엉덩이 뒤쪽과 주머니 부분이 자꾸 엉키는 문제가 있어, 해당 부분의 원단을 강화시켜 유지하는 방식으로 해결했습니다.<img

설정했습니다.워크플로우는 Cinema 4D에서 캐릭터 모션을 잡은 뒤 Alembic으로 구워 Marvelous Designer로 가져와 의상 시뮬레이션 작업을 진행했습니다. 완성된 의상 시뮬레이션은 다시 Alembic으로 구워 Cinema 4D로 가져오는 방식으로 작업했습니다.<img

Self Introduction:My name is Sahar Khazeni, and I am a 3D Clothing Designer specializing in realistic and ultra-realistic garments and accessories. Using Marvelous Designer, I can create virtually any garment, fabric-based object, or item that behaves like fabric. My portfolio spans a wide range of projects, including fashion, gaming, and animation assets.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/fe52d3aad4dd4b46a4917bdec21096d41%20%281%29.png" alt="fe52d3aad4dd4b46a4917bdec21096d4" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="fe52d3aad4dd4b46a4917bdec21096d4" data-width="4800" data-height="4800">Project GoalThis project is the final render of one of my YouTube tutorials, where I demonstrate the complete workflow of transforming a modeled garment into a fully assembled character with accessories and a final pose.Another goal was to showcase the dress alongside the suitcase and umbrella, both of which I also created in Marvelous Designer. Through this combination, I wanted to demonstrate the versatility of Marvelous Designer and show that it is not limited to clothing design. With sufficient experience, it can be used to create a wide variety of fabric-based objects and assets with fabric-like behavior.<div data-youtube-video="" style="padding:56.25% 0 0 0; position:relative;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-rdb0hbUGBs" 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>Art DirectionMy initial concept placed the character in a city street scene beside a street lamp. However, I realized that additional environmental elements distracted attention from the dress, suitcase, and umbrella, which were meant to be the main focus.To keep the composition clean and emphasize these assets, I simplified the scene by using a black background with a subtle nighttime atmosphere. A cobblestone texture beneath the avatar was enough to suggest an urban setting without competing for attention, allowing the clothing and accessories to remain the visual focal point.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/545a5f3d92744fc99ea6b666481a0c341%20%282%29.png" alt="545a5f3d92744fc99ea6b666481a0c34" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="545a5f3d92744fc99ea6b666481a0c34" data-width="2000" data-height="3556"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/b0b0f1d6eb27451380996c058aa5518b1%20%283%29.png" alt="b0b0f1d6eb27451380996c058aa5518b" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b0b0f1d6eb27451380996c058aa5518b" data-width="2000" data-height="3556"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/2b38c35e77bc4b40a6000786a6e77b141%20%284%29%20copy.png" alt="2b38c35e77bc4b40a6000786a6e77b14" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="2b38c35e77bc4b40a6000786a6e77b14" data-width="2000" data-height="3556">Technical Process<ol><li>Modeling the Dress, Suitcase, and Umbrella</li></ol>The first step was modeling all the assets. For the dress, I used a reference inspired by Victorian-era European fashion and recreated it with only a few minor modifications. The suitcase was modeled almost exactly from a reference, while the umbrella was based on a reference image with some design changes.The most challenging part of the dress was the small flowers on the bodice and hat. None of the usual techniques produced a convincing result, so I modeled each flower individually and attached them one by one to achieve the look of a real handcrafted garment.Both the suitcase and the umbrella were modeled entirely in Marvelous Designer. The only exception was the umbrella handle, which I had previously created in 3ds Max. I imported it into Marvelous Designer as an avatar and built the fabric parts directly around it. All of the suitcase's metal-like components were also modeled inside Marvelous Designer.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/940ee6c0c85747e3a1a46970e8d3c85a1.jpg" alt="940ee6c0c85747e3a1a46970e8d3c85a" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="940ee6c0c85747e3a1a46970e8d3c85a" data-width="2276" data-height="1080"><ol start="2"><li>Using Marvelous Designer Tools and Features</li></ol>Two Marvelous Designer features were especially valuable during this project: Copy Instance and Layer.For the flowers, I modeled a single flower and duplicated it using Copy Instance. This feature allowed every copy to remain linked to the original, so any changes made to the base flower were automatically applied to all copies. This saved a significant amount of time and eliminated the need to edit each flower individually.The Layer feature was equally important. After attaching the flowers to the garment, they often intersected with the fabric and became visible from the inside. By assigning the flowers and the outer skirt panels to higher simulation layers, I prevented collisions with the underlying fabric and achieved a much cleaner and more realistic result.