It is here, and it is working :) Marvelous Designer's excellence with UE5.4 :) Step by step walkthrough, would you try it???
Thank you for doing this! What a time to be alive.
Heck yeah let me find your tut on this
UGH! ANOTHER Marvelous designer advertisement. Their terms are no good!
@@peterbelanger4094 Sir. The MD "usda" finally dispatches the cloth with the textures. However the cloth (a sleeveless gown) still breaks when my female MH does a catwalk especially during the turns. Wish it is possible to have a blemishless clothing setup.
The tutorial is so good. It restores hope in humanity.
Oh my! Thank you 🙏 my friend, so much 🥹
You know I was trying it so hard to achieve cloth simulation but I fail every time. And this tutorial showed up from nowhere and this is very very helpful for me.
I am not aware of marvelous designer version and I am trying to export cloth from MD but that last option of simulation data is not there and that piss me off.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and full of informative tutorial.
Hey 👋 I’m glad you found this channel, about MD export and the SIM data not showing up is probably because you have an older version, try using the free demo they have on the website and try. I have videos showing cloth simulation with normal mesh and not only MD, try it and if you have questions please don’t hesitate 😊
Thank you for taking us thru step by step and not rushing the steps this is a big help
You are welcome my friend, that is totally my style of training. I like explaining how I’d like to be trained as well :)
@@Goblination-UE5 Wish I had something to train you on as well Ive been doing lots with iclone then transfer to unreal and using the live link im now waiting for reallusion to catchup and get the auto setup for unreal 5.4
This is what we've been waiting for, thanks Gob!
Yasss!!! Cheers my friend! Trust me, the next one coming surpasses this
Wow, great video. Thank you so much!
I will definitely try this out for my game, the moving Cloth looks so dynamic and lifelike.
Totally! 👍🏼 have fun 🤩
very useful tutorial, thanks
🙏 I’m glad it helps!
thank you for the tutorial! really hope this workflow will get better cause there are soo many steps!
Yeah… I’m not sure how this would be a click away from achieving full cloth Simulation, maybe it’ll be like retargetting which now in UE5.4 it is, literally a click of a single button (not in every case mind you, but still better than what we had one version prior to this one). I am certain they’d simplify the steps in their own miraculous UNREAL way… 😉
Great tutorial. Easy to understand. Thank you. I just subscribed
Thanks you so much for the nice comment plus the subscription 🙏
thank you for the indepth tutorials, much appreciated, my friend
💙❤️💙 D. Cheers
what about the skin polygon collision that they mention? is not already added?
Yes, Kinematic Collider video coming out later 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
GREAT VID! Any chance to see a tutorial of how use an existing clod project (or marvelous project) applied to any character?
Thank you my friend. Do you mean a custom cloth you model applied to a random character like from Mixamo?
thanks so much, i will try this now
Awesome, please report success
@Goblination-UE5 everything went well, it was my program of error, your great tutorial, teach us to move the hair of the metahuman , and the wind and gravity 🙏🙏🙏
Have you tried the Marvelous > UE live link plugin yet?
No I haven’t actually, definitely going to :)
Have you?
@@Goblination-UE5 I'm just going to try it now. I've been following your tutorial here with the Md>Chaos cloth, but the results are pretty bad because of the terrible physics asset setup. It really is the breaker of the whole workflow. Hopefully we'll get a better Metahuman physics asset in future updates.
The livesync is for baked/cached sim anim as I'm sure you already know.
Thanks for this tutorial. It was very well paced and comprehensive.
@musashidanmcgrath thank you my friend.
Yes in this tutorial I used the bubble collision method. It sucks!!!
Use the kinematic collider my friend. Game changer and nearly perfect. Here watch this one - czcams.com/video/Y0dz7seit1s/video.htmlsi=V9HyKMJnH6vlIkGP
Good job on this. The big issue is of course that the default dataflow graph doesn’t support proper layer specific work or the new kinematic collider - which is where the really high quality stuff happens. And currently no one can get it to work 😂 we all just have to wait for project talisman I guess
I knowwwww!!! I’m literally just trying to work Kinematic Collider version for that same reason, cylinders and spheres are cool and all but bruh! I want the real thing 😆, my brain is all dried out now!!! Plus, I cant figure a node to connect 2 Collection connections into one (2 nodes into a Sim self collection node). Probably need a break…
@@Goblination-UE5I’m sure you have, but don’t forget also to check out the comments on Tim’s official docs - some useful responses from people in there
@@virtualfilmer will do for sure! Aaaand, It came back to me, right click on the silly node and add another pin… duh… man I hope it’ll work for us sooner then later
@@virtualfilmer I have managed today, finally! To use kinematic collider! It runs smoothly and look great! Using layers now to test layered garments! Good times 😉
great tutorial
why i dont have INCLUDE GARMENTS SIMULATION DATA i am using the 24 version marvelous designer
Yes, you need this specific version which came out I believe at the same time UE5.4.1 this is the version you are looking for - 2024.0.173 (r48386).
