Marvelous Designer is a Sci-Tech Academy Award-winning cloth simulation software for CG artists to empower their designs. With its pattern-based approach, anyone can master the art of cloth and garment modeling for creative projects, regardless of initial skill level.

Due to its intuitive & powerful features, Marvelous Designer has been adopted by top game studios and production companies, including Wētā Workshop, Netflix, Square Enix, and Ubisoft among many others. It is now considered to be setting the industry standard when it comes to character garment design and cloth simulation for big-screen film and gaming productions, including The Hobbit, Elden Ring, and Lies of P.

Create Realistic & Dynamic Cloth Simulations

Marvelous Designer’s interactive design interface and compatibility with multiple 3D software programs allows creators to easily incorporate Marvelous workflow for instantaneous editing, draping, and precise simulation of garments onto 3D forms.

From basic shirts to intricately pleated dresses and rugged uniforms, Marvelous Designer can virtually replicate fabric textures and physical properties to the last wrinkle, achieving natural fit and movement. The software’s advanced material simulation also allows for more than just garment creation, including flags, tents, sails, and many other elements that have cloth-like properties.

Take advantage of Marvelous Designer’s powerful features, such as auto-fitting suit, styleline editing, and retopology meant to free your creativity from the constraints of polygon editing and edge flow.