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/357114999df243dfa93de98a7ab9f7752.jpg" alt="357114999df243dfa93de98a7ab9f775" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="357114999df243dfa93de98a7ab9f775" data-width="1920" data-height="1023"><img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/a29ed847819047caa9c37cd04fe4f3035.jpg" alt="a29ed847819047caa9c37cd04fe4f303" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="a29ed847819047caa9c37cd04fe4f303" data-width="1920" data-height="1020"><ol start="3"><li>Fabric Setup</li></ol>Most of the outfit was created using Marvelous Designer's preset fabrics, primarily Cotton and Default. The only custom adjustment was made for the brim of the hat, where I used Trim Full Hard as the base fabric and modified its properties to achieve better shape retention and stability.The suitcase and umbrella were also created using preset fabric materials, as they already provided the behavior needed for those assets.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/64b303aa58904c18ae76d3f6037da8fc3.jpg" alt="64b303aa58904c18ae76d3f6037da8fc" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="64b303aa58904c18ae76d3f6037da8fc" data-width="1920" data-height="1023"><ol start="4"><li>Using Built-in Marvelous Designer Elements</li></ol>For the rivet-like details on the suitcase, I used Marvelous Designer's built-in button assets and slightly modified their shape to better match the design.For the suitcase buckles, although ready-made trim assets were available, I chose to create the buckles myself. After modeling them, I imported them as custom trims and positioned them manually to achieve the exact look I wanted.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/20648a7a3bdf4a67b1a1bcd77492fe7a4.jpg" alt="20648a7a3bdf4a67b1a1bcd77492fe7a" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="20648a7a3bdf4a67b1a1bcd77492fe7a" data-width="1920" data-height="1023"><ol start="5"><li>Final Setup</li></ol>For all three assets, I used a particle distance of 5 as the standard setting. This provided a good balance between preserving details and keeping the mesh lightweight. For smaller, more intricate areas, I reduced the particle distance to 3 to achieve smoother geometry and finer detail.Next, I assigned an appropriate thickness to each asset based on its material. The suitcase was given the greatest thickness to reflect its heavy leather construction, the garment used thinner values, and the umbrella was set somewhere between the two.Finally, I converted the meshes to quad topology to produce cleaner, production-ready geometry.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/78646235fc84450b8a4e6eb9926a8fcd6.jpg" alt="78646235fc84450b8a4e6eb9926a8fcd" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="78646235fc84450b8a4e6eb9926a8fcd" data-width="1488" data-height="873"><ol start="6"><li>Posing the Garment</li></ol>Since I used a female avatar from Daz Studio, I first adjusted the avatar to the desired pose inside Daz Studio. I also imported the suitcase and umbrella into the scene to ensure the avatar's hands fit naturally around them and matched their proportions accurately.I then exported the animated avatar with the motion data included and imported it into Marvelous Designer. After playing the animation, the avatar transitioned to the final pose, and the garment followed naturally during the simulation. Finally, I imported the suitcase into Marvelous Designer as well, allowing the side of the dress to interact with it and produce more realistic folds and contact.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/b7747474d4ae42bea3a67f8dad10a7b47.jpg" alt="b7747474d4ae42bea3a67f8dad10a7b4" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="b7747474d4ae42bea3a67f8dad10a7b4" data-width="1920" data-height="1017"><ol start="7"><li>Final Export</li></ol>For the final export, I exported the garment in two separate versions: one in the A-pose and another in the final posed state, both as FBX Thick meshes. The posed version was used for the final render, while the A-pose version was prepared for texturing.The A-pose is ideal for texturing because the garment remains symmetrical, with folds, wrinkles, and shading in their most natural and balanced state.The suitcase and umbrella were also exported separately as FBX Thick meshes for the following stages of the workflow.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/aeabad4f302a4a8695eb422b983506518.jpg" alt="aeabad4f302a4a8695eb422b98350651" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="aeabad4f302a4a8695eb422b98350651" data-width="1920" data-height="1023"><ol start="8"><li>Texturing</li></ol>The garment, avatar, suitcase, and umbrella were textured individually in Substance Painter.For some materials, such as the leather on the suitcase, I started with preset materials and customized them to fit the project. For other parts, especially the different sections of the garment, I created the materials manually from scratch. The avatar's face was also textured entirely by hand, with each facial element carefully painted and refined.Once the texturing process was complete, I exported all textures as 4K PBR maps for the final rendering stage.