A short follow-up on this topic:
There is also a 'big sister' program of Marvelous Designer: It has more features and the name is
CLO Atelier. It has some useful extra functions like making marks on the garment (like a tailor uses chalk), possibility to import patterns in autodesk format, and facilities for more detail inthe garment, use 'ironing', add buttons, etc.
It uses the same data format as Marvelous Designer for the clothing and accepts Poser-generated Collada avatars.
Like Marvelous Designer they offer a fully functional free trial for one full month. This should be long enough to let you get the hang of it. The two subscriptions are not connected so you can enjoy 2 months of free experimentation and content creation.
Details of
the newest functions are here
When you are interested, do me a favor and use
this link to get it.
CLO Atelier itself does not come with any content or avatars, but if you still have the set that came with Marvelous Designer, they can be used also.
My
avatar for Pauline is also at Content Paradise for free. I would be happy to share also my Dawn avatar but I am afraid there would be some objections.
Noted disadvantge of Atelier is the geometry export is only to Alembic format, not to .obj. (Or is the absence of Alembic import a shortcoming of Poser? )
Does anyone know of a good converter?
