This update adds many new features as well as a simulation speed that is 30 percent faster. On the Mac, rendering is also said to run 70 percent faster now. According to CLO Virtual Fashion, in Version 5 all changes in the 2D Window are automatically synchronised in the 3D Window twice as fast.
Now you can really play the designer for the 3D characters, because patterns can now also be cut to size with internal shapes or lines.
And track internal shapes in patterns and also reverse them.
With Version 5, users can align several points along a specific axis.
Furthermore, it is now possible to use specific measurements as input for patterns and internal line segments.
Rounding the corners of a 3D fabric piece is also now much easier to handle.
Before exporting the garments, the UVs of the patterns can be checked to see whether they are really tailored to fit the 3D character.
Of course, the right arrangement is also important in fashion design: Marvelous Designer users can fold and arrange the clothing patterns accordingly before activating the simulation.
The patterns and .objs can also be adjusted more easily directly on the avatar and the clothing.
Marvelous Designer 5 costs 550 US dollars for a perpetual licence or 60 US dollars per month. The annual rental licence is available for 360 US dollars.
Here is all further information about Marvelous Designer 5.