Get the Demo from MD website and test it
hello! thanks for the tutorial! do you have any update? i followed the steps but when i do the addweightmap_maxdistance everything gets ruined as if the cloths are full of spikes ... any help ?
Amazing tutorial. I'm stuck a bit at importing my FBX into MD. Somehow the body's orientation is off, laying flat in the face, though I reset everything in AE, as described and running the trial of the newest MD. Thanks!
Cheers! If your FBX is rotated wrong it was probably the channel up was off, usually DCCs have Y up and UE has Z as the up instead, so I would check the FBX you exported and see if it is Z or Y up and go from there...
@@Goblination-UE5 thanks a lot my friend! ♥️
I made it pretty far but I'm stuck in UE. I get no ClothAsset under PHYSICS. I run the newest version of UE. Any idea? Thanks a lot
@@muxinedrisch hmmm, did you install Chaos Cloth plugin at all? if not, please go to edit>Plugins> and search chaos, mark Chaos Cloth, Asset and also Asset Editor. Then restart UE. it should be there after the restart
Awesome as always! Will it work with custom models and cloth from Sketchfab?
Cheers my friend, very appreciated 💙. This would definitely work with custom models and cloth from sketchfab only the first node should be static mesh import instead of USD import and you’d direct it to your desired mesh object. Mind you, the actual cloth properties, you’d create them yourself which isn’t a big deal 👌
@@Goblination-UE5 Wow, sounds great! Thank you very much for the answer! I'll definitely try it! I'll be waiting for new videos from you, have a nice day!
@@dima.osiris 🤩 thank you, have a great day as well
That's by far the best tutorial for this. Plus do you know how to fix the lag during simulation?
Woah, 😦 thank you 🙏 so much for that! I’m trying to understand the exact lag you are referring to, the next video coming will be showing the areas I’m tackling to avoid and fix different issues, so you’d might find a solution then
This is great, thank you for the tutorial! I have a question though; Is it possible to render the cloth simulation with MRQ? Or there is still that issue with the temporal AA that makes the simulation go crazy? This is a big issue that has been there since 4.26 or so...
Cheers, I really only tried rendering to MP4 with a mesh that was made cloth (not from MD) and it worked with no issues. The only times the cloth went crazy on me were if I press Play game instead of simulate and if I import a mesh that I use as chaos cloth object with scale attribute higher than 1.0 (required me to freeze transformation prior to exporting it from Maya)
@@Goblination-UE5 Did you render it to mp4 with the legacy render? Currently there is a bug with this if you use the MRQ and from what I am gathering they haven't fixed it in 5.4, I still need to test it out, I am using 5.3.2.
Perfect. Thanks!
🙏 thank you
@@Goblination-UE5 You Welcome!
Amazing 🙌
Thank you my friend! 🙏
Dear Friend,
After 3 months of perpetual failure in trying to get the Marvelous Designer cloth dispatched perfectly to UE5.4, this video set things rolling for me and my 9 year old daughter Aliyah. WE were planning to make a music video and what started as a time pass for us turned into an adventure of confronting 3D animation probems/resolution.
However we have one outstanding issue with the chaos cloth: As the MH avatar comes closer to the camera, we note that the cloth disappears sometimes. It is possible to overcome this issue?
Regards
Hello 🙋♂️ thank you for your comment. This sounds like an awesome adventure you guys are going through. Yes, most of this industry is tackling challenges and overcoming obstacles. Agreed.
So, is it just the Marvelous Designer mesh that disappears? The whole cloth just suddenly gone? Also, how close are you with the camera to the character?
Have you tweaked the fov to get to your framing/composition?
@@Goblination-UE5 Hello, This happens after the "usda" file is referenced into into the UE5.4, chaos cloth "USDImport" node. Then I dispatch the "TransferSkinWeights" node updates followed by the "SetPhysicsAsset " node updates. In the "preview scene details" I can see the MH animation with the pretty MD clothes + textures. However, when I bring the MH avatar closer, the cloth disappears completely. And when I move the MH avatar far away as before the cloth re-appears again. Not sure what I miss here.
Regards
Hey cool tutorial, just concerned with the end result, there seems to be alot of clipping is that fixable or will we need to wait for future updates on this software/plugin?
Thank you. I’m aware about the clippings, there are tweaks you can do, there are more videos coming out soon, one of them is to simulate the clothes in a layer manner and it’ll provide more accuracy. As it is now with the method shown here, maybe bringing the outfit in separately and be more precise in the clipping areas would be a solution? There are different creative ways to minimise the clipping if self collision isn’t providing the wanted results
Hello, great video!
I have question, Did you check possibility to cache cloth sim in engine using this method?
Thank you 🙏 my friend. I’m playing with it now in 5.4, not getting the results I’d expected. Have you tested caching sim?
Thanks for this tutorial. Please do similar but start with Artstation and bring some garments in from there. You can get a bunch of clothes for $5. Zahra3D is very good.
