CLO Virtual Fashion will release Marvelous Designer for Linux on 30 September 2025. The company confirms support for Rocky Linux 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, and equivalent distributions. The Linux version is aimed squarely at studio pipelines. CLO states the release was designed with “stability and simulation accuracy in mind,” focusing on predictable results in production environments.
All features, plus Python API
The Linux edition ships with the same toolset as the current Marvelous Designer builds on other operating systems. In addition, CLO introduces a Python API.
According to the official announcement, this interface enables users to:
- Run scripts directly inside Marvelous Designer
- Batch import and export files
- Adjust and control simulation parameters
- Automate repetitive tasks and workflows
This makes the Linux edition not only feature-complete, but also more automation-friendly than previous versions.
Enterprise-oriented integration
The release is clearly targeted at enterprise use, with the focus on pipeline automation, batch operations, and scriptability. CLO emphasises scalability and consistency, though these are vendor claims and not independently verified at press time. Studios relying on Linux-based render and simulation farms can now integrate Marvelous Designer directly without the need for Windows or macOS workarounds.
Availability
Marvelous Designer for Linux will be available from 30 September 2025. At press time, CLO has not published pricing details specific to the Linux version. The product can be accessed via the official Marvelous Designer website then. As with all new software releases, professionals should test the Linux build thoroughly before integrating it into production pipelines.
