With just a few clicks, you can turn your ideas into a complete outfit that can be integrated directly into the scenes. For those who prefer to juggle with formats instead of fabric patterns: The plugin supports all common Blender formats, including OBJ, FBX, and Alembic. Even Marvelous Designer fans are not left out in the cold – the tool also eats .MD and .MXD files. If you need it, you get it. And without a thread.

The cut in the Blender work

With the plugin from Xane Studios, your clothing production workflow will be faster than any online mail order company. Instead of tediously cutting and adjusting the polygons manually, you can now simply generate and vary them. Shirt, trousers, coat – all from a single mould. Whether the outfit is haute couture or a catwalk catastrophe is up to you. The tool links seamlessly with Blender’s existing physics engine. So don’t worry – the garment won’t miraculously slip off your characters even during wild animations. Everything that needs to be fixed is fixed here by placing a few prametres on the model, defining “fluffiness and a few fabric textures and properties, and off you go. This saves time and nerves, which can be better invested in spectacular VFX effects – and not in fashion design.