I will make a tutorial with custom clothing for sure 👌
Thanks for the tutorial! Epic said you could use the kinematic mesh for the collisions, why not using this instead of having to mess around with the collision shapes?
Yes Kinematic mesh is definitely an alternative way, I am actually covering this on another video coming up, you are right. Also it opens up layer as well so you’d have more complicated clothing garments interacting 👌
@@Goblination-UE5 I am SO looking forward to your next tutorial! Will it include skirts or something floaty like that? I think that would be interesting to see the settings for that
@@petit-pedestre2334 it might, maybe a hood as well, I’m still not sure 🤔
cloth asscet is not visible
What do you mean? Did you activate the Plugin in UE? Look for Chaos Cloth plugin in the Plugins section, check it to on and restart engine
Great Tutorial :-) But why is cloth so flat without structur?
Thank you 🙏 this mesh is a simple cloth model, not a proper structural fabric design, the purpose was to show how UE5.4 simulation works. There’s another tutorial coming up showing how to simulate layers
Thank you for this! I'm still having issues because my mesh uses morph targets. It's creating issues with the skin weights as well as the physics asset. Are there any steps to take to fit that?
Hmm, interesting! Are you using Mesh Morpher? There’s a new video coming out in a day or so that I’m showing a different collision method. The cloth treats the skin weights as dynamics so it might work for you 🤔
@@Goblination-UE5 thank you for the response! I'm exporting the mesh skeleton FBX to Maya, using a blend shape to create morph targets, and then importing the new mesh skeleton into UE and linking it there. It's been working in all other regards, but when using chaos cloth, I have the mentioned issues. Is Mesh Morpher a plugin? I'm also very new at this...
Update: Mesh Morpher Lite is a godsend. Fixed the problem! Thanks!
@@hannahradcliff I wish we could use gifs in YT comment, I'd use the happiest gif that is available :)
Could you please make a tutorial of how to make Feyd Rautha’s outfit in the fighting scene in Dune 2? Please😢
Interesting idea my friend 🤗
@@Goblination-UE5 That will be awesome🥳!
Very fluent thanks ! ıs it working on 5.3?
Chaos Cloth works in 5.3 but a bit differently, here is how it works in the previous release: czcams.com/video/2mws-m7q6uQ/video.html
@@Goblination-UE5 Hello again in 5.3 UE crashes at "transfer skin weight" when i try to pick my skeletal mesh (m_med_nrw_body )for metahuman that i created. Thanks for your reply.
@@emregul4965 When you export the FBX from your 3D software, I use Maya, so, before exporting, I make sure I select it and I preform Cleanup, so it will fix and 5 edge face, any weird and not welded vertices and such. I also triangulate the mesh usually (cleanup will do it automatically anyway), I also delete faces that act as a double layers (rim of a sleeve or neck area). I then export that as FBX. Usually that solves the crashes for me
How did you get that perfect physics asset? The default one looks like a snowman
Hahaha I so agree with you about the snowman comparison! This is groundbreaking my friend, making a video, step by step tutorial as I’m writing this reply :) super exciting!
Agreed! Man without a proper physics assets, the result is terrible :D
@@chriscoppens3535 💯 also, try the kinematic collider option
@@Goblination-UE5 oh awesome! never got a notification that you responded... I will check it out, thanks!
do we must use marvelous? or can do with blender?
We do not have to use MD at all!!! The new video coming out shows just a normal FBX clothing out of Mixamo with Cloth Simulation 🤩
whats the work around for older version of MD????
If you did export USD from an older version of MD make sure it’s one piece, welded and not the separated option, import the USD into your project like you would normally into your content browser, import it into a new folder since it is importing 3 folders or so for mesh, materials, one thing would be static mesh of your clothes.
Now in Chaos Cloth, the USD node, replace it with - ‘static mesh import’ node that would start it all instead and direct it to the static mesh that was imported from the USD you’d exported from MD
I'm using Marvelous Designer 2024.0 , but the USD import is not working for me. You mentioned that there's another way to import, can you please share that?
What issues do you get with the import?
It’s probably not the correct version of MD that you are using, the latest one was released just at the same time UE5.4 was released. Check your version inside the software, this is the version that would work in the import as USD - 2024.0.173.48386 the numbers after 2024.0 should be 173…
Anyway, you could just import an FBX
@@Goblination-UE5 after selecting the USDA file the lod error pops up again
@@SoumikProduction Does this happen like from this point in the video? - czcams.com/video/DeZoBZ7XrDU/video.html
@@Goblination-UE5yes, exactly 😢 please help! This video was so helpful! Just got stuck at this part. & thank you so much for taking the time to reply!
@@SoumikProduction that tells me you don’t have the proper Marvelous Designer version, I’d just export the clothing as FBX from MD, make sure it’s welded and single mesh when you export.
In UE, import the mesh you got from MD, when in Chaos Cloth, use import static mesh and give it the FBX u just imported into engine. The rest do what is in the video
godbless
and that guy looks like little elon musk
Hahahaha too funny 🤣
