this tool is amazing, it is straightforward to use and looks so simple yet effective. I've just recently gotten into marvellous designer but when I saw it requires a subscription, I immediately jumped into the rabbit hole of searching for an alternative and found this! looks honestly perfect
honestly the fact that you have a video alone on how to play around with the general settings ranks it pretty high up there among the cloth addons on blender i've seen some other addons that SEEMS a bit better, but you actually show instead of just telling
Thank you so much for putting so much hard work on your addons! I have been using garment tool addon with zbrush workflow and it really helps and speed up the workflow without keep paying insane amount of money to marvellous designer every month . This update will make my work so much easier and I love it. please keep up the great work!
MD is like 50$ each month I think? I'm all against subscriptions if possible. That is why I did not move to zbrush maxon sub too... But I saw your last video, nice hair. I hope u will be back to HT once I implement cross section profile support.
@@bartoszstyperek6306 Same here man. subscription based software is really bad system for artist indeed. And yes absolutely. I honestly believe HT is best hair modeling tool out there for blender. And only reason why I started using zbrush hair creation workflow is it's easier to do pre-prepared hair chunk method there so once hair tool gets that cross section profile feature, I'll be back in a second. I'm really looking forward to it!
I actually stopped using MD when this came out a while ago. MD is of course great, but I'm using Blender mostly for game dev and Garment Tool + sculpting + cloth brushes - it's all I need.
Thanks. I was trying to explain to you, few months ago, what I was trying to achieve with - different cloth presets - per sewing patters. I hope it is clear now what I meant.
these addons look really cool. Is there a way you could upload Blob Fusion specifically to another platform that accepts pay pal? i can't currently use gum road.
AH!!! Finally..the long awaited update!! Hope you're doing great and really-REALLY appreciate your work! Don't know whether others pointed out one minor issue: on blender 3.6.x (or 3.6.8 in my case) - pin editing doesn't create pins (it shows the message 'The Pin End Done', but no pin created) and occasionally crashing blender when setting the 1st point and draging to the 2nd (not sure if such opeartion is in viable in blender, but still) But overall - it's AWESOME!! Just can't wait where the possibilites will lead the development! Thank you once again for your work! P.S.: hopefully this is a signal for me to switch to blender 4.x P.P.S: pin issue is also present in blender 4.0.2
Ok I will test the pins, if I can bring them back. Blender cloth sim has bug introduced in blender 3.4, that prevents me from bringing back some old features: for example cloth pulling no longer will work with this bug, so I had to reimplement it with Force Field (not as cool as old version). I will see if this bug affects cloth pining (I'm afraid it can). Btw. maybe you could confirm ths error on blender bug tracker: projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/115321 (more people reporting > bigger chance it will be fixed.
And its fixed in GT 2.0.1 - you can update using build in AutoUpdater - joseconseco.github.io/GarmentToolDocs/#updating . This is yet not on gumroad. Thanks for bug report.
AWESOME! Now it works perfectly! And hopefully, I'll collect all my thoughts and workaround for the cloth sim parameters and their interdependencies - all these tension-shearing-compression-jibberish.. and prolly convert them into some single slider like "Wrinkles factor". I'm actually have my little operator script that adds my preseted clothsim modifier and collision on their corresponding objects that were tested on meters dimension. Also - if I may - I would like to recommend setting default "Collision Quality" to 2 at least - yeap it's a perfomance tradeoff, but still it gives WIERDLY much more consistent result with preventing geometry penetration while colliding. ..ah..there are some more thoughts..but jeez..need to write them down..
thanks. Its addon quite old - few years. now I just finally updated it for blender 4.x new gpu module, since it was broken for few months ;) + some new features on top.
This looks amazing! Huge question though, does it translate well into real life sewing pattern making like in Marvelous Designer? Or has anybody tried? I am an animator myself but this seems like a better value to invest learning for when I do my own sewing designs. Thanks in advanced!
When making this addon I noticed that proper sewing patterns dimensions have big influence on how the cloth looks - IMO proper sewing patterns are more importand that cloth sim engine itself. However this was meant to be used for game art clothing, so I'm not sure how well it would translate to real life. The addon has 2week refund policy, so you could always test it out and see if it works for your case.
@@bartoszstyperek6306 Thank you for your honest reply! I can see how this is better suited for digital cloth sim rather than real life sewing patterns. I am still new to sewing and pattern designing myself, so hopefully more skilled individuals could discover this and try it out too 😊
HI, can someone tell me is it possible to interact with previously made cloth? For instance if i want to load finished piece of garment like t-shirt(all quad polys), can i still interact with it?
See this part - ua-cam.com/video/lmJpfygxt4U/v-deo.html , also make sure you initialized the sim - joseconseco.github.io/GarmentToolDocs/garment_panel/#initialize-simulation
in theory yes, with lots of strips of geometry, but it would require enabling self collisions on folded skirt. So it may be slow to simulate, and lots for work to make all the plaids... I would probably model plaids, and use simpler skirt version - to deform modeled version with simpler simulated mesh version.
interesting 🤔almost looks like marvelous designer, but without the imperfect triangles from MD. MD has a new retopology that is quite good, but not perfect. Will auto-retopology make perfect tris/quads like the original shirt template?
blender has not auto topology. U could try to use zbrush auto-retopo (zremesher) but I'm not sure if segmets counts will match in sewed edges in cloth patters...
the resulting sim - can it be viewed on web-browser? I do not know much about THreeJS, but If it can import Alembic file, then u could export simulated cloth from Blender to Alembic and load it into web browser. But generating whole garment from zero - using just python, while in theory it would be possible, then I think it would be hard.
@@nightwalkerj Which key do you use to rotate camera? I could add it into GTOol passthrough list. They way it works now, modal sewing operator will pass MMB key to blender. but if it is not used for camera move , then it will do nothing I guess..

