I wasted 450 on MD just for them to tell me they’re going sub only and my one time license will be no good with future updates unless I surrender it for a subscription, so I’ve been waiting for a company to replace them for the longest. I hope them and any other cloth program replaces them for good. I don’t like predatory business models for a program that blocks creativity.
FINALLY, something I've tried extensively before being covered on this channel! So as impressed as I am with this software, it's REALLY unstable. Crashes a lot when mesh collisions don't play well, especially with unconventional imported models (tails, multi-object bodies, feathers, etc.) and/or higher quality deformation settings. That's honestly why I surmised it's completely free; as amazing as its offerings are, they know well themselves that it's not ready for a full-fledged industry adoption. Also, as cool as the customization options are (especially love the extruding skirt length and full-body automated skinning start), it still suffers from a similar issue of difficulty in automated weight transfers with most other cloth addons like Simply Cloth. So to get the final pose that you want, it will STILL rely heavily on how well the weights are handled by your original FBX model. BUT, these are my experiences from having used them in like late 2022. Happy to still see it get its deserved coverage. A very ambitious software, and it definitely doesn't disappoint in what it can bring. I'll give it another go actually, and hope that it's improved on their stability.
Hard app crashes shouldn't still be a problem in this decade with modularity & isolation of modern software architecture. Without a good source of funding I doubt this'll be resolved anytime soon, if at all - with a free application like this, where's the money for this sponsership coning from? Sounds like another MLM-esque creator data prison/honeypot scam.
@@TheYahmez Apparently Audaces is already a brand name in the fashion automation industry. They're also dipping their toes in the 3D modeling with their income I guess. And to be VERY fair, I've really tried to probe and mess to the utmost extent that the software will allow, to make it crash. Like, literal alien bug creatures with separate exoskeletal mesh faces, which forced like 40+ face cloths on the abdomen alone. Their team is also quite responsive to my complaints, when I last conveyed my issues. So try not to default to pessimism, especially when you've never tried it at all. I admit that I omit a lot of details in my assessment, but that's mainly because I'm not your bog standard model enjoyer. I know just how convoluted my FBXs are, and I speak from that position. So I'm pretty sure this software would work just fine with most humanoid and animals without any crashes.
This thing is going to *completely* change how I make clothes for 3D characters. If you ever get the chance, plz do an Audaces Fashion Studio to UE5 workflow video! 👀
I had this issue too, had to fight it to work, lot of effort to install this software and then I find out my experience with Marvelous Designer was more pleasant
This software seems so dodgy. it autostarted with my computer running three separate programs. I had to uninstall audaces fashion studio, audaces analytics and audaces go separately. I would not be recommending it. It seems like its only free so they can gather enough data from this alpha software so sell their subscriptions.
cant even download it. looping at the contact info stage. add email addy etc, get email with link to download, get asked to add my info again. rinse and repeat. cant even sort a download link, not a good start. not sure it would work for my usecase but probably never find out because their sites shockingly bad.
I like the idea of creating directly in 3d and not having to draw 2d patterns, but once done can you export the clothes and simulations back to blender or other 3d software?
Yup you can. It uses standard FBX import/export. The issue is that it doesn't carry over the (very important) FBX data back, like weights and vertex groups... at least when I last tried it a year or so back. Maybe it's there now?
Really appreciate the fresh perspective you brought in with this. Thanks a lot for sharing - it's inspiring and definitely adds a valuable touch to what I've been exploring!
Damn! i was so excited about this until i read that it installs telemetry and a licence server! really could do with a good, free or even perpetual alternative to MD. i don't see the point of launching a competitor to MD if you're going to charge a similar subscription eventually with fewer features. i wouldn't mind something a little less fully featured than MD if it was cheaper or free. The indie/solo game dev space is really lacking something like this atm, unless of course you want to use blender. but the cloth simulation just really isn't good enough yet.
I found this a few months ago. I searched for videos, forum posts or any other coverage. Except for the official YT channel there was none. Also, the app doesn't give you the choice where to install it. I hate this. So I just deleted it with the thought "malware/scam until someone prove wrong" :D
On the top menu go to Creation > Remove Cuts > then flag the option Unsew only > Click on the seam you want to separete. Then clicking on simulate you can pull the part you want however you want

