If you want to create the most realistic clothing and cloth for your 3D projects, Marvelous Designer is simply the best option available in the world of CG. MD is a very unique piece of software that is a hybrid of real-world sewing and 3D graphics. For this reason, it can be a challenge for most 3D artists to learn.

Luckily, you've found this course taught by an expert in Marvelous Designer. Learn Marvelous Designer: A Hands On Approach is a unique learning opportunity created just for you. The course uses Marvelous Designer Version 7.

Unique Course Structure

This course has a very unique structure. It was created so that you will stay engaged and participate from beginning to end. There are four sections that include:

1. Introduction to Course

2. Marvelous Designer Layout

3. Animated Inflatable Man Project

4. Animated Blouse & Pleated Skirt Project

Within each section are two-part lessons. The first part is a video where I will show you features and functions within Marvelous Designer. In the second part, you are given a list of instructions to follow. This is the Hands-On part of the course. You don't have to take notes during the video or try to remember where every tool or menu option is. I'll lead you step-by-step in the Hands-On part, so you can build the projects as successfully as I do.

Why Learn Marvelous Designer?

Marvelous Designer has quickly become the most popular way to create garments and cloth for use in 3D projects. Some of the biggest names in the CG industry are using Marvelous Designer. The MD client list includes EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard and Walt Disney.

Marvelous Designer gives these industry leaders an advantage because it can create the most realistic cloth in the least amount of time. They are all incorporating MD into their pipelines and the demand for artists with MD skills just keeps increasing.

My Ideal Student

The ideal student for this course is someone who is interested in learning Marvelous Designer. My course is suitable for the complete beginner or those with more experience. You will need to have the MD software to complete the course. MD has a free trial version available, if you aren't ready to purchase the software.

If you have some 3D graphics or real-world sewing experience, things may be easier for you to understand, but this isn't necessary. I'll teach you everything you need to know, even if you are a complete newbie to MD and sewing.
