    if you have a lot of free time, im sure you can make a lot of stuff in a month.

    Dont forget CLO3D has a free trial too, which is basically the same program with same tools, and project files are compatible between them.  So you actually get 2 free months...

    If you don't fight it then it's really easy to use. The biggest hurdle is to stop thinking about things like a modeller and start thinking about them as a tailor.

    Making the MD items usable in Daz Studio might be a whole different animal too.

    Is using MD made clothes in DS as simple as export and import?

    My ten cents would be STOP supporting subscritption software (unless your company that owns you use it).

    If we keep complying with subscription craq, soon we will own nothing. You will have to pay to make children in the future.

    This is just how lovers of money works in this world.

    I was wondering, how about military uniforms? Can military uniforms be created in it? Especially uniforms with a "full" collar blouse, not with a blouse open at the neck and showing a collared shirt with a tie? Can collar pads and other insignia pads/patches be created in it too?

    Yes, you can. But you should know MD like a pro. I think that it's better to create solid elements in Blender, sorry, Hexagon and then import them into MD (or you can add solid elements later in Blender/ZBrush after you created clothing - it's up to you, you are a pro ;).

    no idea what youre talking about but i assume the answer is yes - anything that is fabric can be modelled pretty easily.

    I am talking about a very different esthetics style than the modern US uniforms, which seems to be the almost exclusive style available. Something akin to the Austro-Hungarian style:

     

    You can see someone make a detailed coloar sort of like what you want here:

    And I created this jacket in MD a long time ago.  It's not great but that's my fault, not the tool. The buttons were not done in MD, I modelled them in Hexagon and added them as rigid follow nodes in DAZ Studio

    It's a freebie:  https://sharecg.com/v/91664/view/21/DAZ-Studio/British-Constable-Jacket-and-Hat-For-G3M

    I also made this coat, everything (except the chrome bits) including the straps and pockets was done in MD

    Also a freebie:  https://sharecg.com/v/86070/view/21/DAZ-Studio/Trek-TWOK-Excursion-Coat-Genesis-2-Male

    Thank you for the answers. It may take me a while (maybe a few years), before I learn enough to be able to create such things, but at least I have a long term goal.smiley

    Am I imagining it or was there a Marvelous Designer Section/thread. I could only find this when I searched.  Thanks

    MArvelous designer lives up to it's name IMO. Online, you can find tons of free sewing patterns, and use those to experiment with. Or you can reach into your wardrobe, grab a cloth item you like, and see how it was sewn together and try to recreate it in MD.

    This is the best channel I found for MD tutorials.

    Oh, that is a good tip. I didn't realise they were practically the same when I got MD8. I did make a lot of stuff in that first trial period but, I got hooked and bought it anyway. I use it all the time, not sure if I'll upgrade to the subscription anytime soon though. I'll stick with 9.5 for a year or two until there's something I can't live without.

    I have used a variety of 3D tools, not really an expert at any of them, but know how to use. Never used Marvelous Designer, and wondering how difficult it is to use?  I need to create clothing for some original characters, and can't find the right clothing.  From 1-10, 1 being easy and 10 hard, how difficult is MD?  

    It's one of the most useful tools for making clothing morphs for Daz.  It's super easy to use for that (dragging fabric around in real time whilst it's simulating is just amazing compared to dForce that'll take a half hour to do your sim).  In terms of making clothes with a few hours experience I made some basic leggings (the hard part is rigging and corrections once you get it into Daz).   I had fun making and hanging curtains for my archviz modelling too.  That was also super easy.