Thanks. I think GTool is only blender addon , where you can design your sewing patterns like in MD. I do not like subscriptions too ;)

i've seen some other addons that SEEMS a bit better, but you actually show instead of just telling
Thanks. I think most of the addons deal with mesh cloth modeling but this one is more about making sewing patterns (from 2d curves).

BRO RECREATED MARVELOUS DESIGNER IN BLENDER.
Well, it is not MD but should be good for base cloth generation. Sculpting wrinkles is super hard. This should solve that issue.
Definitely the best addon for creating cut and sewing pattern and simulation cloth in blender!
I actually stopped using MD when this came out a while ago. MD is of course great, but I'm using Blender mostly for game dev and Garment Tool + sculpting + cloth brushes - it's all I need.
No, is not near marvelous, but it suffices for some simple things
Looking forward to this with much interest your work is amazing, keep it up!
Incredible improvements !!
Thank you, Bartosz! That's rad!

insane.
On the Gumroad page, in the refunds section, there is a typo where it says Hair Tool.
thx. I copied this from HTool section. Now fixed.
Side question: since this is clearly the best solution for my cloth needs, perhaps you have a recommendation for the easiest solution for HAIR? 😬
Yes - bartoszstyperek.gumroad.com/l/hairtool. And u can check all my products here: bartoszstyperek.gumroad.com/

Can this be used programmatically through its API ? Like for example integrating this with ThreeJS to create a web browser visualization
the resulting sim - can it be viewed on web-browser? I do not know much about THreeJS, but If it can import Alembic file, then u could export simulated cloth from Blender to Alembic and load it into web browser. But generating whole garment from zero - using just python, while in theory it would be possible, then I think it would be hard.
Apparently, you can't rotate your camera once in Edit Sewings. Why is that?
Try holding MMB + drag to rotate 3d view around . Seems to work here. Maybe u use different shortcuts in your blender?
@@bartoszstyperek6306 I do. I use a Maya hybrid setup. Is there a way to fix that? MMB and drag doesnt work.

I think blender spreading like a tree branch in every sphere of 3d and even 2d. Most commercial players are in shock, how to deal with it😢.
I cant keep up with all the blender features too. But just pick few things that are in your area of interest and focus on them .
Very Nice!!
