This 13+ hour project-based course takes you from absolute beginner to advanced level inside Marvelous Designer, teaching not only the tools, but also the real production workflow used in the industry. You will learn how to create accurate pattern-based garments, design without patterns using creative techniques, manage complex scenes, and export your garments for texturing and rendering in Blender and Substance 3D Painter.
Course Structure
✔ Chapter 1 – Introduction & Core Knowledge (4 hours)
Understanding the interface, tools, simulation system, pattern logic, fabric settings, internal lines, and essential theory behind garment creation.
