One of the best tutorials I have seen on how to design and simulate clothes in Blender without addons. I followed your tutorial and did the entire process 4 times with increasingly better results. The process is definitely not quick between iterations; the one part of the process I would like to see more efficiency is after the UV to Geo step, is somehow automating transforming and rotating the flat cloth parts around the collision body without manually doing so every time. I don't mind creating the sewing lines as it's like a puzzle for me!
Thank you, this is awesome! Always loved your cloth tutorials! Still remember the one from about 2018. It seems to be not on the channel anymore, but I repeated it so many times that it is still in memory. The only thing I could not understand was the reason of the trick with poke faces, so thanks for the explanation this time! Very exciting and inspiring tutorial!
was that tutorial on the shirt? i cant seem to figure out how to do the shirt with all the details like buttons, collar, those things at the end of the sleeve, etc
I believe because you used a certain number in unquadrify it cause the eeflow to rotate. Most times when you use uneven number or even, cant remember which one, it will eventually go back to the coorect flow.
They're saying that when you poke the faces, then run tris-to-quads, it's changing the directional flow of your topology and that at enough iterations you'd have your original flow. Although I just glanced, that seemed to be the intention; not sure they understood.@@MaxPuliero
13:41 i dont understand how u added the geometry node onto the model (like i dont know how u were able to search for it in blender) when i drag and drop it on the model it wants to open another instance instead of applying the node onto my pants model EDIT: i found the solution :) all i had to do was create a new assets folder ( \Documents\Blender\Assets ) then place the .blend file in there and it showed up in the assets library
Awesome video! I'm not sure why when I use the shrinkwrap modifier I don't have the same result as you. The shape of the belt gets deformed on the sides when I change the wrap method to project. The volume of the shape doesn't appear even as you have it. I'm using Blender 4.3 right now.
If you don’t plan on doing cloth sim when animating the character and just having the clothes deform with the character rig would need to make the topology of the clothes resemble the topology of the character? Like the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows?
@@dustinbaugh6263 it depends on various factors, usually the inner body is deleted, if you need to keep it try to have enough polygons to be able to deform it in the same way the body get deformed.
@harrysanders818 thank you for answering that "freeze" means "apply", I don't have the money for Maya or marvelous and am stuck with free software, blender, so i had no idea what the video was talking about during those segments.
I didnt understand why you first make it flat with the geometry node sstup and then out it back. Is that because you want it to wrap around using thr cloth physic. Same as how marvelos design does it? Ps i think i remember an addon which does the same, that was before geometry nodes. I believe it usrs the iv map to make the mesh flat
@@MaxPuliero so basically the same or is GN faster. Guess so, ive not gone onto that road yet. Still feels to impressive and bends to wards math skills
@@MaxPuliero To give it the cloth effect/s...folds...wrinkles...you could sculpt those yourself if your sculpt-able. go to... th-cam.com/video/0gLJlr_r3TE/w-d-xo.html She makes it look so simple.
Really greaten tutorial, Made me redo some sim for a character I'm sculpting. I followed this guide and simulated some cargo pants with pockets on the sides and back; What would be you method of connecting pockets to the main pants of a shirt, because currently the pockets are connected to the main fabric geo which is creating 3 edges connect to a vertex. From look a refs I could just delete the geo in the pockets so it's like an extrusion to make it 2 edges connected to a vertex.
Why didn't you just copy the whole mesh from the waist down and make it into a separate selection? Then you only need to make a few adjustments here an there after that.
wow, thats complicated.. No one seems to adress the part of closing the sewing lines in any tutorial ive watched. When using pants like this in animation, the sewing lines will split open. How do you close them? I always have the problem of overlapping geometry and literally thousands of verts. All by hand?
ok, thanks a lot, that somehow worked, but i had to edge select and use amount of faces around an edge and then merge by distance, but that worked.. didnt know about shift g. thanks for the tip.@@MaxPuliero
@@MaxPuliero I think should be said that your method actually allows you to quickly concept out the pattern, where as MD would require you to learn or get a bunch of patterns beforehand. I'm not a seamstress so this is infinitely more intuitive for a 3d guy 😂 Amazing workflow, probably best one i've seen so far for blender cloth and sew sim! Edit: if you had access to MD I'm wondering if it might be possible to just export the first bake in and simulate/adjust more folds in MD 🤔
Man what MAX did is really good ..............but seriously you say wrinkles is better than MD? sim is faster then MD?................a pant like that inside MD is calculated in a second. btw, points of wiev..........what i see is the MAX's sukiru (スキル) (the skill).
Yup. After...it was 2017...no, 2016. After 8 years, I realized that I would "not" find the time to relearn Blender. So I just skip those other, "suppose to do" things for a while and do what a artist/creator must do...That is a long list. Anyways, I keep having issues with Shrink Wrap intersecting with my model/collision despite the displacements or offsets I use. Too much and the pants are looking baggy. I can't find those vertices sweet spots which give a snug fit and not share the same space as her ass after the modifier...Yeah I'm using a female model...I rather work around a camel toe than a banana hammock. ...maybe in the collision settings? I really would like to get to the pant legs...
It may not be ideal, but then the overhead service charges, compared to...for example...Adobe... But then I have not, to yet, to ever, contribute to that bloated software. I really thought Adobe would have their own OS platform by 2020.
So back again trying this...Geometry node issue. But Came across a technique that may save some time with making the pants. th-cam.com/video/0gLJlr_r3TE/w-d-xo.html Mask over your model in Sculpt Mode the design then "Extract Mask". Shrinkwrap, displace, edit...Then Quad Remesh it and continue.

