Julia came across Marvelous Designer 3 once when we were trying to make 3D clothing together. I loved its cloth draping algorithm despite its other shortcomings and delved deeper into how it could be used to drape existing clothing, especially for use with animations.
I took a break from it after version 6 and only recently got back into it with version 10, so perhaps more articles may appear here in the future.
So far I've written 21 articles about Marvelous Designer.
Here's a list of every single one.If you prefer a view with teaser content and pictures, take a look at the Marvelous Archives.

I’ve made several surprisingly popular videos about Marvelous Designer a few years ago. They’re not many, and perhaps not particularly cutting edge anymore, but I thought they deserve to be features somewhere. Enjoy!
