For a while I have been working to solve a deep frustration with the way I could use results of Marvelous Designer in Poser. With Marvelous Designer I had an ever improving machine to make garment models quickly and with big fun. I recognized the potential when MD 2 came about and over the time I must have made hundreds of garments for a plethora of figures. Yet these garments made it to my Poser work ony with difficulty. Reasons were simple. Conforming clothing, at least when I rig it, sucks for anything that is not one-size-fits-all tricot worn close on the skin. Fabric does not behave like skin, and a jacket does not rotate with the hip unless it is tied in at the waist. The cloth room, one of the reasons I purchased Poser 5 at the time, does not respect layer orders and lacks every method of influencing the drape. Manual transfer of data between Poser and MD vice-versa is a tedious process involving many dialogs and switches that had to be set right each time. Modern Poser figures have advanced rigging that either does not translate well into Collada or does not translate there at all. Object geometry turned out to be the only reliable transfer method. With Marvelous Designer 7 a form of scripting support was introduced. The API did offer methods to transfer data between MD and Poser. I set off on writing a system that would bring the essential steps of data transfer back to pressing a button. As with many features in the ground-breaking technology program that MD is, the implementation of the scripting also remained to be a moving target for quite a while. This has now (I hope) settled and with some precautions my 'bridge' is usable.

It makes no sense to let it sit on my system only and I therefore offer it for download via Freestuf here.

Feedback, discussions and questions can best come in the Marvelous Designer forum here on Rendo. (You never knew we had one, did you?)

One more thing: The bridge works also with the 30 days free trial licenses. So: You can try now for 30 days with present version 7.5 They announced MD version 8. New versions come with a public Beta. Unless they change policies, MD 8, once out, will allow you a new 30 days free trial. So the longer you wait, the less you can try it for free.
