Marvelous Designer to ZBrush [WORKFLOW] 

Heyhey, a new video finally! Hopefully you guys find those tutorial useful, cause there is no point in continuing if they are not! Let me know what you want next!

You chose the longest way to stitch each sub part for individual polygroup. When importing garment to Zbrush, you can weld closest vertices as a start and polygroup by UV islands based on your Marvelous patterns. Done.

ma'am i've been makaing topology manual for 3 days straight cuz i mess up it again and again, kudos to your workflow, many thanks wouldn't be enough🙏 i didn't know about this option, my life is easy now

you can also just increase the weld point distance, that should fix it all at the same time

Nice that masking stitch trick was new for me, thanks for that!

Super cool! 8:44 an alternative to weld more points may be to increase the weld distance (the slider on the right).

This is just what I needed!!!!! I think you should do a tutorial for how to create thicknesses if you haven’t already

Very cool. I think I have 2 ways to save you quite some time: 1. You could still weld your object when exporting and still get all the polygroups in ZBrush if you use "Auto Groups With UV" 2. Also I just export as obj (selected) in parts. For example divided into skirt, shirt, jacket etc. This way you don't have to separate (or if you followed the welded approach: simply click Auto Groups after importing the FBX and then group split which should separate every piece and then UV group again) Hope this was understandable. If not let me know.

Yo! Did ur way and got some issues. How did u import so good topology to zbrush? I mean the connections between chest and sleeves for example. Their topology is ideal quads and parts are matching to each other. Mine has somewhere triangles and dont match so well (had to do some quad-to-triangle stuff with zmodeler to close holes between parts). And now when i want to do bevel, the bevel goes all around my jacket xd it spreads to chest, colar, almost everywhere where the line goes. I ve imported it just like u, freezed and quadrangulate. + another question how to add thickness after ur workflow? Tried panel loop and it messes my shape cuz it's addin thickness to all polygroups i had

Thank you for this wonderful content 👍

❤ your tutorial. thanks so much

Beautiful Annabelle and amazing works!!!

Thanks for the tutorial. I loved the stich edges technique :)

Hey Annabelle, great tutorial! I've been trying to redo my workflow for quite sometime and came across a lot of different tips/tricks and I think I finally got one that produces some great results and also allows for you to reconstruct the subdivisions from your HP Marvelous Designer mesh. Most of this came from the Outgang community but also tweaked it a bit. Will try to write it all down and share with you guys!

what about Coller reverse polyiland? add thickness only on the reverse poly island!

Thank you so much! This was so easy to understand! ❤

Great approach! Thank you for the effort!

I was exactly looking for this, thank you soo much..god bless u....❤️❤️

Very useful indeed Annabelle. Thanks very much :)

thanks for the workflow, very helpful!

It's perfect! Thank you a million!!

thats sooo true 😭😭😭😭 thanks alot

YES ! Thank you!

Thanks ! Keep it up.

The main problem with Marvelous is topology. Automatic quad topology from Marvelous isn't exactly most optimized and that's, by my opinion, the most problematic part when talking about the workflow. Do you usually use the quadrangulated topology Marvelous creates on its own, or do you retopo it afterwards?

Thanks ❤

Great!! Thanks Anabelle 👍

Thank you very much for your tutorial, you helped to me a lot!

Thank you ❣️

hey thanks for sharing, the video is so helpful!

Thank you it’s really helpful!!👍

great video!thanks!)

Thank you so much

AMAZING

Really helpful, thanks!

Marvelous Designer to ZBrush and subtance painter

why not your export the outfit separately in MD? you dont actually need to split those one by one in Zbrush

In this way can you keep the same geometry? I need it to import in DAZ a morph made in MD (open zipper).

Was Super useful

Thank you

Nice!!! Thanks sis

When I make cloth in marvilous desinger and when I check the tepology the cloth disappears from the back side and also in iclone the cloth disappears from the back side Plz reply

Hey, Please how do fix the issue of when the texture projection shows on both the front and the back as if the mesh is transparent

Good work

Grazie 😌

great but one question, where do you get the elements of the clothing?

Nice vid!

thank you for this (: loveee ♥

When i import the FBX, it doesnt show up

Nice technique😊🙏

Hello Annabelle! Just wanted to say how big of a fan I am c: after finishing at Bdeb, I'm trying to figure myself out in university as a character artist and your videos and portfolio has really motivated me to do better and one day get to your level - to be continued! Once again, thank you for the infos and the tutos, even 2 years later they are so useful and help figure out a workflow that makes sense in bewteen programs that sometimes don't make sense lmao

WOW

sister you are very adorable

How do you export your character from zbrush to marvel correctly? when I export mine, it's a different size, inside Marvel the size is wrong.

Can u write here pc specs?

How or where can I get an interface/theme like this for my Zbrush?

I love you 😘

great but one question, where do you get the elements of the clothing?