@@shamusmooreI deleted it a long time ago because it wasn't accurate on a few points. I should record a new one for sure.
@@MaxPuliero I would absolutely love if you did that!
I was lying down feeling sleepy, but a whole video on pants simulation woke me up. I am a nerd.

It really is about the right numbers and the topology.

This Lesson is Simply INCREDIBLE!!!
THANKS A LOT!!!
It is beautifully made!
Thank you!
What you mean by freeze transformations. I other apps this means you lock it, so it cant be moved. But you actually seem to apply the transformstions
I meant "apply"
Applying transforms is called 'Freeze' in Maya, pretty standard term for this outside of Blender, so no need to smartass him on terminology.
@@harrysanders818 well sorry but, Maya isn't all. Freeze is really a temp thing normally
@harrysanders818 thank you for answering that "freeze" means "apply", I don't have the money for Maya or marvelous and am stuck with free software, blender, so i had no idea what the video was talking about during those segments.
Bro my pant is get shrink like a wrapper and the sewing has a lot of gaps what should I do
@@AK-fn2in make them more loose, it should help.
@MaxPuliero how
@@MaxPuliero how

Have you also tried but without that step using the gm node setup. I wonder if it will make that much of a difference
Yes, Textools makes the UV flat too. I highly abused that functionality before Geo Nodes :D
@@RomboutVersluijs without flattening the geometry I got something okay but with a lot less folds, at least in my experience.
@@MaxPuliero guess because it was already into shape. Wonder, if you pin top parts and use less friction, if the fabric moves better. .
@@MaxPuliero so basically the same or is GN faster. Guess so, ive not gone onto that road yet. Still feels to impressive and bends to wards math skills
13:44 How can I added the geometry node onto the model
You have to add it to your asset browser
Super useful tutorial but the whole process just makes me want to use marvelous designer 😂
that's the whole point xD
Why would you separate the object just to sew it back together again? There's no need to do that.
You are right
@@MaxPuliero To give it the cloth effect/s...folds...wrinkles...you could sculpt those yourself if your sculpt-able.

It's a life of compromises.
@@MaxPulieroThanks, I guess you're never gonna see in there 😅
13:41 how did you do that
I used a custom geo nodes that you can download in the description
@@MaxPulieroI am trying to do it with text tool but the sewing edges are getting disconnected
@@MaxPulieropls respond it
Why didn't you just copy the whole mesh from the waist down and make it into a separate selection? Then you only need to make a few adjustments here an there after that.
Hi, can you tell me the time?

How do you close them? I always have the problem of overlapping geometry and literally thousands of verts. All by hand?
Hi, well I select one of the sewing edge and I can select similar by amount of adjacent vertex (shift+G) then I merge all in one click.
ok, thanks a lot, that somehow worked, but i had to edge select and use amount of faces around an edge and then merge by distance, but that worked.. didnt know about shift g. thanks for the tip.@@MaxPuliero

How long does one have to work in blender to get to this level
first is easey but later is hard 🥵

i'm impressed that the wrinkles look way better than marvelous designer and blender sim is way faster than marvelous designer.
Thanks! Blender is not bad indeed, but Marvelous Designer is easier, faster and intuitive.
