Many people think that Marvelous designer is for amateurs and beginners. Actually you can't get much done without being fairly proficient and accustomed to a high end modeling tool. So if you are making cloth to be distributed MD is just another tool in the box for the advanced user and a very good tool at that. Without you are at an disadvantage compared to the other pros. If you are successful selling your stuff and not can afford 700 dollar I need to rethink some misconceptions I have had uptil now..