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/e2f9a6a391f1463aa24fc6f6e97567fa9.jpg" alt="e2f9a6a391f1463aa24fc6f6e97567fa" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="e2f9a6a391f1463aa24fc6f6e97567fa" data-width="1920" data-height="1008"><ol start="9"><li>Rendering</li></ol>For the final rendering, I used Marmoset Toolbag.Before rendering, I carefully arranged all the assets in the scene. The umbrella and suitcase were positioned naturally in the avatar's hands, ensuring proper alignment without intersecting the garment. I also added a simple plane beneath the character and applied a cobblestone texture to reinforce the urban setting.After assigning textures to all assets, I set up the lighting. A primary light from above was used to simulate a streetlight, while additional lights illuminated the garment and balanced the overall scene. Finally, I selected the desired image resolution and file format, then rendered the final images.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/7709459e4f1141e79dcb067426497a5b10.jpg" alt="7709459e4f1141e79dcb067426497a5b" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="7709459e4f1141e79dcb067426497a5b" data-width="1920" data-height="996"><ol start="10"><li>Final Editing</li></ol>The rendered images were already well-balanced in terms of lighting and color, but I made a few final adjustments in Photoshop to enhance the overall presentation.The edits were intentionally subtle, focusing on refining lighting, color balance, and bringing out fine details. My goal was to improve the final image without altering its original appearance or making it look significantly different from the render.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202606/72d3337172a242548499a9c47b8bb11c/images/54a1849093654b4a82472ff5b43ba43511.jpg" alt="54a1849093654b4a82472ff5b43ba435" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="54a1849093654b4a82472ff5b43ba435" data-width="1920" data-height="1032">ConclusionI believe the greatest strength of this project is the combination of the dress, suitcase, and umbrella as a complete set. What makes it even more interesting is that all three assets were modeled in Marvelous Designer.To me, this demonstrates that with a deep understanding of the software, its capabilities extend far beyond clothing design. It opens the door to creating a much wider variety of fabric-based assets and significantly expands the range of possible projects.Ballerina dress priject: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://connect.clo-set.com/community/post/3d39028ef524465693c04ec4603b7792">https://connect.clo-set.com/community/post/3d39028ef524465693c04ec4603b7792</a>Post-Apocalyptic outfit project: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://connect.clo-set.com/community/post/fcdda185e451454797210266aba524c4">https://connect.clo-set.com/community/post/fcdda185e451454797210266aba524c4</a>

Artist Introduction: please tell us about yourself.My name is Ella-Liencha and I live in South Africa. For years I searched for a way to express my creativity. I tried painting, drawing, and writing, but I always felt a pull toward something more - something that would allow my ideas to feel alive. In February 2025, at the age of 31, I discovered Marvelous Designer for the very first time. I had no background in 3D art or digital garment creation, yet the moment I opened the software, I was hooked!My curiosity carried me through every step of the learning process. I was fascinated by how fabric could be shaped to appear structured or fluid, how folds and silhouettes could guide the viewer’s eye, and how each design could evoke an emotion or story. With every experiment, I fell deeper in love with the possibilities.Participating in the Fantasy Archives competition was both an honor and a challenge. I felt I had everything to gain by simply trying. As a lifelong daydreamer, this theme felt like home, an invitation to bring my imagined worlds to life. Since I work a full-time job, most of this came together at night - hours of quiet crafting, stitching digital fabric together while my real world slept. It felt like threading my vision into the garment piece by piece: undoing, redoing, learning, and embracing the unpredictability of the process.Through trial and error, I allowed myself to enjoy the process fully, to follow inspiration rather than control it. That freedom ultimately led me to the piece that placed, and I’m incredibly humbled and grateful for the recognition.<hr>2. We’d like to hear more about the art direction in your Creator’s contest 2025 Vol.3. What was the visual style you were aiming for?To be honest, my initial concept looked nothing like what “Regal Rebel” ultimately became. But the heart of the idea never changed: I wanted to create a queen-like figure who refuses to conform - someone powerful, elegant, and unapologetically rebellious.My visual direction became a blend of Victorian influence and high fantasy - a meeting point between structure and softness, order and defiance. I experimented with how colors, fabrics, and textures could speak to one another: the richness of royalty intertwined with the unpredictability of rebellion.