Intro to Marvelous Designer by David Bittorf

That’s a fantastic topic for a course! Marvelous Designer is a powerful software that allows users to create realistic 3D clothing for digital characters. Your course seems to cover a wide range of essential techniques and skills related to clothing creation in Marvelous Designer.

Starting with editing default avatars and importing custom avatars or models from DAZ3D provides flexibility and allows students to work with their preferred base meshes. The step-by-step approach you mentioned will be helpful for beginners as they learn how to create various types of clothing, such as underwear garments and jeans.

Covering topics like tracing patterns, sewing, creating pockets, implementing zippers and buttons, adding custom graphics and textures, tying knots, and using the modular configurator ensures that students gain a comprehensive understanding of the clothing creation process. These skills will enable them to create detailed and realistic garments for their digital characters.

It would be beneficial to include practical examples, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises to allow students to apply what they’ve learned. Additionally, providing tips and tricks for optimizing and refining the clothing simulation within Marvelous Designer would be valuable.

I’m excited to see how you’ll structure the course and guide students through the various aspects of clothing creation in Marvelous Designer. If you need any further assistance or have specific questions, feel free to ask!
