Hi philc

I want back to your web site to make sure I was following the directs correctly and here is what happening.

I load the dress for MD and adjust it to fit correctly on the K4 figure. I then I follow these directions on your web  page.

Select the dress, pick group and cloth shape save as a new prop and delete the orginal dress and save the new dress to library so I can reload it and use the OBJ2CR2. 

But when I save to library, it save the K4 figure instead of the dress.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Kimberly

Quote - You'll get that message if you have group names in the dress that do not match a bone name. Suggest that you check your grouping and bones.

If you think it may help and would like to send me the files I'll be happy to take a look at them and help walk you through this.

I might take you up on that. I made the dress in marvelous designer and tried to use OBJ2CR2 but it removed part of the dress and moved it to the left of the figure. So I did your tutor and got the message as posted above.

I will give it another try then I might take you up on looking at it.

Thanks
Kimberly

HI, I done the step by step along with PhilC but when I go to leave the set up room I get the message: "This figure contains polygons which are not grouped to belong to a bone. Are you sure you want to leave the setup room?"

If I go back to the pose I stil have the rip in the dress.  I have done the tutor several time and can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Kimberly

Ok, I have my shirt made for k4 in MD and put in poser 2012, did the rigging and removed extra bone.  Now, when I was using DAZ I had to save it as figure or prop before listing it on sharecg but I have never done this in Poser.

If I understand correctly I have to save the shirt as a figure and then put together a runtime file with the object and material. However the material was added in MD and I am not sure if there any extra steps when saving it so I can get it all in one runtime folder. Plus I really not sure what folder inside the runtime the shirt object goes in.

How do I save it in poser so I can list it on sharecg?

Thanks - I really lose on what how to save this for someone else to use.

It has been at least two months since the Genesis Supersuit was released, and I have yet to see anything that has been done with it other than the Promo videos. As I cannot yet afford to get it, I at least am chomping at the bits to see some artwork that is using it.

Stay awesome!

Hi, I have given up on the supersuit and daz. I've moved to Poser and Marvelous Designer. So I don't have anything to share.  :)

Quote - Marvelous Designer is an outstanding piece of software. I've been using it for a couple of years now. I don't really have anything technical to add to this discussion, but I do have examples of what it can do. I recently completed a personal project called 'The Jenny Wren Project'.

All the clothing for the project was created in Marvelous Designer and exported to Poser Pro 2012.

Wow, great gallery pictures.

What MD-Poser bridge?  Is there a plug in?

Yes, a human one. ;-)

You export the clothing in .obj format (use 1 Poser unit is 8.6 foot) and import it in Poser, no scaling.  

And for a plug-in? who knows what will come but not announced yet. 

Yes the human plug-in!  I know that type of plug-in well..   :)

If you use V4 in the zero pose, would it be best to click the show arrangement bounds volume and move the dots to the right places on the avatar to fix correctly?

Quote -  Anyone who wants to try the MD-Poser bridge without going too deep into MD cloth tweaking should give these figures serious consideration.  I add a few images of Angela with 'straight from the rack' clothing by Marvelous Designer.  

What MD-Poser bridge?  Is there a plug in?

Quote - Locate the OBJ file that you saved from Marvelous Designer. It should import properly sized and positioned.

Use the cloth room to pose the dress with the figure.

 

That's it!

Thank for all the help, I will print this out and add to 3d notebook.

Amazing dress in the picture. I have been working all day on learning long sleeves and adding extra bones to a long skirt, slowly getting there.  :)  

This is my first MD dress. It a pumpkin pregnancy dress if anyone wants to see: http://www.marvelousdesigner.com/gallery/1232/holloween-pumpkin-pregnancy-dress

I will probably learn both in time but I'm so ready to get done learning and do some real work-work. 

:) 

Thank you, I printed all that out.

Let me ask you one more thing.  I have watched several tutors on poser cloth room where people pose the figure then run a simulation. (I think that is what is is called) but I also read you can import target poses and/or morphs into MD.

I just learned rigging for conform to clothing and not well, my dresses, between the legs keep getting split into two parts and look more like pants. LOL, for now I stick to pants.

So which should I learn, poser or MD to add morphs and making the clothing fix in a pose?

Love the MD software, it is pretty simple since I worked with nodes for years in corel draw. However I have a few question about MD with poser.

I was using the Dev Miki 4 exported to MD at a COLLADA.

When I exported the obj to poser the clothing pattern didn't export.  Am I doing something wrong or is that just how it worked.

The shirt I made import into poser a lot bigger than miki figure, is that normal?

I have been readying MD help guide but I am a bit lost. http://manualen.clo3d.com:1975/02fa9d1951420761#cd98faa8cb5b0137#SEARCH

Can I do clothing morphs in MD?

Thanks

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I downloaded the trial version and working on something to enter in the Halloween contest for a discount.

I like the carrara software a lot and but I really want to get serious on making clothing content for a freebie web site and to sell so I'm really considering Marvelous Designer.