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202512/5f1d01f0486d47c6a3e697123df9c2a1/images/c303deda450e439a836af4f18f0721d7Untitled%20design%202.png" alt="c303deda450e439a836af4f18f0721d7" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="c303deda450e439a836af4f18f0721d7" data-width="3600" data-height="2025">Creating “Regal Rebel” felt very much like creating art itself. It was about pushing against boundaries, letting intuition lead, embracing mistakes, and trusting the process until the character revealed her true form.Several symbolic choices shaped the final design.The external crinoline cage:Traditionally hidden beneath skirts, here it becomes visible and symbolic. It reflects the “cage” of the Victorian era, its expectations and constraints. By placing it on the outside, her rebellion becomes unmistakable.The shorts instead of a long Victorian skirt:Few things scream rebellion more loudly than wearing shorts in a period defined by restrictive dress! The ruffles and lace preserve the era’s dramatic volume without losing the bold statement.Overall, the visual style aimed to capture a fantasy queen who embodies both grace and rebellion - someone who challenges tradition while still honoring the beauty of where she comes from.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202512/5f1d01f0486d47c6a3e697123df9c2a1/images/3d956cfa5d5f4e869d701567b2edab3dUntitled%20design%20%281%29%203.png" alt="3d956cfa5d5f4e869d701567b2edab3d" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="3d956cfa5d5f4e869d701567b2edab3d" data-width="2880" data-height="1620"><hr>3. Would you be able to give us a quick overview of the different tools you use in your pipeline with a focus on Marvelous Designer? Have you encountered any challenges and how have you overcome them?Oh wow! I have so much still to learn, and that honestly excites me more than anything. For Regal Rebel, my pipeline was simple but incredibly personal.Marvelous Designer became my sketchbook, my mood board, and sometimes even my chaos playground. I drafted patterns, stitched them together, tore them apart again, reshaped them, and kept refining until the character started revealing who she wanted to be. It was a very intuitive process, less linear, more like sculpting with fabric and movement.One of the biggest challenges was the armor elements. I wanted them to feel structured but not rigid, elegant but protective. Getting them to behave correctly in simulation meant playing and tweaking.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202512/5f1d01f0486d47c6a3e697123df9c2a1/images/f3fa4f7bf82a49fda904d744d8b10f502D-3D%20Marvelous%20Designer%203.JPG" alt="f3fa4f7bf82a49fda904d744d8b10f50" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="f3fa4f7bf82a49fda904d744d8b10f50" data-width="1917" data-height="1005">I also made heavy use of pressure simulation for the ruffled blouse and subtle gathers. Small changes in pressure and layering brought the softness and movement that helped balance the harsher armor.The external crinoline cage was another adventure. Normally it would hide under a dress, but here I wanted it to stand proudly. Marvelous Designer’s curve tools and thickness settings let me shape it like a structural frame - symbolic, expressive, and unapologetically visible. Once the garments felt alive in Marvelous, I moved into Blender for the atmospheric side of the story.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202512/5f1d01f0486d47c6a3e697123df9c2a1/images/358ee9bf08ab4d28bcc0f032873090982D%203.JPG" alt="358ee9bf08ab4d28bcc0f03287309098" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="358ee9bf08ab4d28bcc0f03287309098" data-width="1902" data-height="1028">Creating the boot cuffs and lacing was surprisingly one of the most time-consuming steps. I rebuilt those pieces several times in Marvelous until the tension and direction of the straps felt believable. But once they finally worked, they grounded the entire silhouette.<img src="https://storagefiles.clo-set.com/public/community/202512/5f1d01f0486d47c6a3e697123df9c2a1/images/40799857c8784b2c8582183b588e393a2D%20Close-Up%203.JPG" alt="40799857c8784b2c8582183b588e393a" class="custom-image original-size" data-id="40799857c8784b2c8582183b588e393a" data-width="779" data-height="996">In the end, Marvelous Designer gave me the structure and movement, and Blender let me wrap everything in emotion. Both tools together helped me bring Regal Rebel to life - a queen who stands in elegance, defiance, and power.<hr>4. Are there any tips and tricks with Marvelous Designer that you can share with the community?If there’s one thing Marvelous Designer has taught me, it’s this: play. Be curious, be bold, be messy, be experimental. Don’t worry about always being “right” - worry about being alive in your creativity.I came into the 3D world with no background at all, and I realized very quickly that Marvelous Designer rewards those who explore. Every time I pushed a button I didn’t fully understand, every time a simulation exploded into chaos, every time I stitched the wrong line and everything collapsed, I learned something new. You are never too old, too new, or too inexperienced to follow your passion. But above all else: enjoy the process. Marvelous Designer is both a tool and a playground. Approach it with curiosity, and it will reward you with unexpected beauty.If you’re stepping into 3D for the first time - welcome. It’s never too late, and your voice, your vision, and your story absolutely belong here. I am in awe every time I see the creators on Connect - their visions, their stories, the worlds they bring to life. They inspire me constantly. Being part of this community feels like my heart could burst; it’s one of my greatest motivators and one of the biggest joys of this journey.<hr>
