. I love it so much.</p><div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/56eOkP9ouE0?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><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/5ebaca44c6c94cf38e8bb9f50c3af911/images/1c7e7ab2771c40c2aa8c2756cbe3c7a6Yokai5.png" alt="1c7e7ab2771c40c2aa8c2756cbe3c7a6" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="1c7e7ab2771c40c2aa8c2756cbe3c7a6" data-width="1920" data-height="1080"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/5ebaca44c6c94cf38e8bb9f50c3af911/images/1454501597984554968edb1e55d6485eRender1.png" alt="1454501597984554968edb1e55d6485e" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="1454501597984554968edb1e55d6485e" data-width="1920" data-height="1080"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202605/5ebaca44c6c94cf38e8bb9f50c3af911/images/6c18dcb620724aecbf572657a2857e8cFinal0011.png" alt="6c18dcb620724aecbf572657a2857e8c" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="6c18dcb620724aecbf572657a2857e8c" data-width="1920" data-height="1080"><br><strong>What is your favorite feature or tool to use in Marvelous Designer?</strong></h1><p><strong>Sewing</strong>, the <strong>animation Mode</strong> and the <strong>Alembic export pipeline</strong> are my primary tools. The solver's ability to handle complex layered collisions without intersecting, especially on loose, flowing garments like the robe in this sequence saves hours of manual corrective sculpting. I also love the UV editor. Although rudimentary, at the moment, it streamlines my process considerably. I no longer have to worry about unwrapping in blender and it allows me to jump into texturing quickly. Love that.</p><h1><strong>For other users considering Marvelous Designer, do you have any advice or experience to share?</strong></h1><p>Keep your workflow disciplined. Build your garments with a high particle distance initially to quickly block out the silhouette and test your sewing patterns. Only lower the particle distance to refine the micro-folds once you are ready for the final simulation cache. Additionally, ensure your base avatar's animation is completely clean and free of intersecting geometry before bringing it into Marvelous Designer; good cloth simulation relies entirely on clean collision data.</p><p>Also, don't forget that you can add extra detail in any sculpting program you’re comfortable in and bake the detail down into normal maps in substance 3d painter.</p>