This app definitely looks like malware. And yes, it installs at least other 2 apps, which one is instaled as a service. The author says it works with extremely low resource requirements, but I see the opposite thing - their service highly loads my SSD at the PC startup. I know, all these apps from Adobe, Autodesk, etc. do the same thing. But when an unknown "free" program does that, there are many questions appear. Do they spy on user? Why do they do so? :) I think if an app is really free, it should not install any "licensing services". Be aware, guys.
Subscription base. The price is almost the same as marvelous design, so it's better to use MD. This is the price on Audaces site: 214.80$ for 1 year with a 7-day free trial.
It's not free because it does not work. You can't access the cloud servers to make it work. They are doing it on purpose se that you end up purchasing it. I'm not alone on this comment section with the same issues.
@@brianmolele7264 That does not make sense. Why would the servers being down "insure" you buy the program when not having the servers up so you can access the program would guarantee you do not want to buy the program? What you are describing is the typical new company does not 1) have their stuff fully together or 2) higher demand than they are set up to supply. This is NOTHING new or suspicious. And no, I don't think the program will be free forever. But having trouble "getting in the door" does not mean the program is free [at the time of this posting].
hmmm.. nothing like CLo or MD to be frnakly. marvelous designed the perfect clothing software.. its very technical I think this is nice but for amateurs...

I don't get why this guy don't even try things before making a video about it 😂

All I can say is FINALLY !!!! thank you Audaces
Thanks for showing this interesting software! Been looking around for something like this!
beware, it installs a telemetry secondary app. Uninstalled and trashed even before having started trying it, and never to go back to it
What is telemetry secondary app?
This is brilliant ❤❤❤ I've been using marvelous designer and other once too it never felt like this one as 3dartist focused one
1:20 omg googling this stuff is the bane of my existence!😅
The reason why nobody talks about it is the fact you can't log in to the account. Even if you update the password. You get looped into signing in.
I had this issue too, had to fight it to work, lot of effort to install this software and then I find out my experience with Marvelous Designer was more pleasant

Thanks. I wish this guy test things before making these impressive videos
This software Is made in unity lol
@@onewayroad3765 Really?
Seems easier to use than Marvelous Designer
I tried it and I thought MD is easier lol, it just feels limiting, that's why all tutorials for it look so basic
Had my eye on this for a while, hoping it comes to iPad soon, as it by far looks the most intuitive.
Looks intuitive
cant even download it. looping at the contact info stage. add email addy etc, get email with link to download, get asked to add my info again. rinse and repeat. cant even sort a download link, not a good start. not sure it would work for my usecase but probably never find out because their sites shockingly bad.
I had to struggle getting the license server to work, then the software wasnt English by default

Thanks for the recommendation!
You have to go on a cloud service... not for me.
"In the future, we’ll charge users subscriptions to use Fashion Studio"
- so, not a secure option at the moment.
Really appreciate the fresh perspective you brought in with this. Thanks a lot for sharing - it's inspiring and definitely adds a valuable touch to what I've been exploring!
which is better, this or marvelous designer?
MD, it just has more tools and way more tutorials showing more detailed clothing
can the software move fabric in real time?
What about animation? No mention of importing animated avatars, forces like wind and turbulence, exporting to blender/c4d..
Seems like u cant send your character's animation there and to simulated ?
Cool tool 👍
(Medieval) Armour falls under the same category?
Damn! i was so excited about this until i read that it installs telemetry and a licence server! really could do with a good, free or even perpetual alternative to MD. i don't see the point of launching a competitor to MD if you're going to charge a similar subscription eventually with fewer features. i wouldn't mind something a little less fully featured than MD if it was cheaper or free.

is this similar to clo or marvelous designer? or perhaps simpler and basic version? im trying to download this software

no blemder is the bestt
Whenever someone bad-mouths Blender, they're trying to sell you something that Blender does for free.
dis for free? ( just curius)
i hope it will not too expensive inthe future
But Can I import animated cgaracters?
did you ever find out?
Hi? Can it handle fluid simulations
I really don’t believe cloth “draping” amounts to “simulation”… It doesn’t seem to support cloth simulation on animated characters…
Simple. Nobody talk about because they don't know this software exist
I’m still trying to figure out how to separate the jacket. I want it open. No tuts showing that.
On the top menu go to Creation > Remove Cuts > then flag the option Unsew only > Click on the seam you want to separete. Then clicking on simulate you can pull the part you want however you want
Is it available for Linux?
I just hope they have a perpetual option even if its yearly.
I can't seem to find any pricing information on their website, how much will this software cost?

@@I_was_a_Bullfrog subscription? Thank you. I'm out. Don't want to pay monthly for something I use sometimes.
probably because there is no download link

Be aware, guys.
Is this another subscription-based software?
You have to run a License server to even have it work, so future doesn't look good
It's free for the moment, but according to their FAQ they will eventually start charging a subscription
Subscription base. The price is almost the same as marvelous design, so it's better to use MD.
This is the price on Audaces site: 214.80$ for 1 year with a 7-day free trial.
But how does it fair against marvelous designer
Bad, MD has way more tools and stability
Meh its subscription
Subscription. HARD PASS
not craked versions..
Is it free?
It seems to be for now. You can at least check them out yourself. The link is in the description.

Every 3D artist should have the basic polygon modeling skills to create clothing for humanoid characters.
